Mine are stock, but of these, I think I like the green one best, although all are nice. The only one that was a bit over the top for me was one of Jaap's from years ago.... can't remember the color/ pattern.... but I think it was on the Monochrom, or maybe an M8.

Yep, it was a Lizard MM, lasted about six weeks....

I visited a friend recently, and he showed me an M3 with sharkskin leather. It is so much better than the cow leather they use these days - it's grippy, almost like sandpaper. Why don't they even offer it as an a'la carte option these days? 

 

Because they can't get the right size sharks?

Thank you Jaap, these look great. 

Of all the Leica special editions the one I always liked the most was the Hermes MP with cognac coloured leather. That a la carte option on the left you got there comes very close to that. Did you order them like this or did you get the leather changed later? Does anyone know what Leica charges for an a la carte leather being applied to a customer's camera?

All of these were changed later, sometimes a number of times. On occasion I have used Cameraleather DIY- quite nice and affordable price, but these are all by Leica.

As for the current price, you'll have to ask Leica CS.
