It only meters in 1% gray
 
I thought the price of gold has gone down?
 
2000 are stated to have been made.

I wonder who bought those. I mean I know of people buying special edition cameras, but lightmeters?
 
There is no way I would buy a piece of jewelry disguised as a camera (or a light meter).
 
Only 2000 made! That makes it about as rare as a "limited edition" digital pigment print.
 
It looks as if it had been left in a small room full of heavy smokers for about a year.
 
Isn't everything on the bay "very rare" and if it doesn't work it must be "vintage"!
 
Gold has definitely lost its shine, down around 15% in a month and still falling. He can't be a futures trader, obviously...
This thing is only plated; if it were real 18k you'd be paying thousands for it and the weight ... .
I am not taken in by his florid spiel. Sounds just the type to make a deal that sounds too good to be true.
 
If Tony Montana was a photographer, this is the meter I imagine he'd use.
 
Na. It's a meter for Donald Trump. All show and no go. He can meter is bad comb over.
 
It needs a gold chain, not the cheap black nylon lanyard. Just the right amount of bling for a hairy chest.
 
Bling, n. Those shiny bits which the human magpie (homo ignoramus, v. vulgaris) uses to adorn it's person and decorate it's nest.
