I consider the prices a bit steep but again, it's the price
you pay for the rangefinder system. So, yes, I don't mind paying a chunk
of
change for the capabilities a rangefinder system offers but individually
I
think that if it weren't for the realities of economies of scale and the

influence of supply and demand, the prices are a bit unjustified based
just
on performance.

Was it H. L. Mencken who said "what the world needs is a good 5-cent
cigar?" What the world of traditional photography needs is a good
affordable interchangeable-lens rangefinder camera.

Okay, so that doesn't sound as good....
