Alan, You forgot the lens. That is extra, right? I live in the present. I don't give a FRA if gasoline was 50 cents a gallon in the past. It is $3.50 NOW. An R9 with a lens and DMR is over $10,000 NOW. I could tell you about buying a brand new M3 with lens for $250 in Germany in 1959, but that has no relevance today.
