Leica have always been at the Olympics, Winter & Summer where they had new equipment for testing, loaning and repair services available. They even shipped a 400 2.8 to Auckland New Zealand from Germany at no charge for me to use during the 1990 Commonwealth Games, so they do look after the Leica pros in their midst. However, they do it quietly and directly, so that's why many folks don't know they're at the international events other than the pros attending. Not like Canon and Nikon who use their services as part of the advertising plan for new buyers. ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
