We told Ernesto that we would give him another Summar, when we got one, at no cost. We didn't get one immediately, and just had purchase one at the LA show for $135,00 and were sending to him when we heard about his E..mail . Free junk lens, to someone who is a "super Leica collector", but now completely ballistic. Regarding tax.....for 30 years we have had no retail facility. as we carry ONLY Leica and a little Haselblad. Can't open a retail store with that. This mail order business has supported me though 30 years of Multiple Sclerosis and 17 years of carring for an invalid member of my family at home. until she died 2 years ago, My next door neighbor was our Lt. Governor, and he used to help me out on tough days . Never heard any thing about our tax position all of these years. In this State, it is not legal to collect tax from out of state buyers. I spend 5 hours a days just doing "missionary" work answering question, making appraisals and answering E..mail and fax's. 99% of tha brings in absolutely no business, and seldom evnen a thank you. I do appreciate your not tjoining in on the feeding frenzy, 'cause were trying to do the best we can with the time we have. Thanks...Don
