I mean, heck, that's almost the cost of a complete Leica system kit... :) Seriously, though, I was referring more to the systems that are in the approachable price category that we normal people can afford. $1500-2500 is itself a fairly hefty price tag for a piece of a computer system that needs a fairly high end bias to be useful. Makes a good used darkroom setup for $300 or so a real bargain. Godfrey
