Discontinued products typically drop in value, though such is not a box with Leica lenses — unless they’re sawed in half. Leica students had an event to “make” cutaways of dual Leica lenses as partial of a graduation project.

Now perpetually incompetent to constraint images of their own, all 4 halves were photographed, as well as a tri-focal lens was sole for $995 upon eBay, finish with strange box — which, distinct a contents, appears to be in like-new condition.
