That's not something I would bring on vacation to take snapshots. I wonder where it will spend the rest of its life. Maybe the same person bought this.

Obviously, there is more than it just being a vintage Leica factoring in here. The fact that there is a scant quantity of them in existence raises the value.

This might be an old article. Peter Lik supposedly sold a photograph for quite a bit more.

And remember, "the 1%" own half of the wealth so some of these 1% have way more $ than they need. To some of them this is like buying a coffee is to the rest of us. I doubt if this was purchased by one of "the rest of us". It is just another cup of coffee.

Darn! I just threw one of those out. So battered and messy I felt it had no value. O well, can't win them all. (LOL)
