Probably more than any digital, no matter how fancy, will ever be, I bet!

I have a'58 D-18....broke as I was, I'm glad I spent the money when I did in 1976. Even in 1966 the Martins sounded pretty damn good. What's disappointing is that a new Digilux 2 is worth almost 2x what my M6 is worth. But we'll see in another 10 years...I'm betting the M holds it's value better :) What's even more disappointing about the Digilux 2 is the guts. A big CCD / CMOS chip like the Canon D-SLR's would have really been something. Maybe next time. - -=- Quicny On 12/2/03 9:00 PM, "Jon" <jon.stanton@comcast.net> wrote: > "Okey, dokey. It's $1850.00.
