Yeah, maybe not in the wrong part of New York.
Originally posted by Sailor I have a couple of LX bodies, both of which I got new as Christmas presents. I remember when the gold model made its appearance - pretty wild to my minimalist eye.
But you couldn't get the crocodile leather in the USA.
Originally posted by Robin I have to agree that it's ummm, somewhat garish
. You could imagine it on a heavy gold chain, around the neck of a gangsta rapper!
Yep, maybe they should make a gold plated K1 gangsta edition?
Originally posted by GRB That is some Pentax; I would want to get fingerprints on it.
What, you want to actually use it?
Originally posted by lesmore49 Beautiful camera the LX...and in gold...with it's attendant gold and alligator hide (? guessing on that)...lens...50 F 1.2....now that is art..to my photographic eye.
It was very shiny!

Originally posted by StiffLegged I really wonder if any of them got used to, er, take photographs?
I suspect that this one has always been in a Pentax (or Ricoh) showroom.

That's a different reason to buy a camera!

According to Wikipedia, there was a
Titanium edition as well.
