I predict in about 100 years, all our Solms stamped/engraved Leica's will fetch collector premiums.

But will an engraved brass Wetzler M5 be worth anything? Grinning.

Holy Macaroni! Solms heh? What about our Midland or Wetzlar stamped/engraved ones? Junk?!?! 😱

What's the market going to be for my Pet Rock? Oh, I'll be dead then. Never mind.

I think you are absolutely right. I would just prefer not to have to wait quite that long to collect on it. 😉

The current plant in Solms is a barracks-like contruction... After seeing the pictures of the new buildings something is telling me that the $7000 cameras can be part of history soon.. ($$$$$!!!)

More angels fit on an M9 top plate than on an anniversary M4-P top plate (Canada). So I've got that going for me.

Will I care in 100 years?

So what? ... a group of loonys are going to bury them all so they can be dug up in the future? Someone will be busy CLA'ing that lot ... if they can remember where they buried them! 😀

 

[folville]

I hope they build the factory faster than they build lenses. 😉

[Contarama]

They are all already collectibles aren't they?

 

[jarski]

computer generated pictures of new buildings look pretty bad to me. strait from -90's. hope they look better in real life.

Darn, I knew I shouldn't have traded mine in to the dealer for the Kodak Easyshare Max Z990.

What's with the shovels made in England?

One of those shovels appears to be a *****!

Not as much as a Nikon rangefinder that says "Made in Occupied Japan". You know those Nikons are far better than Leicas, even when it comes to being collectible. 😎

However, in about 200 years they will be less collectable and valuable than any point and shoot compact - museums will doubtlessly need a display piece of the latter, and while a fair number of Leicas will have survived, through being in collection storage for centuries, almost every point-and-shoot that did not vanish in the recycling grinder will have succumbed to plastics rot...
