Advertisement Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 Hi lmans, Take a look here Paul Smith Edition. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
wda Posted July 24, 2022 Share #2 Posted July 24, 2022 Certainly not. I have no interest in named special editions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted July 24, 2022 Share #3 Posted July 24, 2022 I would not buy such a bauble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmans Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted July 24, 2022 I tagree WDA and Viv..... just interesting that Leica thought a market existed as it is more a collectors piece than a camera to use in the field... But, I do like the X2 regardless. jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted July 24, 2022 Share #5 Posted July 24, 2022 I guess investor pressure, and the target market is probably expensive jewelry collectors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so garish and happy "by design", nobody takes it seriously, which is just fine with me. Great conversation starter, though, and you always find it quickly amongst all the other drab black paint gear. Just be careful with the file processing or you may end up with Paul Smith photographs like the one below 🙂 Welcome, dear visitor!

lmans Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share #7 Posted July 26, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I don't shoot color....but I like the 'blue's captured and dispersed throughout. Yes, I can see in some environments where having the 'colored' camera adds to the appeal and actually attracts people who might want their photo taken. I realize that many photographers enjoy some sort of posed photography, whether it is street posed or whatever, so in that sense, yes..... people might more easily allow themselves to pose in front of the Paul Smith edition. In my case, since I use my cameras for 'candid street photography ' with no 'posed element', well....then the Paul Smith is a detriment. So I suppose it just depends ..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted July 26, 2022 Share #8 Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) I have the X2 version and it is a great conversation starter and ideal for street photography - looking down at the orange top plate makes me smile too - strangely it isn't that indiscrete either - perhaps people just don't register it or find it intimidating - they just carry on...

robert_parker Posted July 26, 2022 Share #9 Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) The X2 version is quite capable as night time street camera Welcome, dear visitor!

lmans Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share #10 Posted July 26, 2022 I have found the same night photography to be true too with the X2....a wonderful camera that gets lost in the "Leica M world'.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
