Take a long >hard look at its seemingly endless series of commemoratives as well as >the M6J. For me, the M6-J is not only a "commemoratives" like the others. It is really a different camera (1.640 ex.), with different parts (top cover , viewfinder, etc..) a original lense (except the glasses, all the parts are different from the regular elmar). All that justify the price(in a way). This is not the case of the others. I don't like those, but if it is the condition for Leica to survive, i don't care because everybody is free to buy them ore not. By the way it seems that the prototype of a Summicron 35 Asph. is on test at Solms.(Same size as this actual one)!!!!
