The position in the UK is that they have no idea when they are going to receive more stock and the price is £595 (approximately $950). Germany supplied by return (the package took 2 days to get here) in a very courteous manner at a price of £395 ($630). This included all taxes, postage and insurance. A massive saving of £200 ($320) is inexplicable by currency fluctuations etc. I would recommend anyone to try Jurgen Uhl at Foto-Hobby for fully guaranteed (i.e. not 'grey') Leica items. Thanks to the LUGer (?Pascal or Nathan) who recommended them. Regards Gerry
