Doesn't look as gross as most, really. But the name! They stole that from me and my M2 "Golden Dragon".

Makes my black and matt chrome '' Three Coronas '' pretend Leicas look positively restrained !
But there is a Grey and Brass + brown covering one out there , that I would love ... so certainly not a purist [ some may think of another description ! ]

I feel sorry for the camera and I pity the fool who will buy it.

P.S.: they forgot to say that it's a good entry into the M system and that it has a special LTM adapter on it.

Nobody's to pity there as they clearly state them as copies.....and the fed simply becomes "The Leica Lietz never made" Intersting why the don't try to make Leica M's out of FED's and Zorki 5/6's.
