[Leica] Noctilux

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

Mark that is pretty unfair to Sue to bring that theme over from other
threads about buying and selling equipment. Sue has had the misfortune to
have her gear stolen and fortunately her insurance is covering that
replacement for her. It sounds like this will be a once in a life time
opportunity to have the newest Noctilux for her. Good luck to you Sue. I
would certainly be waiting for that one in your circumstances too.
