The LX gold pentax
http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/bodies/p...0f1.2_gold.jpg
Stunning. Why didn't they make more of these? I understand that its supposed to be limited in the first place, but still, its so gaudy that its great! |

Ok, lets pretend that its not actually made out of 24 carat gold. And
apparently other 'gold' colored pentaxes exist. |

DAve Aren't they Leica copies? I was very much suprised to see a Leica copy in gold, marked 'Berlin Olymics' or similar with suitable lettering and insignia go on ebay for over £100. I would have put an offer in if it had not gone for over a tenner just because it was such a gaudy item. I can't beleive that it was really worth that much to someone. For only, "over £100", it must not have been a working camera.......But yes, gaudy is beautiful to many people. This is what keeps the souvenir stores in business..... |

Cameraleather.com http://www.cameraleather.com/olympus_om/om1_L_red31.jpg Now /that/ is wonderfully hideous. If only one could get a Hawaiin shirt wearing, black socks up to their knees tourist snapping a photo of their fat ******* kids while on vacation with that for the 'ugly american' shoot-in! Extra points if the wife has a bee-hive hairdo right? Or, for the more modern people, corn-rows? |
