MacSpikes Posted January 8, 2010 Share #1 Â Posted January 8, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I really like the X1, but would like it even more if it was black. Do you think it will be made in black in the near future? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Hi MacSpikes, Take a look here Will the X1 become available on black?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

delnerdo Posted January 9, 2010 Share #3 Â Posted January 9, 2010 Or a limited red edition for twice the price. Platinum plating anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Kerridge Posted January 11, 2010 Share #4 Â Posted January 11, 2010 Or perhaps a sapphire rear screen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thawley Posted January 12, 2010 Share #10 Â Posted January 12, 2010 Personally, I like the retro look of the camera "as-is." Though, a little leather wouldn't hurt. Â JT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuxBob Posted January 13, 2010 Share #14 Â Posted January 13, 2010 The X1 is tempting but I do like putting a camera to my eye and looking through a viewfinder. Fumbling through pocket or bag for a clip-on finder does not thrill me either but this picture reminds me of the fold up and fold down finders that were popular on some cameras - Rolleiflex comes to mind butI have a feeling that I came across same on some old 35mm cameras.

MacSpikes Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share #19  Posted January 31, 2010 Looks very much like this in black!  That's what I meant. I think it would look great in Barnack suit. I do like the current silver edition, but black would really convince me. And at the risk of getting slapped: a stealth edition with a black dot would even be more perfect. :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsrockit Posted January 31, 2010 Share #20 Â Posted January 31, 2010 Buy the X1 and paint it then... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
