Many of you may have suspected that you couldn't buy anything for your Leica that was less than $995 - but there you have it. You can also get a rear lens cap or an M body cap for $19 new and with a box. No warranty cards though. I wonder if the Leica gallery in New York City will ever have a show with nothing but Leica boxes? That would be quite a show. New ones, mint ones, only used once ones, and ones still sealed and never opened. I think the German boxes are better than other camera boxes. Better resolution on the printing and thicker cardboard. Some of the older mechanical Canon F-1 boxes were pretty good. Much better than the new AF Canon EOS-1n boxes. Who really cares about the metal cameras and lenses inside. The real action is in the boxes... Richard - ----------------------- Richard Clompus Pennsylvania, USA
