Rarity, not picture taking capability....Why is an old beatup camera like
the Null series Leica cameras which take lousy pictures by today's
standards, are worth so much, if not for rarity?

BTW, I think the designs may not be much if at all different.  There are
probably tolerancing differences in manufacturing.  The newer one,  on
average, I would bet, is a better performer.

cannot understand  why a Hologon for
Contax is worth $2.000 and similar Hologon in M mount never sells under
$5000 ; they are in fact same lens, aren't they?
