Hello Bill,

The 50 mm is _my_ focal length on the M. I only talked about "people 
who think ...".

M6 body list price ATS 33.990,- (1 US$ changes to approx. 10 ATS), M6 
body lowest price in last months (special special price) ATS 
21.990,-, M& body street price at th3e time approx. ATS 24 - 
25.000,-.

All those prices include 20% sales tax (you'll get a refund if you 
export the goods and _use the right forms in the correct way_).

No idea about R7 prices at the moment; I can check if you want ...
