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. cheers Jack McLain Tucson, AZ http://jackmclain-photography.dotcommunity.net - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
