C'mon, big spenders, imagine the POTN bragging rights when you start your own, exclusive, lens archive for your solid gold 50mm f/2 Summicron. Oh, you also get a 35 f/1.4 for that price, so really, not so bad.

Only cuz housekeeping complains that too many bath robes have gone missing.

What? No film included??

Wow... gold is a really malleable metal. I think that camera will require calibration every few weeks.

Wouldn't it be nicer if you got it the first night so you could take pictures during your visit?

Kinda like getting park passes to Disney while boarding your flight home.

Geez, you would think that for $50k it would at least come with a strap.

Not that I would turn it down if i was invited (you listening Sultan...) but gold isnt known for being one of the lightest metals either. I know its going to cost a packet but what is it going to weigh...

Does anone have pics taken with this lens?

I sent mine in to fix the front-focusing

The last time I had a manual camera that was front-focusing, turned out it was my eyeballs...wear glasses now - Pentax lenses lol

If you can't swing the $50K for the solid gold version from Saudi royalty, His Majesty the King of Thailand has an $8,000 gold-plated version you might be interested in (includes M6!)

That will go quickly. If I had money to blow, I would get it. Very cool.
