That box oughta work well to keep cigars, eh, Al?

No, this one is the "Silver Jubilee" edition (hence the "Jubli Perak" inscription on the poor Summilux). I think the ones with the diamonds are special orders for the Sultan's relatives and most distinguished guests.

Cheers!

That is Leica M6 Sultan of Negeri Brunei Darussalam Silver jubilee GOLD Edition (1992)

[And it was Leica M6 Platinum Sultan of Brunei 50th Birthday Edition each with diamond (1995)]

Why is it back?

Why is it back?

It's being offered for sale by a certain vendor specializing in over-inflated prices.

Cheers!

All cynicism aside, I have a gold Rolleiflex Aurum. I do have to admit, a gold and lizard camera is stunningly beautiful.

So, I can be sympathetic to those lucky souls that can afford to, or are lucky enough, to own a piece of photo-jewelry like a gold-leather camera.

anyone knows the price of this jewel?Maybe is used to keep a door open.....

I must confess that I see no point to owning a camera that is ONLY a piece of bling. But, then, I've never understood conspicuous consumption either.

Photo Arsenal wants € 15.000,00 for it

 

[Debusti Paolo]

just like a point'n shot camera.............

I rather think the black bits detract from the overall look... better with an M2/3/ MP style wind on lever & no rub inserts (of what practical use could they be anyway on a gold camera?)
& lose the battery cover & the metering system... Goldfinger plated everything..

 

[Marsopa]

The strap is not included?

YES you're right,so I don't buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀

 

[Debusti Paolo]

no the strap and lens cap are optionals !!!!!!!!!!!!😀

 

[TIGRE]

there is no information about a strap at all. I thing that camera is for a collection but not for shooting - that's why no strap 😉 it's a pity 😉

Well if the sultan sold it to Arsenal he either didn't think it's worth keeping, he is acutely short of money, or he knows something we don't know.

Could there be a platinum-plated M9 with a beryllium shutter button on its way?

Let's book it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
