[Leica] Old time Leica prices

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (Ted Grant)]

How about this for old time prices? ;-) When I bought my M4 21mm Super 
Angulon for $318.00 and the viewfinder was $90.00 and that's Canadian! ;-)

And if anyone is looking for a viewfinder there's one in the runway of 
Mirabel airport near Montreal. I knocked one off while shooting the airport 
construction while climbing up a huge earth mover. ;-)

I think the viewfinder today is as much as my original lens. yikes!! :-(
