I asked about a D3S, and was told it would get here sometime in the future, 3 to 4 months if you are extremely lucky. Leica is far faster and more reliable for product delivery. gene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marty Deveney" <benedenia at gmail.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 9:27:39 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [Leica] Pentax 645 When I first visited the Nikon factory in Japan, I thought "is this it?"
