Takahashi Leica: A unique camera in the hands of Bellamy Hunt

It’s a pity Tokyo isn’t just round the corner for me. If it were I could spend several happy days ferreting among the treasure’s at Bellamy Hunt’s gaff. With an unerring nose for the novel, Bellamy has just unearthed this unique camera, a Takahashi Leica M4. All you need to is note the amazing paint job (which even extends to the shutter release button) and marvel at the precision of the inlaid lettering. The rest you can learn from Japan Camera Hunter where Bellamy has (read HAD) this beauty on sale for $4,250. I was strongly tempted but it must have been snaffled while I was writing this little article. Sigh!
