>Wow 12%. That's impressive, Godfrey. >I know Pentax is often (you must know the good stuff) good value for money. >I just didn't know Leica was that expensive. > > Leica gear is generally expensive, and the Summilux (= F/1.4) lenses even more so than most other equipment. Leica M stuff also tends to have a rather high price used, thanks to people who just want to have it on their shelf, preferrably in a sealed box. But most Leica stuff doesn't beat the FA50/1.4 in terms of used price relative to new price, I think...
In some respects it would probably be just as fair to compare the lens we are discussing here with the Summicron 50, though, and the price of those isn't *that* much higher, at least not used... - Toralf -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
