Do you personalize your camera? A custom-made strap, a sticker, or a soft shutter release button? Well, in case you want to give your Leica M a personal touch and add some bling, Bashert Jewelry has announced quite a fancy set of soft shutter release buttons. They are made of sterling silver, and they’ll make your Leica M personalized, shiny and classy. And yes, even more expensive.
The buttons are handcrafted and made from sterling silver 925, and they use ethically sourced, 100% recycled silver and precious metals. They come in six different shapes, and each is exclusive, with the original design. Each button has a certificate of authenticity and comes in limited edition with only 100 pieces per design.
All this sounds exclusive, and it is, considering the price. If you opt for buying one of these, it will cost you $199 during the preorder period. Later, the price will rise to $249. In case this isn’t expensive enough for you, you can order custom-made buttons. The company will make the design you want, and you can choose it to be not only from silver, but from gold or platinum too. It’s not noted how much it would cost, you though, but my guess is that you’ll need a thick wallet.
As for me, I think I’ll stick with a Pink Floyd badge on my camera strap. What about you, would add a dash of bling to Leica M?

Useless overpriced junk. Photography is not about this!!!
I agree, for people that never take the special edition limited run camera out of the silk lined box and cut glass cabinet.
Tired of making all of your friends jealous with your new Leica, but don’t want to get rid of it either? We have the solution!
