M8 - Black Paint


Recommended Posts

Got my hands on something of an oddity. I am told there are only 5 of them, though I have a hard time believing it.

 

Feast your eyes on a black paint - leica m8 - with chrome trim.

Yes that looks good!

 

I have a chrome finish (& I have no desire for black) but this looks unusual & rather distinguished.

 

Infinitely more desirable than pink ferret skin or whatever endangered animal seems appropriate.

 

Is this made on demand or whas it a special issue? In the latter case was it a special occasion?

Just where did you get it? From a authorized dealer? I suspect not. I also suspect it is a chrome M8 that someone has painted the top & bottom plate black.

 

If this was a real factory paint job and there were only 5 of them made it would be worth mucho dinaro.

 

But hey what do I know.

I just saw someone picking up one of these. This comes from a very official source: 50 of them made, $22,000 worth, not for sale but just special promotional item. I was there when the owner of a very big camera store received his, which he bought for his collection.
