The offers go from DM 3.200 to DM 3.500; the "regular" price from the pricelist was DM 4.448. I think all dealers want to clean up their stores for the new TTL version and Leica makes special offers to their dealers to get better results to the end of fiscal year to calm the shareholders. The R8 and R6.2 prices are also falling down. But there is an additional effect in order to the general bad business of the entire photo branch for high priced products. Nikon´s F5 price has also been falled from about DM 4.500 wide under DM 4.000. And that´s the prices regular offered from the dealers. If you go and want to buy a M6-.72 or a R8 you can get additional 10-12% to this prices. If you are looking for a serious Leica dealer in cologne, go to Foto Gregor. I guess Carsten knows a few more in addition. regards Hans-Ferdinand HFHUBER@t-online.de Nathan Wajsman schrieb: > Carsten, > > Which Cologne dealer?
