If I could get my hands on the LEGO Leica M8 replica, I would not only own one of the most recognizable cameras in the world, but I would also stand apart from the crowd as well. Of course, the quality wouldn't match a real Leica M8.
Created by MOCPages user Schfio Factory, the LEGO Leica M8 was fashioned from a $50 LEGO camera kit. A perfect gift for a child aspiring to be a photographer, it might not hold up for those who are really serious about photography.
