As if using a Leica doesn’t announce to the world how rich you are, the German company has decided to release this gaudy-looking 24K gold Leica MP camera in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China.
Limited to a run of 60, each hallmarked with a year between 1949 and 2009, the Golden Camera is encased in red calfskin, bears an inscription of Mao Zedong’s favorite slogan, and sports a Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 lens. All these comes in a lovely wooden box.
These golden sets are sold exclusively in mainland China, and retail for 199,900 Chinese Yuan ($29,300) each.

I’m really curious, what is Mao Zedong’s favorite slogan? “Show me the money!!” ?
Uh wow. Now I’ve seen everything (o_O).
Looks pretty gaudy.
