[Leica]New Nikon SP 2005 Limited Edition Introduced

:-)

I guess there a some real RF freaks in the Nikon board (any Nikon 
Historical Society lads here to confirm that?) otherwise this camera 
wouldn't exist, probably. Why should successful product managers as those 
from Nikon not have a unrational passion?

I'm by far not a collector nor could I afford such a camera, but as you use 
the german term "kindergarten", I tell you in german that this kamera is 
just "GEIL!!!" -  I'd love to shoot with it!
