aksclix Posted May 19, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) What is the significance of the number xxx/900 on the flash mount? I guess it indicates the nth camera manufactured in the range 1 to 900 as part of the limited edition? Does this mean the smaller the number, the older the camera?

jaapv Posted May 19, 2021 Share #5 Posted May 19, 2021 Not that I know of. It is just one of the many special editions that Leica produces from time to time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted May 19, 2021 Share #6 Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Actually it would appear it is the edition number https://www.paulsmith.com/uk/paul-smith-for-leica-leica-cl-paul-smith-edition?gclid=Cj0KCQjw7pKFBhDUARIsAFUoMDau-wkjS4WZdaXNEc9u1FJQwRP_nzKDt8s0CfR58iKC9VpxpYNRPKUaAv1zEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds This limited edition of 900 is individually numbered.......although every Leica has an individual number!

jaapv Posted May 19, 2021 Share #7 Posted May 19, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Frankly I am slightly gobsmacked that someone would pay such a price for basically a workhorse APS camera tarted up on funny colours. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind paying a reasonable price in the used market which I did.. colors are like eye candy.. some people only focus on the Leica colors from the glass and sensors.. while some also like variation on the colors outside..

Gadfly21 Posted May 19, 2021 Share #9 Posted May 19, 2021 I held one in-person and the colors are actually really nice. If I had the disposable cash, I would consider it, but alas, I have other needs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aksclix Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share #10 Posted May 19, 2021 I am selling it off by the way and one of the buyers had asked me this question.. and I didn't know the significance of the edition number.. I found that even at ISO 800, 1600 the images had unacceptable amounts of noise for me.. I am never going to be happy with APSc with the gfx and sl2 I have..

You do want to make your everyday workhorse a bit fun to handle and behold, no? It's the only CL edition I like, and it has the added benefit that both black and silver lenses look good on the blue body. I put on a black Haoge grip which doesn't spoil the appearance, either, and makes it so much better to hold and handle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephencdean Posted May 28, 2021 Share #13 Posted May 28, 2021 I didn’t buy a CL until the Paul Smith came out. Then don’t use the TL/CL lenses much at all, as apart from 18mm, they are too bulky. I put M lenses on it. The CL Paul Smith with a titanium or Safari lens, is a sight to behold! It is quite a good camera as well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
