SO as much as this looks to Leica like a big win, it probably means nothing. BTW, I wonder if the policy was really this way, or if this is damage control? I know we all made a pretty good stink, including on the Leica sponsored BBS.... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net One of the concerns that prompted the now-changed policy was that some people in U.S. were ordering parts and selling overseas in contravention of Solms' policy not to sell to independents. As a result, Northvale will limit the sale of individual parts to a certain small numbe to ensure that parts do not go overseas. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
