[Leica] Re: Has Leica ever offered a student discount program?

[Jim Brick <jim@brick.org>]

Don't know about Leica, but my daughter (music/photography major) just 
bought some Hasselblad equipment via Hasselblad's student discount program. 
Fantastic program. She saved around 1/3 off of the Hasselblad net price.

One can purchase only one of each item and that item only once each year. 
Also, the equipment is registered to the student at Hasselblad USA before 
it leaves there. And, there is only a certain amount of equipment actually 
allotted to the student discount program. And, the student's curriculum, 
instructor's signature and proof of employment must accompany the equipment 
purchase request.

This tends to discourage the buy/sell for profit folks.
