Each body is hand polished for 45 min?  Gees no wonder why these cameras cost so much.  Interest clip either way.

Have a machine polish it and 1/2 the price and I might buy one.

Assuming this process is more than show, that explains the price of these cameras

Classic!  I love how they taunt you to stick around and continue watching.  Anyone here shoot one of these Leica M's?  A friend of mine has one of these and I must say it's a killer camera.  Not sure I would drop the money on one, but it's sure nice!

I knew it would have to be Leica - I skipped to the short version but if I get around to it, yeah I might watch the whole thing! I could watch somebody make a camera.

I have an M3 double stroke. It was from an in-state shop (not close to where I live to go regularly) and they still had it after reducing the price on a black Friday special, and it was priced what usually just the lens or body go for not both. Felt like a once in a lifetime opportunity. It's compatible with a film rangefinder and digital camera I have so the lens alone was worth it. The prices of what they make now are waaay out of my price range! O to dream... lol

Safe to assume this is the Rolls Royce of cameras?
