I would like to find a good used R 6.2 but never seem to see one advertized or listed in Shutterbug. I can hear Ted in the background - telling me to get the R8. The R8 seems very nice but I'm still hung up on mechanical cameras. Same thing with watches. I got tired of changing batteries all the time and got a mechanical watch. Now when I get it cleaned and serviced, it only costs $400 instead of a $3 battery. Go figure. Where do all the used R 6.2 cameras go? I guess once you buy one, you never part with it. I can imagine world wide how many kids (adult kids) inherit their father's (or mom's) Leica equipment and don't know anything about photography. Boy are my kids going to get a bunch a Leica equipment when I finally go to the big eye doctor office in the sky. In the mean time, I'm buying as many Leica cameras and lenses as I can. This way they'll have a complete set to sell to a collector <bg>. If they subscribe to the LUG, at least they won't get ripped off when they sell.
