Leica SLR\'s worth more than any SLR? That\'s hilarious. Just a quick look at KEH.com shows that 90% or more of Leica SLR\'s are bought for under $200. Only the R9 seems have any serious value and that camera is so awful looking, so fugly that it\'s the Pontiac Aztek of cameras.
Leica SLR lenses, on the other hand, have tremendous holding power of their value.
90% of all SLR\'s are worth under $200. R3/R4/R5\'s are cheap, but still sell for 3-4 times what the Minolta they are based on do.
The ones that hold their value best are high-end Nikon (FM2, FM3a and some F/F2/F3 configurations), Contax (S2/b, Aria, RTSIII) and Leica (R6.2, R8, R9), plus Canon F1\'s and Pentax LX\'s.
