I like making photos of people on the street in San Francisco neighborhoods. I just became aware there's a new camera on the market and am wondering if you think this would be a good one to consider. Thanks!

Leica's latest limited-edition camera is a gold-plated M10-P kit expected to sell for $50K

This could be one of Leica's most expensive limited-edition kits if they do end up retailing for the prices they're expected to fetch.

Actually, i cancelled my Q2 order and put in an order for one of these. Mostly because it’s so inconspicuous.

Unfortunately these are not available without completing a questionnaire first.

  • Are you a Lawyer?
  • Are you a Doctor?
If you answer is no to both of these, this camera is not for you.

Perfect camera for the tenderloin.

If PhD counts, I’m both!

And I still couldn’t afford it, unless it also transforms into a car.

If you're not walking around calling yourself Dr. Maier, Esq., then you're not taking full advantage of your degrees.

only time i use the Dr is in court. And on twitter, in support of dr. Biden.
 
I'm more than a little steamed and decided to pass learning the camera body is wrapped in yellow crocodile leather rather than gold infused muskrat hides. And the presentation box is lacking a proper hygrometer. There's not even a red dot to tape over.

Feeling crushed.

Honestly, if I spent the time and effort earning a PhD, I'd refer to myself in the 3rd person at all times, and append Learned Master to my name.

I think that’s the real problem - without the red dot, how will anyone ever know you spent a lot of money on that? Conspicuous consumption only works if it’s conspicuous.

Also, the wood box needs some way to attach a strap made of leather from endangered animals.

Way back an attorney friend of mine in Virginia (specialized in drafting hate crimes legislation when he was active) told me that wearing a bow tie in court was frowned upon and deemed pretentious. Is that an east coast thing or true everywhere?
