Ridiculous! It seems Leica is in need of a lot money, according to the = number of limited edition series. I've made a list of limited edition M6 models (not chronological, and probably incomplete): Model Number of units - --------------------------------------- M6 LHSA 200 M6 Platinum 1250 M6G "Elmar" 100 M6 Benelux ? M6 Columbus 200 M6 Rooster 267 M6J 1640 M6 Br=FCckner ? M6 "Ein st=FCck Leica" 996 M6 Brunei ? M6 Foto Royal 102 M6 "Thailand" ? The point of this list? Leica knows it can make huge profits from these limited edition camera's. The price of a limited edition M6 doesn't reflect the effort to make one! By the way, do you think the blue leather is ugly? I bet you've never seen the M6 Foto Royal, it's red. Not a modest red but fire-engine-red! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Regards Bert
