Sorry not to have more info, I intend going to this market on sunday morning
next, to check myself. A friend saw the camera last week and was attracted by
the name : Leica. 
 My question must be seen as a preparation before buying.(or not)
It is also possible that it is a real Leica, but than the price would be very
low, or not?
thanks , greetings   henk
