Some of the R lenses that are not in a lot of demand are dropping in
price and supply is good.  But the 35, 50 and 80 Summilux lenses,
particularly the 50 Summilux-R e60, have really gone up in price a
lot.  Demand is very high, and at least with the 35 and 50, there
probably weren't that many made to start with.
