We are not buying any fancy box or special lens with this issue. The biggest attraction will be its black paint finish over brass, just like the original black paint M's. We are looking to doing 300-500 cameras. It will all be very discreet with engraving on top very similar to the black paint M4. Unfortunately, we can't do it based on the classic M6 as planned, as Solms used up most of the cameras I had reserved for the 150 years optical issue. Pricing, as dictated by Solms, will be in the $3000-$3500 range. If one chooses to use the camera or keep it as a collectible will be up to the individual. But my intention is that the camera can be used. Bill Rosauer
