i would like to swap my black 1.4/35 summilux about five months old, hardly used, like new condition with full papers, box, pouch, sunshade (just how you would get it when you buy it new) with 1 1/2 year of uk passport for a mamiya RZ67 pro2 with 110 lens and back. the retail prices are similar, but we could discuss matters...

BTW: i live in london

Thank you for very jarringly putting this whole Leica thing in perspective for me.

A new top-of-line Ducati or BMW motorcycle costs about as much as a new pickup truck--they serve very different purposes. I'm not sure what perspective is gained by comparing the prices of two very-different things.

Hello Stefan and Mike. It is a question of horses for courses ..one evening while out with my wife a young man came up and ogled over the simplicity of the little M with 'Lux. He was a medium format fashion photographer who was obliged to use the larger format for his profession .Regards.
