Of course, as a professional, resale value is not really important; the real return on investment is the money you make selling the photos you make with the camera. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 1/10/14 9:28 PM, "Tina Manley" <images at comporium.net> wrote: >I have never lost money on a Leica by selling it.
