Just curious if any of the finance wizards in the LUG can calculate the real 
cost of a Leica camera and lenses (say best in class and excluding the 
Noctilux) on today's dollars vs 15 or 20 years ago. 

My gut tells me Leicas have always been exorbitantly expensive. Current LUG 
members are aging boomers who must be, of necessity, more conservative with 
their spending. 

Frank? Jayanand? Others? Anyone have MSRP over the years and annual real 
inflation numbers?
Best,
Bob
