Subject: RE: [Leica] what 6x9 cm folding camera to buy?

If you want a cheap 6x9cm look at the Kodak Medalist II.
It has a lens which will make other optics look sick but it is not small.
They run about $150-200 but the problem is the camera uses 620 film.
It costs $250 to covert to 120 bringing it to a $500 investment, 
but that 100mm Ektar lens is unbelievable even compared to todays optics.

A box for one would probably get $250!!!

So? That's for a box in mint condition, isn't it? ;-)
