[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Sherry Krauter confirmed this to me a couple of days ago. It appears that Solms adopted this policy over a year ago but that Leica/USA Northvale continued to sell parts to independent Leica service people. It is my understanding that lawyers are presently determining if this action violates U.S.anti-trust law. This is not an area of my law practice or any expertise, but my quick reaction is that it may not be a violation. Keep tuned.

I've e-mailed DAG about this who has confirmed the news. At this point it's uncertain how this will all work out; he thinks Leica's action is illegal and he is getting legal advice on the matter. At this time Don has thousands of Leica repair parts on hand so at least in the short term his business isn't hurting. > > > Doug Herr > Birdman of Sacramento > http://www.wildlightphoto.com > -- > To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
