Oh yeah. . . I suspected as much. Leica prices are always out of line, even if their cameras are not built by them anymore! I've got a small fund building up that is my camera and equipment fund. A separate checking account, sort of like a savings account. If I sell a camera, or get some extra money not slated for something specific, it goes into the separate account. > Whatever. They'll both be out of my price league anyway, so it's all quite > abstract to me. <g> As I'm not in the market for such a camera, me too! <g> > I'm having enough trouble scraping together enough cash to get my Leica out > of the shop for a fairly cheap repair. Hopefully this pay period... Which Leica is it? I may have read it before, but disremember. . . > I still like film - haven't figured that out yet - still working on it... > <vbg> Hah! I do still have a Leica film camera, a C-1. . . I'm going to be selling that one too. It's just about brand new. I've had it for almost a year, but only taken it on one photographic trip. Results okay, but not Leica quality! I bought it thinking it might be a real Leica. It isn't. the body has been built by Matsushita and Panasonic. All the settings are electronic, and you have to view their settings in a very small window in the top plate, approximately 1/2" x 3/4", and with my old eyes, it's a strain seeing those small letters and numbers. Automatic everything. Now, if it were a CL-1, I might keep it! <g> But it isn't. Anyhow, I expect it to sell for roughly half of what I'm trying to sell my LX for. Sure hope I get some bites on that LX. Nothing yet. . . > cheers, > frank Take care of yourself. Winter's barely begun up there! <g> keith
