Yes, I for one would dare use it. My thinking is that cameras are made to be used. They don't fare very well if left unused for long periods.

If it was only required to look at then a mock up version with no insides would do just fine.

I'd take the bugger everywhere - wouldn't be able to part myself from it. I get my retirement package in 3 months and I really need some willpower to save my cash for when I'm older as a standard 645 is a far more attractive idea than the wifes plans.

Add they would supply it with a pair of white cotton gloves to handle it makes you wonder how many of these limiteds have siezed up through lack of or even no use.

As long as they dont introduce it in gold plate with crocodile skin leatherette

The Rolleiflex was available in Gold plate, Platimum plate, Jersey Royal Blue, Helmut Newton Special Edition.....

I had one of the Helmut Newton versions once.

Special Editions have always been around.

Hmmm, looks like Pentax may be doing it on the cheap.

Not my cup of tea at all

I'd go for the black one even if they cost the same.

I like the paint very much.... but would never pay extra for it. in fact I'd even be hard pressed to speacial order it and have to wait longer if I was at the store with the standard model in my hand and enough money to buy it.

I'm just not the type to care about aesthetics as much as function...
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Seriously classy kit. Reminds me of the red Hasselblad H4D-40 limited edition.

Nice, although green is my favourite colour, I would take one in any colour if I had the chance

The idea of paying more for a camera because of it's paint job completely baffles me.....I thought the idea was to take pictures with them, not buy them as techno-bling.

This model is available from Ffordes for the bargain price of £10,999...

They might find it difficult to sell when the "standard" kit can be had for around £5k.

The news is nearly 3 years old John. Have you only just discovered it?
