Mark,
I'm more than happy to be back in the Leica fold.  You will really like the
60 Macro.  You will really like it on an SL or an R8.2.  Unless I want small
DOF I tend to use the 60 and the 180 on the reflexes.  Of course, then there
is the 21, and the 28, and the 35, and the Summilux 50, and the 90
Summicron.  The bag just keeps getting heavier and heavier.

AF for macro?  Now that is ROFLOL.  I see so many people trying to shoot
macro on AF.  ZZZZZZt, ZZZT, ZZZZZZT, damn, ZZZZZZZZZZZTZZZZZT, ?!$#%@@,
ZZZZZZZZZT.
@#%$##@@&&@##$$&&/.

As to pricing, I suspect that if you are tight with a dealer you could make
some spectacular deals on R stuff.  I was talking to the owner of a shop
very, very close to the Leica Gallery and was encouraged to make an offer on
some R stuff.  He seemed excited that I also shot R.  Unfortunately, all I
left with was a couple of softies.
