Today i finally received my 3th safari lens ordered, a 28mm Summicron. Because of the shut-down of the Leica factory due to Corona, the production of the safari lenses was delayed this year. But now i have my collection completed, a Leica M10-P safari, with the 3 safari lenses, a 28mm, 50 mm and a 90 mm summicron in safari-look.

Love this. Nicely done. Leica should offer the 4 piece set in some shape or form.

I love the Safari green M cameras!

Was very close on purchasing this exact model (but choose a cheaper previous gen non Safari M camera for both budget, and for different other reasons, but it was a very close call!), and I think it absolutely one of the best looking cameras in history. Love it! :)

That said; I have thought about getting some of the Safari green lenses as they are not that much more expensive than the silver ones. But decided against it.

Why?

It does not match well to my current M-camera, and even if I in the future would really like to get a new Safari camera (perhaps M10R Safari; Leica, please?) I have come to the conclusion to not get any green lenses. Looking at it several times it is very clear for me that the silver lenses looks absolutely the best on the Safari greens bodies. I prefer that combination (Silver lenses on Green body) way better than the above one combination (Green lenses on Green body). 

This is just like I prefer the Cognac leader strap that you use, over the Safari green colour strap (on Safari green body) that I have seen other use (Green body, green lenses, and green strap; awful IMO; total colour match does not automatically guarantee the best look).

Taste is personal, but that is how the preference in aesthetics is for me. :)
