I do not deny the cost or achievability of the M/Monochrom etc, but all the 
people saying this have a selection of Leica lenses - how many people have 
an idea of the current market price for those lenses? Somebody buying into 
Leica these days has to buy some lenses as well as the body, suddenly $7K 
seems like a bargain ;-)
