Leica say, in effect, that there could be 1000 sales to be made from a lens which would sell at over 1000 UKP, that mean's 1m UKP business! And they turn it down? Maybe their statement about the other 900 is merely hyperbole. Good luck with the search Joseph! You're going to need it! Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Dr. Joseph Yao [SMTP:joseph@yao.com] Sent: 12 February 2001 12:05 I have gone as far as asking Leica to make me another one. When they declined, I increased my offer to 100 lenses and yet they are still reluctant. Please see the enclosed e-mail. Any idea as to what it takes for them to change their mind?

If we would make an exception and produce approx. 100 pcs only for you then we would get in problem with all the other 900 customers who also wanted this lens. I am sure we will find a solution for your request in time. I am sorry that I cannot help you right now but I will keep you request in mind and get back to you as soon as I have some further info on this subject. Thank you for your understanding.
