White Paint M3??? Reach your own conclusions

[robklurfield]

I'm not into polls, but it sure would seem that opinions on this albino M3 are almost evenly divided.

Like anything I've ever owned that was white, that camera would have a stain on it somewhere with five minutes after I laid hands on it, so no one here need worry about me bidding against them on this one.

You'd have to dress like this guy to pull it off:

It's perverse, but I like it!

hold me closer, tiny dancer

Another potential bidder weighs in with opinion... though he seems to be doing just fine with cam on his phone.

It's actually quite beautiful. No fraud going on there, well documented with photos of the painting and CLA... pretty straight up modded M3. Looks sort of awesome.

I like it. Would have look nicer with pale tan leather though. I almost bought a white olympus M4/3 body a couple of years ago.

 

[Vickko]

Yeah, I almost tossed my cookies when I saw it.

 

[Paul Luscher]

You know you can't use it after Labor Day.....

 

[jsrockit]

I think it looks pretty cool, actually.

I have to agree. Really nice. No way I'd buy it, but it is nice to look at.

One day + 10 hours to go and it's $1.700 now.. 😉

(Hmmm.. this year light and bright colors are "in".. time to paint a couple of M's isabelline white, cotton candy pink and lavender blush 😛 )

 

[PatrickONeill]

a DR 50 would look really nice on this.

Sold for $2000, I bet the new owner drives a white bentley too

I like it... Also... The Leica test equipment is worth a look 😱

The paint job is excellent!

Hmmm...would love to see a follow-up with a lens and appropriate matching strap and camera case.

Would make a terrific camera for weddings, IMO.:angel:

All things considered, $2K is actually not all that much for a camera that's caused this much conversation. It could've sold for even more, I think, had the auction kept going.

Me personally? I think it's kinda cool, but I also can't help but laugh every time I see it!
