Good morning, folks. I sure that fellow member Tom Abrahamsson can get us all to shake our heads with similar pricing stories for ultra rare Ferraris to compare with the astronomical pricing of the Leica; but... did y'all notice at the end in the notes that the seller requires 20% VAT along with the "winning" bid? How about we just round things off and tack another USD 60,000.00 to the "out-the-door-price".

There is a prototype lens, for the Leica R series cameras... an Apo-Telyt mirror lens ... f5/600mm. A protoype, it's being offered on eBay, at a mere US$229,999. (or, roughly C$289,108!). I think what bothers me, is at that price they still want $40 for shipping! See it, here: http://tinyurl.com/nq2oadk David. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
