As a looong time Leica user and collector I know too well the thrill of finding an old, historic three digit "A" or a 72 or , or, or - I've had them all. But the idea of Leitz (or whatever their name is today) MAKING a rare camera boarders on insult to our intelligence. As to the lessening of quality in M cameras. Frankly, I don't see that. As great as the M3 is or was, one would be hard put to say that it is better in any meaningful way than the M6. Any comments abut price ought to be viewed in the context of inflation over the years. I really think that the M6 is probably no more expensive than the M3 in 1953. Bowtie
