Just sell your car and F5 and take out a small loan you will be all set ;-)
Those prices are ludicrous. I can buy a Contax 645 with zeiss lenses for the
price of those two and get a neg nearly 3 times as large.  Geeeezzz.  I hope
Leica wakes up one day and realizes their prices are insane.

Well for that person asking for lower lens prices, the Summicron used to
sell for $7,000.00
