It is easy to visualize some participants discovering a rare and historically significant Leica at a widows's garage sale and buying it for $25.00 and feeling great about it. You guys remind me of the fools driving up the price of Harleys a few years ago. All the boys with the $30,000 Road Kings looked like fools when they came available in sufficient quantity to drive the price to retail. The lens in question is not important in the historical sense. Its primary value is to prove the continuing inepitude of Leica and their failure to produce what should be an expected part of any reflex system.
