Reminds me of the scene in Goldfinger after Odd Job painted Jill Masterson in gold paint after she slept with Bond.

Or a distinguished gentleman's collection piece.
As mentioned over in the Gold Leica thread, all proceeds from sales go to charity for King's projects. Such noble cause.

Would be nice if you credit the source of your information in your Gold thread answer - or a link to this thread will also do. Much appreciated.

A Modern 'Luxus' I wonder if one will turn up in 'The Antiques Roadshow' in 100 years time. Have to say I prefer the green one - but it's  the 'Croc' I feel sorry for. I suspect  that somewhere in China they'll be banging out copies already 😁

FYI - an early Luxus did turn up on the roadshow a few years ago, and went on to make a lot of money at auction

I like the boxes they come in.

The cameras? Hey; why not. Not my cup of tea but the charities who will benefit from the sales will be delighted to receive funding and the collectors who manage to acquire the sets will be equally happy so a win-win situation for everyone.

Good luck to them all.

Philip.

Where is the link to the thread on recommended gloves, bags etc.?  And the recommended cleaners to remove the gold dust?

Tacky and grotesque. A new low for Leica. Oh and they even dare to hand-sign each piece. 😵‍💫

I'll pass until they release one with a red dot!

Huss, they could have make them less horrible and still give the proceeds to charity.

In the film days, Leica reputation was at the lowest point for me when they made gold Leicas. Now this. How to destroy your reputation again....  I'm seriously alienated by this.

Simply a matter of supply and demand.

Looks like Leica is offering these special edition services as a kind of value-adding service. Anyone can order a special edition, if one pays for it. The final sales price is up to the client.

For instance, the client chooses the package, such as which lens(es) to include.

I'd like a platinum version. Everyone will think it's steel but you will know the truth ... 😌

I don‘t like the golden color for a camera and in case a noble metal would be a must, I would prefer platinum. But maybe better go with black chrome and buy a nice lens instead - or two…

BTW, who will sign the camera? John Doe, ppa? 🤔
