There is no moral point where the price "should be": Leica makes it and sells it at a given price.

In 1997 : 20000 at the most. In 1982, Leica made 36200 R4. In 1996 : 10000 R7 at the most. As you say, "hold your petty whinges to yourself and stick to a lesser breed". Personally, I'm brimming with the new Nikkor 2.8/28-70 on a F (or N)90x.So I keep my M6 and I move on. BTW : the F 90 has an 4 f.p.s. embodied motor for nearly the price of the virtual leica motor drive.With that, Leica is going to hit the deck unless they try to embody a motor in the R8. Dominique
