Martin, I tried the link and got a picture of a white leica in a blizzard. I'll try again later.

I tried your hyperlink and also tried copying & pasting the URL from your first post. I get a Tripod banner at the top, then a blank white page, and the message, "Done, but with errors on page."
-- Bob Fleischman (RFXMAIL@prodigy.net), January 05, 2001.
Bob I found two much shorter URLs which also go to the same page ! http://urleica.tripod.com/www.urleica.com Hope these work

The reactions are funnier than the link itself.

The gold-plated table-top tripod went too far over the edge for me.

Almost every camera manufacturers, one time or another made gold cameras here is a gold Nikon FA
-- martin tai (martin.tai@capcanada.com), January 07, 2001.
As a matter of fact, the most expensive camera by weight are Minox cameras by far.A titanium Minox TLX weights four oz, at today's bullion price, it worth 4 oz of pure gold, four American Eagle gold bullion coins in value and weight.
Gold plated Leica probably worth only its weight equivalent in silver.

But then, try taking a picture with a piece of gold bullion. Though I don't suppose very many shots, if any, get taken with gold cameras.
-- Bob Fleischman (RFXMAIL@prodigy.net), June 10, 2001.
Well, AFAIK, President Eisenhower used a Gold Minox IIIs, and The Prince Philip uses a gold Minox B ( when seen a lot of use, as it was sent to Minox GmbH for overhaul )
