Subject: "Grey" Market Leica....more prices

          My last posting prompted several off-line inquiries, so I thought
          I'd answer them all by posting (most of) Lemon's price list for
          new equipment.  As Claes rightly pointed out, you may be able to
          get them cheaper at other places in town.  [And David: I've
          included the R prices too, alright?].

          I should also say that the following is for your info only, if
          you happen to be coming to Japan or are just curious as to prices
          around the world.  I'm not in the least interested in getting
          into the import/export business!

          For reference, today's mid-market Y/US$ is around 112, subject to
          rather alarming volatility.
