[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm sitting here with the final version of the LHSA black paint camera at my side. It is drop dead gorgeous! I will be taking photos of it in the next few days for the brochure to be sent out announcing it to membership. It's gloss black finish is absolutely beautiful, with the Leica script on the top plate, no "Leica M6" engraving on the front, BLACK "Leica dot," and no strap lug protectors. On the back, a discrete LHSA logo above the "Special Edition" legend. It meets my design brief that from 5 feet away, it must look like a black paint M4. The only giveaway is the TTL's larger shutter speed dial and satin chrome acces. shoe. My early 60's version 50 Summilux suits it perfectly. Like I said, drop dead gorgeous! I'll keep you all posted.
