Those black paint jobs look great don't they? I think Leica have used Erwitt's camera on some of their adverts and posters.

That was a great collectible too. -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Shel Belinkoff > Sent: 28 August 2006 07:23 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Re: Digital Leica M8? > > Indeed ... > > Some real "collectible" Leicas: > > Elliott Erwitt's M3: > http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/display/1941882/channel/4 > > Gary Winogrand's last M4: > http://www.cameraquest.com/LeicaM4G.htm > > Jim Marshall's M4: > http://photo.net/bboard/big-image?bboard_upload_id=20693984 > > My Leicas are 40+ years old.
