B. D.  When I got my Classic M6 in 1996 it was about $2400 or so.  Several
years later they were cheaper and I was told that this had to do with the
exchange rate.  Any truth to this or was there actually a lessening of
prices in Solms?

BTW - Rob Schneider = sometimes of this list - tells me that he was perusing
an Adorama catalogue from about 1994 and, lo and behold!, the M6 listed for
$2400! So that means that in today's dollars it was over $2500 - and it's
then hardly a surprise that the M7 would come in in that neigbhorhood - or
higher.
