[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]LUGers Have any of you seen the picture of the Hermes Leica M7 as shown on Photo-Net Leica? I suspect that it is a Photoshop construct, since no one on the LUG has made mention of it. Wadda ya think? Jerry>> Nope, not a construct, its real. I posted it and I got it from a disk handed to me by my Leica rep. It isn't an M7 though...it is an MP I believe. It will be out in October and will cost $8500 (OUCH!!!) It is nice looking though...and they will only make 500. Not saying I'm for or against it, but I think it is smart and that they will sell out. If Hermes can get $5k for a purse then why not $8k for a camera? If it helps keep Leica afloat it does no harm. Contrary to what I see posted all the time, I have never had a problem selling out of commemorative edition Leicas. The good, bad or ugly...but maybe it is just me? It isn't really my specialty so I don't buy that many. There will also be a black paint 90mmf2.0 APO for about $2300. I already have at least twenty emails telling me they want this lens and it isn't even out, ...so I guess it was a good idea! cheers, Rich www.photovillage.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
