Well, in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the People&#8217;s Republic of China, the camera company has decided to go a bit crazy and <strike>punish<\/strike> reward us with this 24 carat gold-plated shooter. 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&#8217;s favorite slogan, and sports a Summilux-M 50mm f\/1.4 lens. To max out the gaudiness, you also get a wooden box to store your equipment in. Sold exclusively in mainland China, these will cost 199,900 Chinese Yuan ($29,300) each, though Leica is also bringing out limited edition M8.2 and D-Lux 4 models &#8212; sans any precious metals &#8212; for the more budget-conscious patriots out there.
