Dieter Schaefer Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 <blockquote> <p>Only 100 lenses</p> </blockquote> <p>Given how ugly they look, that's a good thing. Quite certain 100 collectors will happily pay the almost $9K for each, hoping their resale value will raise in a decade or so. Until then, they will sit happily on a shelf or cabinet.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman 202 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 i think it is beautiful even if it is ridiculously expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Williams Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 <p>I suppose you can always gaffer tape the lens to make it less conspicuous.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCL Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 <p>Bring on the bling....maybe a diamond encrusted one next. Should appeal to a particular generation.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman 202 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 it's more beautiful than 99.999999999999% of photos ever taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 <p>I did look at the date to make sure it wasn't April 1.</p> <p>It appears to appeal to post moderns, at least. This is another fine mess they've got us into. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon_dragon Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 <p>I'm thinking LED lights in the barrel.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave16 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 <p>David W. Griffin got it right :D .<br> The lens barrel is horrible, pure and simple. I wouldn't have one in a gift.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_r._fulton_jr. Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 <p>I like it. But then I considered buying a red Nikon D3200. Personally, I think it shows a sense of humor on Leica's part that surprises me. We tend to be so serious about our equipment. It's just stuff. The photographs are what's important. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
