I agree that $2500US is ridiculously high. Heck that is close to (at 
some shops more than) a Noctilux! However, as with all new Leica 
introductions, the price will come down*. The early bird gets the 
parasitic worms to massacre an old saying.

Yesterday I spent the whole day with the Sum-A hanging off my shoulder. 
My back is grateful for the weight difference and not once did I have 
to back up. Which makes my inner photographer happy.

* Especially if they don't get the digital M out soon and working 
properly right out of the box.
