Back in early September, the iconic professional studio Atelier Brikk announced the release of the ultra-ordinary version of the familiar Nikon DF. No one expected that under the words “unusual” the representatives of the atelier mean not another series of improvements or a slight change in the body. Instead of walking the same path for the tenth time, the Brikk technicians presented something really new.
The Brikk Lux Nikon DF kit is addressed, it seems, to the very professionals who are truly proud of their technical equipment. Not to notice the camera made of real gold will be difficult even in the densest crowd of photographers. Both the body and the camera lens are covered with 24 carat gold. The thickness of the coating is 5 microns - to pass the camera scrap and earn money in this way just will not work. By the way, obktiv guys from Brikk took the most common, whale AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f / 2.8G ED. Interestingly, back in 1977, a similar version of the camera was released by Nikon themselves. At that moment, the Nikon FM camera became the leader in sales, albeit very briefly. Having learned that the manufacturer is not going to repeat the golden classics, the head of Brikk took over this role.
Cyrus Blacksmith, the CEO of Brikk, has already told the press that he has several times turned to the company’s management in an attempt to work together. However, Nikon did not plan to reissue the legendary camera.
Brikk Lux Nikon DF comes in a gold case, also developed by the company's technicians. The press release says that the briefcase will provide the camera with the highest level of security. It sounds somewhat doubtful, given the maximum attention that Zero Haliburton case holder will definitely reward.
In total, 77 Brikk Lux Nikon DF sets will be on sale. Each of them costs exactly $ 41.395. How fair is this amount - you decide.
