7.44200 billion / 250 = twenty-nine million seven hundred sixty-eight 
thousand
7.44200 billion is the population of planet earth. 250 is the amount of  
Edition Zagatos.
So that?s one person out of twenty-nine million seven hundred sixty-eight 
thousand gets to have an Edition Zagato.
Should they happen to have the money. The odds of that too small to see with 
an electron microscope.


Me I don?t somehow seem to be in the category of people with more money than 
I can possibly figure out what to throw at.
There are those people out there. And this is the kind of stuff they throw 
their money at.  Just to make a mockery of people to take photography 
seriously.
Do they love cameras? Please!

(NO it's not about pixel sites it's about tens of thousands of dollars 
you're wearing around your neck indoors in a climate controlled room.

Put me up for one titanium carbon fiber Edition Mark Rabiner digital M. 
I never turn down a freebee.

    Frank,
    
    Can?t say that I like the rather tacky look of the 
    LeitzPark Editions.
    
    But you must admit, as an exercise in styling, the 
    Edition Zagato does look absolutely gorgeous, whatever 
    it costs:-)
    
    Cheers
