What? No lens or body caps?

[OzRay]

You'd think for the price of the Leica Titanium, they could afford lens and body caps:

That's OK, apparently it comes in the coolest box ever.

Though, I can not believe that the M9 Ti is this expensive

10715 Leica M9 Limited Edition Titan Set with M9 Body and SUMMILUX-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Titanium Lens, Titanium Lens Hood, Real Leather Carrying System

On the site of the UK dealer, Park Cameras, it actually says

Only £19,800.00

It's about $4000US cheaper here from B&H. Give me your credit card #, I'll pick one up and send it to you. lol

OK thanks ... oh hang on , I'd get hit with VAT and import duty when it arrived ... maybe not ... how much does a kidney go for these days ?

Perhaps we should start some kind of ownership timeshare. Sell shares in it and then each take turns to "own" it for a few months

nah, I'll mark it as a gift and put the value at like $10.

I am so in.

why so expensive you ask?

1. It's a Leica

2. It's made from titanium

3. It's designed by Walter "fancy pants" de'Silva

4. They are only producing 500.

5. It's frickin' cool as hell.

Though the holster case while extremely functional, is a tad fruity.

I know a place you can get Leica body/lens cap for $20.00 each...... eBay :tongue:

I wander if Leica has an eBay account under a DBA name

I want that holster.... Very Cool... Fruity? Hell No!

 

[Narnian]

I think the expectation is you buy a body for each lens ...

It looks a little too much like a murse.

 

[deirdre]

I'll take two.

Oh, wait, what's my credit limit again?

Nevermind.

you mean Purse?

Yeah Maybe...
Biggest concern.... Grab and run thief... it JUST rests in it!

 

[deirdre]

murse = man purse

I'm at a loss of what to say, but I am laughing!

nope, i mean a murse. maybe a satchel.... "hey, there's Skittles in there!"

I'm sure it's extremely well made though.

[OzRay]

Would anyone who actually bought one, ever tke it out of the box, or even open the box?
