Any two modern Leica lenses are coming close to if not higher than the value of an MM. It is only one notoriously fiddly lens first released 37 years ago that is not behaving as wanted, it came back from Solms not fully corrected! john -----Original Message----- So if you were into Leica on a walking the walk and not just talking the talk basis the glass you would most likely have would easily justify a 7 or 8 grand body. The new .9 Noct cost 11 grand usd The APO-Summicron-M 50mm ASPH cost 7 The 21mm f/1.4 Summilux-M Aspherical cost 7 Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21mm f/4 Aspherical cost 6.2 35mm f/1.4 Summilux-M Aspherical Lens cost 5 Zeiss CZ 15mm f/2.8 Distagon T* ZM cost 4.6 Summicron-M 28mm f/2.0 Lens 4.2 Mark Rabiner > > $7,900 is insignificant?
