Yeah, I think they went a little too far for my taste on that one. I think they could have made it just as "exotic" yet be a camera I'd actually want to shoot outdoors.

**Aristophanes** · 07-15-2010, 05:21 PM

How much for just the cheap OEM case?

Crazy Fedya · 07-17-2010, 05:39 AM

You would think that with a price of 2500 Euros they would include free shipping.

Ben_Edict · 07-17-2010, 07:43 AM

In the 1970s and 80s these Gold Editions were fairly common. You'll find golden Contaxes and ofcourse Leicas (not as cheap as the LX, though) and others. Some shops even offered a service to gold plate any camera and lens.

I find the Titanium LX2000 much more attractive, though.: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/de/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/96868-limit...tml#post991808

Yes agreed titanium looks much better and you may actually want to take it outside and use it. The gold LX is strictly for a display cabinet.

That's strange I clicked on "quick reply" in the above message and it was translated into German with Bens quote???

Yes, I am sorry. I don't know why. But I searched for the LX2000 via Google. And included the unwanted translation service, when I found the post in our won forum. I have set the forum language to english, but they recognize, that I am located in Germany and thus change parameters - and I have no clue how to prevent that.

Very strange (the "quick reply" not the gold camera... well...). I know Ben's link in his quote is a german-language one (has ../forums/de/.. in it), so if you click it even Blue from Florida writes fairly fluently in German! (No idea, though, since maybe Blue is a polyglot!)

I didn't notice the …/de/… part, but my language selection here in the forum is English, not German. I really have no idea whether Google or whether the forum decides on another language. I hate Google's tools
