Leica T system announced

Quote:I'm not sure what labour costs in Germany are, but figure around $30 (USD) of labour...  That's probably works out to about $150 at the retail level.  Actually, I don't think the body is really outrageously priced.  But the lenses...$1750 for a kit zoom...
 

If you're not sure what labour costs in Germany are - why are you guessing far too low? I don't think there are much employees at Leica working for that bit of money. Also, what they get paid are not the real working costs for Leica itself as they have machinery, buildings, social costs, taxes and a lot more.

 

Canada or Taiwan are different places.

 

Leica is a costly brand, but everybody expects them to be more expensive than all the others. At least, they survived about 100 years with their prices.  ^_^

 

As long as they can get clients to pay, there's nothing wrong with it.
