Then again, he always has two bodies at any given time of the same model. Today that would be about $6,100US. But since it's probably purchased in Canada with its traditional higher Leica prices, I bet that SL2 reflects closer to 8K or 9K in today's dollars. It's not that far from current pricing. s.d.
