Not cheap unless you qualify for VAT exemption (21% over here). I'm looking for the cheapest source for a M6 TTL too. Until now, my conclusion is that New York is still the best place to buy one. (Tamarkin is a store that sells it for $2,195 ). I was in Hong Kong last week where, despite all the hype, the prices were i) higher than New York as far as I could tell without going into a lot of negotiation and ii) I was'nt sure what I was getting into because the camera was never actually in the shops I went to but would have been delivered to my hotel. Ok , this is not a lot of help if you're only looking within Europe but at least it gives you a feel for the prices. And if you're like me, I just want to know where "the market" is so that, even if I ended up paying too much, at least it's a conscious decision. Patrick
