Go > figure on that one ! So I think it is fair to say that the titanium-coated M6s, will retain their value better than the rest of the range. I think the big discounts ( where did you hear about the discount of 1000 DEM offered on all M and R lenses? ) reflect the impact of digital photography as well as the economy. By the way - I_m interested in the M6 only because of my interest in photographing parrots in the rainforests of South America. I wonder if 135mm is enough telephoto - is there nothing more powerful from a third party? - perhaps I would be better off with a Hassie, except for the size and possibly the build quality of the Hassie body which is not, I've heard, in the same league as the M6. frank - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
