[Leica] Oh god, I found another KE-7A kit, far more economical, ...

I wasn't trolling.  Perhaps I should have posted at IDCC, which is more 
interested in collecting. 

But honestly, I received an email yesterday, from an inquiry that I had 
completely forgotten about, for a KE-7A kit.  A person had claimed to 
have one for sale, I replied back, months ago, but received no further 
reply. Well, he responded yesterday, and with a price that is very 
reasonable (comparatively). 

Now, with my prior thread on this topic, there were those that were 
amused (I hope) and provided some excellent advice.  And what really 
impressed me even further were the stories of prior pricing (one 
university getting a set at a couple hundred dollars, and the pricing 
when the US Army released a number of sets onto the civilian market).   
And I also got many private emails, with images, to assert 
authenticity.  That was a completely surprising and welcome outcome of 
that thread.

So, not a troll.  I thought the group might be amused at how my desires 
for getting a KE-7A is playing out. 

As for shooting with it, I fully intend to, if I get it.  It comes with 
the 50/2 Elcan lens, which I still hear isn't so hot a lens. 

As for current shooting, well, my work is killing me right now. No 
current shooting.  It is crunch time, in the software release delivery 
business.  Phase 1 delivery is 1.5 weeks late (we are holding the final 
review for shipment today), phase 2 - commercial release is mid-June.  
No time for relaxation until then.
