NB23 Posted November 15, 2016 Share #3 Posted November 15, 2016 Id buy one just because that would mean that I'm a rich bastard, not because I have good taste. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter H Posted November 15, 2016 Share #5 Posted November 15, 2016 Id buy one just because that would mean that I'm a rich bastard, not because I have good taste. Are you sure it wouldn't clash with your pink Lambourghini? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

james.liam Posted November 15, 2016 Share #7 Posted November 15, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) It has Hari's name (aka, 'The God Particle') written all over it. In a good way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGodParticle/Hari Posted November 15, 2016 Share #9 Posted November 15, 2016 It has Hari's name (aka, 'The God Particle') written all over it. In a good way. Originally, this lens was a one off made for Dr. Kaufmann, seems like they are now making a limited edition out of it I do love red lettering on black lenses, but this is more than what I can digest James!

Ivar B Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share #10 Posted November 15, 2016 Id buy one just because that would mean that I'm a rich bastard, not because I have good taste. Bad taste and a lot of money is a dangerous combination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgk Posted November 15, 2016 Share #11 Posted November 15, 2016 Red anodising has been around for a very long time - and to me it smacks of 'cheapness' I'm afraid, because it used to be the 'standard', 'cheap' finish on many anodised items. Whilst it actually looks far better than I would have anticipated, its not a lens colour that I would want to live with myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted November 15, 2016 Share #15 Posted November 15, 2016 OK, I like it. As long as it is matched with a body the same colour and a red glittered leather strap. Will I buy it? Er........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveBK Posted November 15, 2016 Share #16 Posted November 15, 2016 Because they think we are idiots and will pay for anything. Which given previous limited editions.. a few of us are. If it means they subsidize R&D for mainline products, so be it. But could we please get some of those soon? 2016 has been the year of Emperors New Clothes so far. 2015 was a great year though, so hopefully 2017 will be as well.

JPH1962 Posted November 15, 2016 Share #17 Posted November 15, 2016 Time to say good-by to Leica.... they get more and more to a rich fanboy brand.. Sorry - but the proliferation of limited editions, titan coatings and other questionable "innovations" is just horrible time to reach for cover I believe...

erlingmm Posted November 15, 2016 Share #19 Posted November 15, 2016 I think it is beautiful, but not sure I would take it to the street ;-) What is the price in EURO? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adli Posted November 15, 2016 Share #20 Posted November 15, 2016 For one a special edition I find appealing, but would never by it anyway. I buy my gear in order to use it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
