Sounds stupendous I've seen the Leica Black enamel cameras before.
Thank God no M7 my Cardio Vascular system would not be up for anymore Stanley Kubrick.
Instead of a tall dull black backlit obelisk we have a shiny black Leica M6.
More my style.
I never did figure out what those monkeys were doing.
I did mention color schemes as if we worry about such trivial matters but when
the black enamel cameras were out all the lenses were that gorgeous old fashion
better silver or nickel perhaps and looked great against the black enamel.
A Dull black lens against shiny black camera could go either way.
A black enamel collapsable 50 Elmar would be make a nice deal.
I'm guessing by the tone of your typewriter body only will run around $2580 plus
tax and license.
