The value of items is eroded when they are replaced, which is less often with Leica stuff than others but 21 asph, 28 summicron, 90 apo asph, M7 and MP have reduced the resale value of the items they replaced. Other Leica stuff is a bit cheaper than over the last few years too. Leica is the only 35mm kit which is the same price here as the US, other makes are much cheaper in the US but medium format dearer. (this is general rather than a hard rule!) Canon's 50 f1 for example is much more expensive (and bigger and heavier) than a Noctilux. Frank > Afterswift@aol.com noted > << That's when I bought my M6 (~ 1987).
