Ted,
>>> If you would like a look at the price in Canadian dollars, the same =
item is
approximately, $11,223.00!!!!  How's that grab you? :)<<<
We down under have taken a 25% slide in our dollar so the thing adds up to =
$12,500. No wonder even a nutter like me has been slow to enter the R8 =
world ;-) Off to Japan soon however!!
Cheers
Alastair
PS. Not a bad time for you guys and gals to visit Oz, the second hand =
Leica market would look pretty damn cheap ;-)

Alastair.
