They sell more kinds than they rent, however, and in the case of the 50 Summicron they rent a model different than the current one. Are you implying that since they are a Leica dealership that they are under some obligation with Leica to allow me to rent any lens before I buy it? I've never heard of this, but if it's true I'd like to take advantage of it. How does this work at your dealer? Do you just ask the salesman to let you rent a particular lens? Is the rental price deducted from the purchase price if I decide I want to keep it? -Charlie Charles E. Dunlap Earth Sciences Dept. University of California Santa Cruz, CA 95064
