Or for $500 you could find a good Rolleiflex TLR and you'd have back
lens and body for the price of a CM. 

People won't give most cameras a second look. A Rollieflex is the
exception. Nothing says relax and smile like a classic TLR. 

Strangers stop and ask, "Is that real?" I can't explain it. Referring to
the response, that is. Although the question itself -- and I've been
asked it many times -- always puzzles me. 

I always want to reply, "no, it's just for show. In my other hand, on
the other hand, is a very real device called a Luna Pro that emits a
powerful death ray."

You can get it for 500 bucks complete now all over the place.

Normal used prices is 500 bucks for a body without a bright screen
200 bucks for a back.
800 for a lens.

New price would be ten times that.
A grand for the lens a couple grand for the camrea and a near grand for
the
back.
