Yeah, but what's a 1966 Martin worth today ? I have a'58 D-18....broke as I
was, I'm glad I spent the money when I did in 1976. Even in 1966 the Martins
sounded pretty damn good.

What's disappointing is that a new Digilux 2 is worth almost 2x what my M6
is worth. But we'll see in another 10 years...I'm betting the M holds it's
value better :)

What's even more disappointing about the Digilux 2 is the guts. A big CCD /
CMOS chip like the Canon D-SLR's would have really been something. Maybe
next time.
