Just look what production numbers do to pricing:

M39 to M adapter                DM  150
Bessa-L body	                DM  300	(if bought together with a 15/25mm lens)
VC-Meter	                DM  400	(a Bessa-L without body, shutter, lens 
mount,                                  film advance)
Nikon FM-10 with 3.5-4.5/35-70	DM  700	(a Bessa-L plus reflex mirror, Nikon 
                                         mount and lens)
Bessa-R body                    DM 1100	(a Bessa-L plus rangefinder)

What is missing in Cosina's current product line?

A VC-Flex, an aftermarket Visoflex, of course with 3.5/65, 2.5/125 and 2.8/180 
lenses to complement the mean 2.5/75!
