Ditto the Ti lenses? I am a user, not a collector, and therefore am reluctant to buy the Ti model unless it has at least some practical advantages over the chrome and black (both of which I own). At the same time, I am aware that, since presumably fewer Ti models were made than the others, the used value may hold up, and perhaps even appreciate. This is not the main reason I buy a camera (or, for that matter, a car), but it is a relevant consideration. Any thoughts? Finally -- I see from Don Bledsoe's message that he obtained production figures for the M-6 0.85 from Leica. Has Leica divulged any other production figures for discontinued recennt models of cameras or lenses? If so, they would be very interesting to contemplate as we try to judge fair prices on the used market. Jack
