The Minilux is the most expensive camera I have ever bought. Because the [expleteve deleted] shutter has packed up! I bought my M6 s/h, and it cost me a LOT less than my EOS 10D - but must be worth at least twice as much now. Still, I can argue that the 10D is cheap as well - I've saved enough in film and processing to pay for it. Nick --- "Peter K." <peterk727@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Cheapest? Wow! That is pretty good Nick.
