Hello,

for those who are interested. Here are some pics of the cobalt blue version. By the way thank you very much to John Thawley for the hints and of course a big thanks to Morgan for his beautiful work.

Peter,

An interesting combination of silver and blue, thanks for posting.

What's the script on the front below the viewfinder window?

Pete.

Hi Pete,

it's only a simple small sticker, but it looks very nice.

Regards Peter

Not exactly my taste, but I think the reason is the warm background colors (reflected in the chrome of the D2) and the cold blue. My wife says it's a great looking camera!

I try to imagine a cool photo on white Apple Store background with the right color balance - I think it would "sell a lot" then.

I've been ambivalent about having one done in red... I'm really tempted.

Thanks for the share,

Interesting camera treatment. Do you have a website or contact info for Morgan?

Hello,

btw: I had always some problems about the low pressure point of the shutter release button. I'm a musician (classical guitar) with long finger nail which effect it.

Now I found a adhesive softbutton, which solve my problem. It works very nice for me and I'm happy with it.

Regards Peter

Each to his own.

I prefer the black modell, but I got to say this color looks awesome - the reason why I wouldnt use it: its pretty flashy .

[cobbslane]

At least you won't get it knicked!

it has moxie .... that's for sure.

i had my hexar done in maroon leather, but can't make up my mind about my D2 .... the red and blue are too intense for me ..... the black, gray or green shades are enticing.

I think a darker green would be pretty elegant.

i like it with the brown leather straps on. But with out it its not looks so tempting
Great job with the limited sticker

[rob_rob]

Looks hideous! And it belongs in the cabinet, behind glass - not in the field, actually taking pictures...

hmmmm .... british racing green ? ...... or italian racing red ?

am going to italy in the Fall ..... do i have the moxie to go red on my D2?
i will be telling all the young women that i am a famous hollywood movie producer (wife's staying home.... just me and my son are going!!) .... what color would a sleazy old movie producer wear?

then again my first car was a Jag ....

maybe it's time i bought another D2 and go black AND green?

jees ..... who started this anyway?

I am sooooo tempted to do one in red. LOL - and, as Thorsten said, I wouldn't mind a medium brown like the Hermes, either. It's funny, I rarely carry the black lizard version and tend to favor the tan leather one. In fact, I use it WAY more than I had originally intended. Red or British racing green.... tough choice.

How much does it cost to have a D2 customised like these?
