[Leica] Fwd: Sonny/A7R111

[Scott Gregory]

Thanks Sonny and others who commented. Yes that 55 Sony seems to be a great lens. 
And you do wonders with the Micro Nikkor on your AR3 with your flower photos. 

I guess as much as I’d like that body my dilemma here is that the price is $3995.00 Canadian funds compared to about $3198 in the US. 
My local dealer has the Sony’s in stock. 
With taxes the camera comes to approximately $4500 in Canadian funds. 
Is the camera worth that much I guess is what I have to determine? 
On the other hand a new M10 is just short of $10,000 Canadian with the difference in our money to the US these days.
Tough thing is I live an hour from Port Huron Mi and the US Border. Hard to justify the Canadian prices.
