I first thought when you said "buy it from Kit" that you thought I was
going to have to put the darn thing together by myself on a card table
as in "Heathkit"!
As far as i know that is not an option for digital cameras yet!!!
I know of one dealer here I can think of but he's keeping a low profile
I guess so we'll leave it at that. Might be obvious though.

It is off putting when dealers only pretend to be involved in the list
so they are one of us when the time comes, Friday. Not sure that's
better than Mell Levy or Don Chatterton's and others who just give us
their list on Fridays with not brown nosing.. That's certainly OK with me.
Thank god for Kit her perspective is inviable. Thanks Kit!

If the damn thing cost too much we can always wait for Canon or Nikon to
come out with their soon to be following copy cat "analog" digital
cameras for half the price. But no Leica optics for one.
"Analog" only in Spirit, Phong! Or feel. Or Je ne sais quoi!

I have squandered, saved, and sold my soul for so many Leica items over
the decade which would have cost me a fraction had i just gone
Nikon/Canon that I'm used to it. (GLASS)
