Collectors Should Be Shot (or at least, they should learn to shoot)

I could just get an M6, too, but I figure that a user M2 + trip to Solms for framelines would still be cheaper than buying an M6.

Stephanie,

I would suspect that Leica Camera, USA should be able to change the rangefinder and the camera would not need to go back to Solms.

Found out recently that DAG can do it...but I won't do it right away. I'll be too busy saving up for lenses.

My black M4 cost about $450 in 1969. It's worth about $3000 today, to a collector, which is about the the value of that $450 corrected for inflation.

Had I invested that money, I would have done much better than broken even.

On the other hand, I've paid for a couple university degrees, and a mortgage, health care, and a small retirement. And we still are ticking along, my Leica and I.

So, you Leica haters, go suck an egg.

which inflation calculator did you use? westegg.com says $2389.48. not *that* bad. then again, i know zilch about investing...
