It might well have been the exchange rate - but the bottom line, of course, is what did we have to pay to get a new M6 back when, and how does that compare to what we will have to pay for a new M7? Exchange rate or not, we were spending US dollars here in the US, and those dollars are worth a bit less today than they were in the mid-90s. 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? ernie 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. B.
