The $8,000 price for the body is but a cheap investment. You just have to keep the camera for 90 years. Yesterday, a retro Leica sold for $2.78 million.

P.S. If you follow that link, check out some of the other photography stuff that's up for auction. If you've got many thousands of dollars, there are a number of original, signed Karsh portraits available. If you've got tens of thousands of dollars lying around, you could bid on one of the signed Ansel Adams prints.
