Subject: [Leica] Equipment getting really cheap

Lately, the top end photo gear has been going for a real song.  Hasselblad
lenses that would be snapped up for $2500 are barely selling for $1500.
Large format lenses and camera bodies are going for 50% of a year ago
prices.  Leica M series lenses are soft, forcing prices of certain non
collectible items down 30% from 6 months ago.  A lot can be blamed on
various economic issues, but I believe the move to digital is really giving
the used analog film market a real whooping'.

It is a (too) good time to buy......
