Is it really so surprising that there are few or no Leicas in Polish 
photo shops? After all, let us not forget that despite its enormous 
achievements in the past decade, Poland still has a per-capita income 
far below that of Western Europe or North America. Given that, I am not 
at all surprised that there is not much of a market for slightly 
excentric, old-fashioned, and very expensive German cameras. For the 
same reason it is much easier to find a new Leica in Zurich than in, 
say, Athens.
