You should consider "a la carte" one, because they modified many things, including engravery and screws, I had another calculation bringing to : M7 "à la carte" : chrome, classic logo engravery, MP screaws, Box Veal leather : 4420€ (3949GBP) Leicavit : 899€ (803GBP) Lens : 3350€ (2993 GBP) Total : 8869€ (7745 GBP) Hermès price : 9500€ (8550 GBP) Not such a big difference though ! Hmmmm….

The MP Hermes was one of the nicest special editions ever. I don't understand the hate people have toward the special editions. The Safari and White editions were particularly nice. The Millennium M6 in black paint was far nicer than a black chrome M6. The M6J was beautiful. The MP hammertone was attractive. Why do people hate style? The orange Hermes M7 looks strikingly good.

I had truly hoped that the dark days of perfectly good M cameras being defiled by this tasteless corporate juggernaut of alleged "fashion" had faded into nothing more than a disturbing and forgettable lapse of judgement on Leica's part. Not so - here is a perfectly good M7 that has been ruined by slathering it in the same butt ugly shade of orange Naugahide that a Times Square pimp would package his $100 whores in and priced like one of Eliot Spitzer's mounts. Just when we thought we were at long last rid of the ugliness of Herems, it shows up again. Perhaps it sbould be named the Herpes M7 - and the kit should most certainly include an airsickness bag. OMG not again!

So much for being unobtrusive...I could be less conspicuous behind a Graflex! ;-) That orange color is sweet! So much for being unobtrusive…I could be less conspicuous behind a Graflex! ;-)
