[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Several people have contributed to this group, speculating as to whether the secondhand values of M6s will rise or fall. My view, for what it's worth, is that the M6 may well be the last of the all-mechanical Leica rangefinders and, as such, could be the one that collectors one day (I mean several years hence) will covet. Looking at the sales success of the Contax G1 (which I detest, having made the mistake of owning one, albeit briefly, when they first came out) I think that Leica will be tempted to build something which moves some way towards that spec and construction method. It will probably sell well, but purists will hate it. Anyone hear any rumours which prove/disprove this hypothesis?
