Hi,
a mere bagatelle! At a Leica specialists in London last year there was
a Leica formerly owned by Secchiarolo (sp?) the 'original paparazzo'.
It was on sale for, iirc, GBP£60,000- (sixty thousand). That's close
to one hundred thousand US dollars. For one camera.
It was on the store's website for a while, but the store and the
website have now closed following the death of the owner.
Imagine the value to collectors that HCB's Leicas must have.
Especially the one that Marilyn Monroe 'blessed' :o)
