JLC - So it is not the original black insert uniformly faded to grey, but the JLC supplier made a one-off grey insert for someone at the manufacture? [nt]

I didn't find a nicer way to pay homage to my 2 partners in crime, my 2 faithful and trustful cameras, the Leica D Lux 4 and the D lux 6. I have the D Lux 4 since 2009, and the D Lux 6 since March 2014. So, yes, they are quite old fellows. I just noticed ...

Not forgetting the 22 bottles of wine 🍷 [nt]

I had to celebrate with Class! [nt]

You certainly achieved it 🍷 [nt]

Thanks. [nt]

Which camera will you get for your 200,000th post? [nt]

I have a small idea. ;) [nt]

Beautiful images.

Gracias, amigo. [nt]

Bravo, my friend!

Thank you, my friend. There will be many more, no worries. [nt]

That grey DSA bezel has aged in a gorgeous fashion. Lustworthy keeper, but let me know when you tire of it. I will give it a nice home across the pond! [nt]

This insert has been redone by the official supplier, at the very identical, at the exception of the color. It was originally black. [nt]

Yes, but it is a private collector who asked him. [nt]

Fascinating. I wonder if the supplier had to get approval from JLC. How rare is this? (rhetorical, as I assume never...) [nt]

30 were made, if my memory serves me well. [nt]

Phenomenal shots! Now if only they could tell us their story [nt]

I know the story of my DSA US from the last 25 years. I couldn't get more informations for the time before... [nt]
