I don't think this has much of anything to do with the stock market drop
- - it's mostly the effect of the intro of the M7 and now the MP, and
digital.

Sounds good to me! I'm in the market for a nice M3 or M4 user. Maybe
I'll luck out!

Other than collector/investors taking a bath, what's the downside of
this trend?  None I can see for folks that wish to buy nice (film) gear
to shoot pictures with.

With the stock market taking a dive, it is to be expected that luxury
stuff follows suit; and add the digital thing.... well

Watching Leica prices drop is more fun than watching my 401k drop.
