The market for M-Series Leica and Contax SLR is stronger, and the only modern 35mm equipment I buy anymore. Now, the question is "Why?" G-Series Contax have remarkable lenses, R-Series Leica cameras are notable for durability (with a few exceptions). Why are the Leica rangefinders and the Contax SLR cameras doing well, when Leica SLR cameras and Contax rangefinders are not? Kevin M. Bell www.camera-collectors.com 1-877-977-5091
