The sad thing about these special sets is that they are meant to never be used. Instead, their owners hoard them like gold bars, locked up, and out of sight. Maybe to caress them every so often while wearing white cotton gloves while they show them off to their friends, or whomever they are trying to impress.
I remember when this set came out, a lot of Leica owners said that they wished it had been gold plated instead, so that Leica could use the titanium scheme on a production model. If I found one of these sets in a charity shop, I would most definitely put it to good use.

That's all very nice BUT the seller doesn't mention AT ALL if the shutter is still in good working order. For that reason alone, I WILL HAVE TO PASS this time :-)

How so? Wouldn't one want a company of armed Marines to deliver such valuable merchandise? |

These camera's merely exist for the sole fact that WE (can) become aware of the crazyness of material stuff.
