Subject: [Leica] How much does it cost to make an M4-P2 $499? body the buyout

Great point  and my point exactly

 could I live without a meter (yes) without AE (duh) without TTL flash (yes) 

If it offered significat cost savings an M4-2 or M4-P would be fine for me 
for 90% of my photos...

The MP is $2500 because Leica thought they could get $2500 much the same 
hubris that Apple suffered from...

Leica made money on every one of the 65,000 CLs that Minolta made for them...

Well... Will Leica make a Mini Leica _without_ viewfinder (no keyboard
on the Mini Mac) ?

I hope not !

Buy an entire Leica M !
