Subject: M3 prices

Someone on the list had asked the original price of the M3. I looked it 
up, but I lost the original message and forgot who it was who asked.

This is not the 1954 price, but I found these prices for 1958, when the 
M2 was released:

M2:
with 50mm f/2.8 Elmar      KIHOO    $276.00
with 50mm rigid Summmicron KIOOL     345.00

M3:
with 50mm f/2.8 Elmar      IMOLO     330.00
with 50mm rigid Summicron  ISUMO-S   399.00
with 50mm f/1.5 Summarit   ISAIO     414.00

These prices all include Federal Manufacturer's Excise Tax

This if from a sales brochure reprinted in Lager's _Leica Literature_.
