Uh ? Vintage Camera market never been that inflated with people paying hundreds for a Mju II and hyping every single camera one after another, from the best to worst. Film is expensive as hell, same for processing. Plus, leica is not making bucks with film but their digital cameras, especially Q3 as stated in the article.

I'm not saying Leica is profiting directly, just that the brand's cameras soak up an inordinate amount of revenue in the used market.

And yes, the used market in general has been in a rising tide lately (especially for perennial niches like rangefinders) but you can still get into very high quality vintage gear for peanuts if you shop around a bit. Hopefully the surge in demand will get more manufacturers looking at making film bodies again so we're not sifting through the dwindling supply of used gear.
