Oh, what horrible people! They want to pay salaries and keep a repair shop open! They want to do some advertising so people buy Leicas. :-) Okay, so they don't do it very well at this point. Give the reorganization some time to let the heads roll. This is something every camera importer does. One man's inflated is another's reasonable profit that keeps them solvent. And Leica needs not apologize for making a profit off their cameras. This Wal Mart bargain basement style marketing in the USA is going to kill any kind of quality of life we still have some semblance of - including Leica.
