kevin_baker___heidelberg_ Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I just picked up my new M7 today and noticed a small pinkish red "0" rubber stamped on the serial number cards in the box, and on the serial number label on the outside of the box. <p> Anyone know what this is? My other Leica equipment has nothing of the sort. <p> Can't wait to burn up some film in the morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charles barcellona www.bl Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 The "O" is for obsolete, since the new M7 with improved viewfinder (no flair) will make its grand entrance at Photokina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_baker___heidelberg_ Posted May 31, 2002 Author Share Posted May 31, 2002 That's great news, since the M8 is coming out at Photokina I will have one of the lowest production M bodies ever made (3/02-9/02 total production time), surely the next MP. <p> I should be able to pay for a new car with my take from this project, but No!, I already peeled off the plastic on the baseplate...

john_c. Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I hate to be pedantic.... but the word is "flare"....not "flair". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_piper2 Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 Oh, I dunno, John! <p> A chrome DS M3 has no 'flare'. By comparison, the M7 has no 'flair'. <p> (sorry - couldn't resist!) <p> Rick Pinto at PhotoVillage reports that ALL Leica's packaging is changing to silver boxes 'sted white. Also no more plastic internal boxes for the camera bodies - true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we won't see red boxes again until Leica starts shipping cameras with black paint as a standard option. <p> feli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nesrani Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 Surely it stands for "0verpriced". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
