That year, Leica offered a series of miniature, brass-bodied, gold-plated Leica replicas, including a Ur-Leica, a Leica I, a IIIf, a 250-exposure Leica 250-R, and an M3. Prices were between $1,740 and $2,115. It would be interesting to know if they have appreciated in value after starting at that high an altitude. By the way, Leica prices in 1994 weren't all that different from what they are now. M6 - $2,495 21/2.8 - $1,999 35/2 - $1,295 50/1.0 - $2,645 50/2 - $795 75/1.4 - $2,495 R6 - $1,899 R6.2 - $2,495 19/2.8 - $2,695 35/2 - $1,645 60/2.8 - $1,695 100/4 - $1,745 70-210/4 - $1,995 Just a sample from the 47th Street Photo ad.
