Without   fear of contradiction, therefore, I might suggest that if a few hunderd dollars is that important to you, you're probably not in the right forum to express your views. Leica products are not mass-market commodities. If you'd rather drink Fetzer than Ceretto, that's fine, but don't labor under the illusion that the former is the same as the latter,or at leastdon't try to convince us of such a belief. On the other hand, there is an advantage to the Leica buyer over the wine buyer: you can buy Leica used.

piece of Leica new gear or are into getting great deals on cool old stuff.
