"It might be nice to put together some promotional offerings for those in Photos schools whereby certified students can get M's at prices close to cost." These are not the only young people involved in photography, there are many young freelancers on the breadline. Crunchtime for the young is when they leave the safe halls of education, party time, worktime, eventually a house, a car, a child etc. all these cost.
There is no shortage of people interested in photography or Leica. it spans all ages and they keep on rolling by. Porsche doesn't subsidise young drivers with cheaper prices in order to keep its product alive!
In art school I bought materials and equipment many times before food, no luxuries, went out less, had no car, less holidays away took a extra job to buy a Leica. Even to this day my cameras cost more than my car, it is about choice


better still............ cheap Leicas and lense for all
