Gentlemen:

A while back there was (because of their past cameras) quite a discussion on
this list about ALPA being back in business...

Yesterday I received an unsolicited brochure on the Alpa 12 6x6cm camera,
and one paragraph quite scares me.

"How much does the Alpa 12 cost?  A great deal, we are sorry to say.
Technological perfection, coupled with small production runs have their
price. We inform genuinely interested prospective buyers personally."  (!)

I am not an "interested prospective buyer" and so would not have the gall to
ask them. But I'm curious particulary since we all know that Leica's don't
come cheaply, and Leica *will* tell us the price! Does anybody know what is
the going rate on the Alpa?
