    ouch…and i thought the black one looked good…

    Leica glass is second to none. It’s like shooting medium format with a 35mm reel.
    All of you can keep saying it’s hipster and only looks cool, but the truth is these cameras are AMAZING.

    Not the best topic to be on hypebeast.

    @ John. Don’t you think I don’t know that pro-cameras are expensive as fuck? I’m pretty sure a “real” photographer wouldn’t by this shit just because it looks good though. For that kid of money you could by a camera about 15 times better then this. It’s just because its limited and stylish it cost so much. This piece is only for rich-ass hipsters who doesn’t know jack about photography but buys it because it looks good, is limited and says Leica on it.

    @John. I understand that rich people can afford it, but real photographers, especially those who use rangefinder cameras, forever and always will be dedicated to film.

    @John

    Piece of art, fine. But does it take pictures worth $8.5k?

    As the wise man @Sarge once said.

    FRESH AS FUCK

  15. Posted by: John on July 9, 2009 at 3:28 pm

    wow you’re all fucking idiots that obviously know NOTHING about photography!
    @alan – (real serious photographers/people with money can afford it)
    @sarge – just stfu
    @kid strong – you stfu too, ignorant people like you make me sick
    @laserstewe – $8500 is the correct price it’s going for 7000euros people are paying between 8-10k. olympus sucks balls they need to stick to shitty P&S.
    @anon you’re a complete moron for mistaking a work of ART for some piece of SHIT you can find at fucking urban outfitters for $50. learn your shit

    what’s the point of posting things like this when no one can afford it?

  18. Posted by: sarge on July 9, 2009 at 10:42 am

    as hipster as this is…

    THIS IS DOPE, I WOULD JUS WEAR IT ON A STRAP AROUND MA NECK LIKE A CHAIN. REAL TUFF.

  20. Posted by: Laserstewe on July 9, 2009 at 7:05 am

    $8,500!?!?! That’s just crazy! Are you sure you’ve got the price right? Yeah it looks real stylish and slick but you can’t be serious about this. I much rather have the Olympus E-P1; it’s smaller, cooler and probably have at least as good qualities, and it’s under $1000.
