What happens if I buy an M6 here (Australia) and then go away to the US where it breaks down. Would Leica USA refuse to fix it because it is a grey market import? Although I dont expect this to happen, I am thinking of buying an M6 in Hong Kong. A new Leica M6 here costs $4500Aus, which is about $3000US. Price variation between countries I can understand, but this is ridiculous. (Another reason I dont want to buy here is because the only new M6 I know of has a 1993 serial number. I don't call 5 years old new, even if it hasn't been used.) Imagine an M6 sitting around unused for this long! A travesty. Sean
