Exactly, oh and if you wanted a nice new Leica M7 film body instead that's only US$2,895.00 or perhaps you'd like to splurge a little for the Special edition M7 and 50/1.4 in Titanium finish for US$10,800.00 (B&H pricing) :-) The initial speculative prices for the Leica M digital body were around the 6k mark from recollection.
