Note : Price list was emailed to me by a close friend of mine in UK, a Leica authorized reseller. You may find the same source from the net and the ones i received is the same as posted on the net. Any moderators attempt to slap me with a warning for infringement will be reported for abuse of power.

-----------

 

The S System despite the super steep price, it will be put in good use for portrait shots and royal functions. For instance, President Obama family pictures were taken with a Canon DSLR and a Leica M8.5 rangefinder. Cant wait to try on a demo unit of this finely made DSLR.

 

Do discuss your thoughts about it.
