Check it out! I typed up a spreadsheet of historical camera prices. I plugged in a formula for automatically calculating the price adjusted for inflation.

Also, I found a Leica Retail Price list on eBay that included the original price of the Leica M4-P: $1347 in 1983 (or $3,472.81 today).

https://www.ebay.com/itm/305985511628?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=KilX2YQ4Q9C&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=722PP6b4S-y&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY



And I paid $525 for my Canon F-1 in 82 so like I said earlier Leica M was about double. So the Sony A1II is 6498 and the M11 is not quite double. Canon R1 6299 so the M 11 is jsut about twice the price. D6 is what 6496 so Leica M has stayed about the same in relationship with the other camera manufacturers double.
