That camera was purchased at 1.320.000 EUR on the 19th auction last year...
http://www.westlicht-auction.com/index.p...2&_ssl=off The price is doubled in one year... quite an investment <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />...

Wow with such camera even I can make nice pictures :-)
What I really wonder me is the price of new Leica-M Monochrom – nice looking retro camera, modern BW film-rol and 7500 Euro.

I wonder what makes a difference of one million euros... Can it be the lens cover ? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />...

[/quote] Well Miro, if you find the Leica-M Monochrom too pricy, then check the "Hermes" version <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />... http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/05/10/...der-camera Serkan

Thanks for the info Serkisan.
I will definitely take your suggestion my next camera buy :-) I’m sure that quality of my photographs will be improved dramatically, even more I will never miss the shoot, I will make such dramatical BW prints like never before. PS: With limited edition Leica proofs once again that they are targeting the collectors group only.

Sometimes I think perhaps Leica should learn the now Zeiss to make lenses only (maybe some film cameras also) <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
