[Leica] How to get an M8 for $3200...

[richard-lists at imagecraft.com (Richard Man)]

I didn't say the M8 won't be working as well. I am just saying based 
on Leica owner history :-) I myself have seen M6 "dumping" from 
~$2000 down to ~$1200 and M7 "dumping" (~$2400 down to ~$1800) when 
the new models were released.

Things that are "dumped" do seem to stabilize though, and not in a freefall.

Since I just bought in the E3 system, I will watch on the sideline a 
while longer. I do feel itchiness wanting to use the 35/1.4 from time 
to time :-)
