The Mini Mac is mourepricey than another Mac,
with all needed gear !

Buy a *full* Leica M and not a part of it ! It's cheaper !! :)

The MP is $2500 also because it's not made on an automated factory.

Luxuary is, and always be, expansive !

Can we expect Leica M lenses for 30% of the actual price ?
Surely not ?

And if Leica will downgrade to cost 30% of their actual price range ?
Will such Leica gear will found buyers ?

Not sure !

But if Leica can make their actual quality products cheaper I'm nope
against low prices ;))))
