Wow $60k USD I would not even pay $60k in Peso's. The dcescription says 5 in existence that would acount for about $55k USD I would think.

For those collectors with more money than they will ever need - I can see it going. $60K be like $60.00 to rest of us middle class folks.....

Aren't the Epson RD1s and Contax N/G series AF?

By the way, have you seen the nice Oly 35RC in the marketplace? Sweet pocket cam (and I'm not even selling the thing )

Edit: Yes you did, just went there and saw your post
