In a way, this pair might just be more 'stealthy' than we think.
Especially when the uninitiated dismisses them as merely frivolous toy cameras.

Ugly beyond words

I have this feeling that both pics are shopped.

the hello kitty looks shopped but i've seen images of a pink leica with a hello kitty on it that looked a little more real, can't remember where though

what about this one? Leica M6 Sultan of Negeri Brunei Darussalam Silver jubilee GOLD Edition with gold plated SUMMILUX-M 1:1.4/50mm

or this?

yes that is a real diamond on the top plate. LEICA M6 Platinum Sultan of Brunei 50th Birthday Edition, 1995.

all images taken from http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/Leica/Leica-M6/M6_Platinum-Series/M6Platin_SultanBrunei1996/index.htm

there's a M6 King of Thailand edition etc etc.

They all look decadent and ugly. Why a diamond in the middle of nowhere. That gold is so yellow its scary

agreed, they're hideous monstrosities!!

the platinum one doesnt look too bad. except for the diamond though.

but the dumb thing is, u pay so much to buy these stuff, and u cant use it. just look.

funny that the price is so high, but it serves no practical function.

i bet leica won't dare to replace the red dot with the diamond..
but yeah, collectors' items, not worth using.. i rather buy a banged up m3 for a fraction of their price and use it without worry of brassing/scratches/dents/dings.. lets me enjoy using it than to worry damaging it..

the hello kitty looks cute, though.. i LOL when i saw the hello kitty stamp.. shopped or not, i think it's cute but ugly at the same time.. but the yellow and the Sultan's ones are hideous (except maybe the silver color)..

I'm not sure what to think of this one. Not sure if the shiny plate is damn cool, or gonna be damn hard to maintain.....
