The M6 was always expensive compared to the top-of-the-line Nikon and Canon cameras like the F3hp or Canon New F1, but I don't think the difference was as great as the difference between the MP and the last top-line Canon and Nikon film bodies (F6 and EOS 1V), both of which can still be bought new today. -- 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 1/11/14 2:31 AM, "Doug Herr" <wildlightphoto at earthlink.net> wrote: >Nathan Wajsman wrote: > >> >>http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm >> >>Since 1993 (i.e. 20 years ago), the CPI in the US has risen about 60%. >> >>So a $7000 Leica M10 would have cost about $4300 in 1993-dollars.
