As the owner of an R7 which I find to be the near perfect camera for my purposes an extra R7 body at an attractive price would be welcomed. Be advised however, that essentially new R7s are being sold as "demos" for $1995 while supplies last to clear out some excess inventory in anticipation of the R8. These cameras have the full three year Passport Warranty and according to Eric Bohman are not really demos but just classified that way for sale purposes. If your favorite Leica dealer doesn't know of the program call Eric at Tamarkin and Co. Paul Collura
