Okay, this is more interesting for collectors.

My friends at Rangefinderforum.com posted this story about the Chinese 
Leica collector market:

  I am curious, is the market strong for the older items? e.g. Mandler 
era lenses and such? And is the demand only really around complete items 
with boxes and packing?

I suppose so, because it would be so much more rare to find, say, a 
complete DR Summicron with box.
