Yes Marc, however that possibility would be mentioned in the special
edition features, it's a significant sales point as the options to
choose colors, cover, etc., it's not the case for the GX "Japan
edition". In the camera description Prochnow writes: "Camera number:
Golden plate under the crank: 001/130 to 130/130", and the number of
cameras produced were 130 according the same description.
