Advertisement Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 Hi Herr Barnack, Take a look here Japan Camera Hunter unveils cherry blossom-themed M4. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
plaidshirts Posted November 5, 2021 Share #2 Posted November 5, 2021 I rather like it.

Gobert Posted November 5, 2021 Share #3 Posted November 5, 2021 I think this is a lovely cam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anbaric Posted November 5, 2021 Share #4 Posted November 5, 2021 The 1984 version is super tacky, especially the Party slogans on the base plate. Th others are sort of fun. I suppose if your camera needs a repaint, then why not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

250swb Posted November 5, 2021 Share #6 Posted November 5, 2021 But my credentials as a Leica photographer would be on the line if I got this, so how quickly will it brass or will I need to get the sandpaper out? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cboy Posted November 5, 2021 Share #7 Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Would be nice if Leica officially did a feminine inspired theme in their special edition M lineup. Have they ever? Would be nice for a his and hers Leica. Much like gshock with their lovers collection Edited November 5, 2021 by cboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us consult the recently discovered Dead Wetzlar Scrolls for a definitive answer. Quote Leicaviticans 3:23 - "For it is written, real Leica photographers shall shoot only with M cameras and lenses that are black or silver, or Safari editions. Touch not the unclean thing, M cameras and lenses which have been defiled with gaudy paint by evildoers who commit such vile and unseemly acts. Lo and behold. even to touch these abominations thou shalt surely be smitten with sore boils from the sole of thy foot unto thy crown by the board of directors of LHSA. World without end, amen." So there we have it - proceed at your own risk. Edited November 5, 2021 by Herr Barnack 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Barnack Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share #10 Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) Hey, at least it doesn't have faux snakeskin like one very forgettable Leica limited edition Monochrome did. 🤮 Edited November 6, 2021 by Herr Barnack 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

250swb Posted November 6, 2021 Share #12 Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) I think if you are going to have something so hideous you may as well do some DIY (damage it yourself) like this M4 owner did https://cameraquest.com/lm4ap.htm Edited November 6, 2021 by 250swb 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they ever? Didn’t they do something like that with another line a few years ago? I’m probably wrong but I’m getting cliched images of summer dresses and straw hats for the promotional visuals.

As soon as my Fogg Last Waltz arrives, I'm going to send it off to the M4 painter and have him give the same treatment! 😅 Edited November 6, 2021 by Herr Barnack 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydrxx Posted November 6, 2021 Share #18 Posted November 6, 2021 The cherry blossom theme is sure to appeal to some of the feminine gender...just like the pink handled revolvers being custom made for a lot of women in Colorado. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
