But these collector cameras make Leica some $$$, so it's not all bad. The LHSA has had a few discussions over the years about a less expensive Leica M body. A "newer" M3 or M2 with less framelines, no meter has been though of by many. Of course, now with CV making a M-mount R2, I would hope Leica is thinking of some kind of more affordable M camera. For less than $850, one can now have a 50mm Skopar and a Bessa R2 body. If I was one just getting into rangefinder photography, this would greatly appeal to me. I assume Leica is the one that can install a M6J finder into a older M3?
