Leica Black M7 - $4,395
Does camera color really mean that much in today's world? Who cares if it's dual tone black and silver? It's a Leica.

The longer you'd been using black, the more brass showed through. One "advantage", as in rationalization, was that it wouldn't reflect in some subjects. Most of us carried a black focusing cloth to put over our heads, though. Recently some dufus painted his 300D black! Another asked if a hand held meter would make him look more like a "professhional". Yeah, he spelled it wrong! It does, but the down side is, it also makes you feel reeeeally old.
