These base price assumptions are from others' comments and the increase figures are courtesy of US Dept of Labor Stats (all USD): A 1937 Leica f was $195 equals $2,173 in today's dollars. A 1946 IIIc was $250 equals $2,057 in today's dollars. A 1959 M3 w/ 1.5 Summarit was $470 equals $2,592 in today's dollars. Very consistent pricing!! :-) Cheers, Arturo
