In the course of conversation I asked what the price was (as you do) and was told that the 150UK pound rebate was due to expire at the end of June. When I asked what the price would be after that, the guy called Leica UK to check and was told that the rebate would be increased to 200 pounds! I don't know if this is likely to be reflected in other countries but I thought it might be worth pointing out in case anyone was thinking of buying one in the next few days! By the way, it gave me a good excuse to hand it back to the dealer. I couldn't afford it anyway unfortunately! :-( I'll stick to my "normal" M6 for now, but I did find the increased magnification more of a help than I'd expected. As my main lenses are 35, 50 and 90 'crons, the 0.85 would be ideal. I think if they were to bring out a chrome one I would find it impossible to resist! Simon.
