I was wondering if the edition of 450 reporters was sold out. B&H shows it discontinued which is similar to sold out. Broadway Camera is saying they have a new reporter for $11,4999.99, and nothing is listed on eBay. Looks like people are using it, or collecting them.

There's a silver 50 1.2 Noct for $1.1 million and another for just under $500K on eBay. Some of these collectors have delusions of grandeur.

The M10-R will probably be the basis of the next limited edition. Since not many Leicas are taken into war zones these days, I heard a rumour they'll be honouring another archetypal group of users with the 'Retired Dentist' edition, plated in amalgam and covered in stylish tweed. Production will be strictly limited to 10,000 pieces.

custom painted a brand new Squarehood brass soft shutter button to matte black after some sanding, primer and paint. Looks factory and just the way I wanted it.

Harry Benz J-Loop Camo 2 arrived today.

The j Loop sling was a customer's idea 

The Camo-2 was a customer's idea.

I asked Harry for the two to be combined for the Reporter, and Harry added the one of a kind clip in bronze as a welcome and approved surprise..

I have already taken some photos with this combination and my photography has improved immensely.

I am now departing for Afghanistan..

The Kevlar is fine and showing no wear or fading.

Hi there,

 

do you have any news regarding the wear and tear ?  because hdmsars photos looked really concerning to me. 

 

best regards

I have not experienced any problem.  And as you saw from my pictures I carry the camera pretty roughly.  Kevlar is a fabric unlike leather. The edges on extreme closeup have texture.

The resale value of this camera is  holding up pretty well if you check the bidding this week on eBay. So even with the M11 out there and the Q2 reporter, it remains a desirable camera.
