And for a time, automobile financing could be had at 1.9% APR. Why not Leica? For that matter, why not Hasselblad? I spent part of Sunday looking over a Zeiss 50 FLE lens for Hasselblad and though it'd be a fine upgrade from my old, chrome lens. $3800+ ! Even after usual discounts and rebates, it was still around $3K! You think there'd be a handy way to reduce the sting of such purchases.
