“Asian love for Leica gear continues unabated. A Hong Kong businessman paid the equivalent of nearly 667,000 US-dollars for a golden Leica special edition at a recent auction in Bangkok, Thailand. For another green version of the special edition combo the businessman forked out further 133’000 dollars, for the total sum of 30 million Thai baht. That’s a proud price for two limited Leica editions that commemorate the coronation of the kingdom’s monarch.” (Theme)
