I really don't see how an electronic M camera could be cheaper. If you
consider that the new camera would have loads of R& D at 1998 prices versus
early 1980's for the M6. I suppose if you had it made "off shore" you could
reduce the cost of manufacture. Would the M customer want a non-German M
camera?

I was told a couple of years ago that if the CL was manufactured today that
it would cost more than the M6! I would venture to say that a new electronic
camera would cost about the same as the M6.
