It’s no secret that Leica cameras are expensive. But how can you make it look even more expensive? Well, the new TTartisan 35mm f/1.4 lens is a golden opportunity to add bling to your Leica. And I mean “golden” quite literally, as this lens is 24k gold-plated. To make it even more exclusive, only 200 pieces are available to order worldwide.

If you’re a recent DJI Phantom 4 owner that was upset by the price drop after the announcement of the Mavic Pro, then you’re going to love this one. British drone retailer Drones Direct are offering a 24 carat gold plated DJI Phantom 4 for sale. This too, has had its price reduced, dropping from £21,999 (around $27k) to a more reasonable £19,999 (about $24.5k).

I know that you just grabbed that $500 Leica pen and am feeling quite luxurious, but considering what’s out there, you are still pretty low on the being excessively extravagant ladder.

Brikk Designs house which is notorious for covering anything in gold (dog harness anyone?), released a gold covered Nikon DF called the LUX Nikon Kit. It is a Nikon DF Camera along with a Nikkor 14-24 F/2.8 lens finished in pure 24k gold. But the gold just did not make the Nikon luxurious enough so sections of the camera are adorned in stingray leather.
