Can't wait til they come out with them.
Just think of all the possibilities to skin them, hell, it may even create a new sub-category of photography.... Ikeagraphy.

I believe they'll come in "black/brown", "natural" or "white"

I probably wouldn't buy it. I would, however, buy some nice Ikea shelving to rest my cameras on when I'm not using them.

Funnily my unused cameras and negative files live on a set of their shelves, it was the last thing we bought from there. Most of the rest was just plain shonkey so we only buy proper wood stuff now we can't afford to keep replacing cheep stuff

Can hardly wait to get one. If you wait long enough they will build one.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Ikea calls it - perhaps the Henrik, or Winögranna.

The ultimate trolling for the RF community would be IKEA making the first FF M mount camera under $2k. Out of cardboard

To hell with that.

My last visit to an ikea store resulted in me losing my car in their carpark ... they promised to return it to me if they find it!
