TomB_tx Posted January 16, 2019 Share #2 Posted January 16, 2019 The lens proportions look like a standard Summicron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 16, 2019 Share #3 Posted January 16, 2019 Very traditional. Leica has "Safari" editions - all of the useless for safari use - since the R3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
derleicaman Posted January 16, 2019 Share #4 Posted January 16, 2019 Pretty normal for a Safari Edition. Looks like standard 50/2 in a different finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertknappmd Posted January 16, 2019 Share #5 Posted January 16, 2019 They have a market of collectors.. Pays the bills! Albert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted January 16, 2019 Share #8 Posted January 16, 2019 Always fun to see Leica turn $5 worth of paint into $1500 worth of profits. Thereby reducing the weight of wallets not connected to anything resembling a mind.... 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveco Posted January 16, 2019 Share #9 Posted January 16, 2019 It doesn’t bother me at all. If they have a market for these and can make some profit that helps Leica survive, then by all means, make these. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemeyer Posted January 17, 2019 Share #10 Posted January 17, 2019 Just back from a safari in Tanzania. After careful thought (about 11 seconds) I decided to leave the M10 home and take the Fuji X-T2 and some long, stabilized, AF glass. Right tool for the job. Great trip. Lovely photos. 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted January 17, 2019 Share #13 Posted January 17, 2019 Actually I got loads of good Safari photographs on M cameras. Using the various Telyt-V versions on Visoflex III with non-EVF enabled ones and on the 240 with EVF and Vario-Elmar 105-280 and APO-extenders. Unfortunately none had safari paint :(.

howiebrou Posted January 19, 2019 Share #16 Posted January 19, 2019 I like the Safari editions simply because I think they look nicer. Goes well with my olive green Nikonos V😄 If they produced an olive green version for each camera i would be the first in line. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted January 19, 2019 Share #17 Posted January 19, 2019 I will say that if a gun were put to my head to buy "some" Leica-M special edition, the Safari is the one I could most live with. Better than red-and-gold dragons and such... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
