The nut's back with a bit of info that might be of interest: the January 1,
1965 Leica (N.Y.) retail price list shows a list price for the 50/1,4
Summilux of $210., in black $243. A new M3 body was $306., in black $345. A
new M2 with self-timer, $264. And one was usually offered a fake trade-in
that amounted to a 10% discount from list.

Of course, only 3 1/2 years earlier I bought a new Porsche Super 90 coupe at
the factory for US $3,300. A package of Lucky Strike cigarettes cost $0.18.

Good weekend, all.

Seth
