Gerry Walden recommended Foto-Optic in Frankfurt. Now so do I. I am looking
for a new Summilux-M 35. List price just about everywhere in the UK is GBP
1499. A couple of places do it for twenty or thirty quid less. Here's what
Foto-Optic say:

> Thank you for your e-mail and inquiry. The 11874 Summilux-M 35/1,4 black is

> DM 3.960,-/EUR 2.025,-. The lens is brand new including original Leica
> warranty. Quoted price does in-
> clude 16% VAT. The shipping & insurance charges are DM 50,-/EUR 26,-.

That's UKP 1240 including tax & shipping. A saving of around UKP 250, and
not a 'grey market' item either, I don't think (thank you European Union
harmonisation).
