Subject: [Leica] LHSA M6 Question/Complaint

My check was cashed on 5/19 for a .85 model...I have sent numerous 
emails to the parties at LHSA who are handling this as to when I can 
expect delivery, with no answer.

I'm frustrated, as about two days after I sent the check, I could 
have bought one from any Leica dealer for the same price, and gotten 
a free membership into LHSA, instead of having to pay for that, too. 
And of course to top it off, I could have had the thing the next day. 
(I would have settled for a .72 if I could have had it immediately, 
but when I mailed my check, the only way to get one was from LHSA. No 
one bothered to say they could be purchased from a dealer.)

As it now stands, it's been two months since I mailed the check, with 
nothing but a confirmation of my order (which alone took 6 weeks to 
finally receive after repeated emails) but no word on delivery.

Several dealers have said that there will be more Special Editions 
coming out of the factory but not until November....am I going to 
have to wait seven months while someone is drawing interest on my 
money? Or is there a chance that I will get mine sooner?

The numbers I've seen indicate orders total about 500 of the .72 and 
225 of the .85. Does anyone know if this is how many have actually 
shipped, or just how many orders have been taken?

Is anyone else still waiting on theirs? Anyone have similar 
experiences with non-answers or no reply to email queries?
