Leica has been augmenting it's prices in always shorter intervals quite 
shamelessly; no need of the digital M to "justify" the next increase (which 
I would expect for january 06).

OTOH I have noticed a slight declining of many used Leica gear prices on the 
auction site in the past 12 months - more for M6's, pre-asph elmarits & 
summicrons, less for specialties or summi/noctiluxes. 

More and more people going digital, needing money for the new gear (or just 
more and more inheritors dumping the family Leicas?)...
