Still that's USD764 saving on your figures. About 27% discount from the B&H price. I agree that any potential resale profit is quite another thing. I imagine that the buying price for a new owner would need to be significantly below the dealer price to be worthwhile. I'm pretty sure that there is a PLUG commandment regarding never selling good lenses as well. My vote for those early adopter folk is accept that Leica is providing some compensation for issues with the M8 and buy a lens that YOU want. BTW, I hope that you have recovered from that nasty bug.

It's almost not worth the trouble of sending in the proof of purchase and getting it approved by Leica when I could order the lens from B&H and have it tomorrow if I wanted it :-( I don't think it would be worth buying and re-selling as used.
