Talked to one guy with a camera store in Indiana. He had a bunch of Leicas including a Wezlar M4 in mighty fine shape at about $1200. He said that the influx of high end Nikon and Canon pro digital is resulting in the market being flooded with F5 Nikons. The shop in Dexter said, that F5s are a glut on the market with bodies going for less than $1K. He pointed to a showcase filled with Nikon analogs that he can't get rid of. He has a nice, clean M2 for less than $800. The Japs are not buying collector Leicas anymore because their economy, like ours, is in the toilet. Wait a little more and soon they'll be giving Leicas away. Regards Kurt - -- Kurt H.
