This camera will not be marketed in your part of the world - it is a local release. You can't buy one from your local dealer any way. I chose this finish not because of its association with wars etc. I looked at my own Leica collection and picked a colour that Leica used to offer other than chrome and black paint: olive green caught my attention first. The other finish I had also considered was hammertone grey. Do you have any suggestions for other paint finishes? Bests, Joseph
