Subject: [Leica] Limited Edition Lens Hood: P/N 12466

For 28mm F2 Summicron.....   At Meister Camera, only 350 EUROS... For the
hood alone.

I guess the limited edition Hermes leather wrapped versions, $50 battery
covers with slots, etc   were insufficient to make a profit on....

It is metal, if that makes a difference to you....

IMO, an unjustifiable price.

Ditto the battery cover, even without the slot.

It was said that to buy all the spare parts to put together a US made car,
would cost 3x the price of the assembled production car.....

I wonder what the Leica factor would be?
