I have recently seen a reconditioned Leica 1100 for less than ?1500....I was told a few years back that the high-price of 2nd hand Leica equipment was due to a big demand from eastern european countries unable to afford the prices of new Leica equipment. That might have been the case, but we bought 3 reconditioned 1100 machines (minus batteries) from a Danish company 2 years back that cost us less than ?3000 all in (OK fair enough we didn't have to pay the VAT equivalant so maybe add 20% to find the 'true' cost)....
Thanks for the insight. I'll keep that in mind when I start shopping for equipment
I saw an advert for a 1105 TCRA for ?1700, but was put off when I read "all you need is a 12v battery to get started".
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
