Leica M7 Hermes Edition

<p>Caution, contains glaring vanity. Although, if it improves Leica's bottom line, so much the better for us who want them to stay in business.<br>

<p>Wow, check out the comments at the end of the article.<br>

<strong>These "purse" people just love it ! </strong><br>

<strong></strong>I guess they're a different breed altogether.</p>

<p>I saw the orange color and thought, yikes it's ugly!</p>

<p>I like the lens hood.</p>

<p>Sorry I can't be more supportive, but that orange is positively traffic cone-like.</p>

<p>Heck, who said rangefinders are unobtrusive?<br>

Well, might come in handy for beeing localized when your black D&G helicopter has a breakdown...<br>

Also possible that you will find them cheap, but flooded in Carribean pawn shops.<br>

Other than that, maybe potential theft is avoided by making people think that it is a1980's NIKONOS-V.<br>

BTW, think of an edition with red dots all over the body...like the LV stuff.<br>

We would probably remember it as the Measels Edition.<br>

So, not that bad at all.<br>

You can always go to the shoemaker of your confidence and let him tint the leather covering.<br>

I'm in.<br>

Best, Knut</p>

<p>Note the MP-style controls. Not interested in the body, but I sure would like that 35 Lux ASPH + hood.</p>

I liked the lens hood too... I'd keep it and get rid of the body... Ha!

<p>The could at least have gold-plated it to complete the garish looks...</p>

<p>How about anodizing it purple, instead of plain? Would have been much more dramatic.</p>

 

<p>This is a camera for night photography. Glows in the dark.</p>

<p>What I don't like so much is that new trend from Leica for chrome lenses.<br>

Silver anodized aluminum alloy barrel and ring instead of chrome on brass.<br>

The last three chrome lenses issued by Leica are like that: the 28/2,8 Asph, 28/2 Asph and this 35/1,4 Asph.</p>

<p>1° Frankly nouveau riche BUT I realy love the lens shade !<br>

2) Shall we soon see fakes in streetmarkets in San Remo (Italy) like for the hand bags with poor leather that flakes !<br>

3) Maybe Erwin should discuss the leather grain as I think he did for vulcanite...<br>

4° PS John I love your comment (anodized...), do not tell them they'll do it....</p>

<p>love it. orange was always my favorite color.<br>

$12k. far outta my range. sure is beautiful.</p>
