Where can I get one of those hoods!? They're on a 35 lux asph right?

I reckon fluro orange would be a great way to get your camera considered a toy and immune to theft

I've actually not photoshopped them They are Hermès + Leica special editions. THEY might have photoshopped them though.

Whether it's been photoshopped is an interesting question. The straps appear to be in identical position, which strongly suggests it has been photoshopped. But the red lump on the side of the lens looks more orangy on the orange one, suggesting that it is picking up light reflected from the orange areas, and at the top of the lens front element there is an orange reflection of the reverse side of the strap. On the other hand, the reflection on the lens seems indistinct, and the metallic surface of the baseplate of the camera doesn't seem to be reflecting much orange, which we know is on the reverse of the strap. If it's photoshopped, it's a fairly thorough job, but maybe not quite clever enough. My money's on a photoshop job.

That would be the rumored Hermes Edition M7. Or rather, a photoshop'ed representation of how it's supposed to be looking like.

I am actually seriously considering picking one up if they made it in Hermes-orange.

It is probably a special edition. You can get it in black paint as screw mount (!), and some other weird finishes too. I don't know if this lens actually exists as depicted, although other photos do make it likely:

No, I would call the bidder stupid. That's not even in desperate territory - it is plain stupid.
I don't know what to say - either some people have more money than sense or the bidder actually believes the lenses are included.

I don't know why Leica doesn't auction new M cameras when they come out. I bet there are quite a few who would pay well over the RRP. At some point the average auction price would reach the secret RRP at which point Leica could then issue them to dealers at that price. They would maximise profit that way. Canon has a go at this by sliding the RRP after a few months, but Leica could really rake in the cash due to pent up demand and hysterical desire.

You're quite right. Don't mind the drab olive as much, I suppose.

The winning bidder will also take a big bet. The seller has (0) feedback. Might be that $10k isn't that big of a deal for some (un)lucky folks.

That's what surprised me. The seller has no history. To me, being rich is no excuse for being stupid.

Well, it's confirmed, my 5D Mark II has been sold.

I now have to decide whether I should sell my R8, 19mmv2 and 90apo.

As for the M9 on ebay, I'm sure someone noted that a scammer would have faked feedback.

Hey, it's in NZ! Nobody in NZ has an M9. Someone from NZ convince me otherwise.

Willing to bet $10k? I am not.

Takes little efforts to setup a new account on ebay, while simulating feedback takes time and is certainly not that straight forward. I would not touch that camera even at $1k.

There are at least 3 that I know of in NZ. One of them belongs to Birgit Krippner

Speaking of M9's, mine is arriving today. I may be the first (at least actively posting) member of the alt forum to have one? Plenty of Leica, Zeiss and Voigtlander glass to be played with

I have a meeting at the Canon office this afternoon at 5pm, if the camera doesn't arrive before 4:30 no way I can take it with If it does I'll charge the battery in the car and show Canon what they should clone.

I've got to work again tomorrow but I might go out and play this evening with the nokton, and then after work tomorrow again since no work on Friday this week So I'll go nuts then.

Damn this is one pretty camera... I'm loving the look of silver lenses/accessories on the black paint body. The battery is taking an eternity to charge
