 You'd be singing a different tune if it was a 6x7 Gold.

TOTALLY not.  If someone gave me one of those, I'd sell it to a wealthy 
collector and buy myself another regular 67 body and a pile of lenses.  
6x7 gold...shame on you for putting that horrible image in my head!

Hmm.. the gold Hasselblad's are a lot more appealing. Actually,
the golden 'Blads are beautiful. The gold LX is pretty ugly, a
camera one would be likely to see in 007 Goldfinger style of
movie. I don't want one, other than for a quick resale. The
LX 2000, on the other hand, would be nice :-)

I saw a gold LX at Camera World of Oregon a few years ago.  It didn't look
