With the recent surge of black paint Leicas flooding the market, it seems
like a
good time for some enterprising craftsperson to offer a service:
HAVE YOUR BLACK PAINT CAMERA PROFESSIONALLY BRASSED!
BEAUTIFULLY WORN FEATHERED EDGE BRASSED AREAS THAT ARE
BASED ON ACTUAL TIME/USE- BRASSED SPECIMENS.
Four stages (priced accordingly):
1. "weekender": slight brassing on edges. Just enough to say "I am a user".
2. "semi-pro": heavier brassing, attractive, but still "minty".
3. "pro": lots of brassing. . .maybe 30%. But no dents.
4. "magnum": 60% brass, with a few dings and dents. (note: you
must submit a portfolio of your work to qualify for the "magnum").
