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.
