Maison du Leica is currently asking 135 Euros (almost 1:1 exchange rate with the US dollar) for the lens hood for the Tri-Elmar. Guess who bought one a couple of months ago. It's metal and well made but 135 Euros!!! You can see all the French prices at... http://www.maisonduleica.com/Neuf/LEICA.htm I'm not too sure how up to date this page is as they don't list the M7 and I know the shop is selling the body. But I doubt that the prices shown will have been substantially reduced.

Sure there's the high price of admission for Leica glass (which, IMO, is worth it). These accessory prices are nuts. Leica knows what they can charge and they don't blink. I only tolerate it because of the gorgeous lenses and extraordinary feel of the stuff. I bought a Leica body cap. I wish I'd bought a Hexar cap and bought lunch with the change.
