Duncan,
Body prices may fall but lenses not necessarily. Leica M fit for less than half the price of the Leica. Voigtlander made lenses in Nikon fit and have a seriously good reputation so I guess they can charge that for a 50mm.
Never had an interest in Leica ( pockets way to small for that ) but check out the prices on this Robert White link

In particular you will see some really low prices to create interest. Click on more info and they turn out to be the lens hoods.
