Subject: [Leica] an interesting comparison of S2

What cost 30k a car? A boat? And extra bathroom - a cruise around the world?
It not like 3ok has never existed in the world in anyone's bank account to
obtain something it depends on what somebody has established a priority to
get. In my case my first priority is photography. Its also my second. I'm
sued to when I  stared out my food money going to film.
I don't need a car anymore I've sold mine I take public transportation now
and rent cars.
Lots of people here in this list I suspect have 30k. They just have other
things they'd rather spend it on.
Me if I had that kind of money on hand I'd get the S2 system started with a
camera and a lens.

People can afford what they care to "afford".
If you wanted a high end digital medium format camera enough you'd sell your
house and get one.
Mainly the phrase "I can't afford it "  is meaningless.
If you sat out all day with a cup filled with pencils NOT coming home with
an S2 the next day you're off the hook.

By the way an S2 at B&H cost $22,995.00 and a normal lens is $4,995.00.
So I don't know where 40 k comes from.  A uv filter?
