of leica world. i was just checking ebay and the limited m6 titanium (which
they say is very hard to find)is selling as a low as 2357!!

My friendly Leica dealer say it is always like that with special
models. First everybody _say_ they want them, then the dealers can't
get them off the shelf, and once they're gone everybody asks for them
and prices go up. I'm not really interested. I have two M6 bodies and
three lenses, cant carry more, don't need more. What I need is divine
inspiration, then finer grained high speed film with excellent
tonality and sharpness. And higher speed fine grain film...
