[Austin] Might Leica make it 'difficult' to obtain parts though?  I wonder
how friendly the parting of the ways was...

	--> I'm VERY impressed at the level of anxiety
	many of you display. It obviously says a lot about the
	laudable quality service Kindermann has managed to provide
	Leica brand owners through the years, with that
	evanescent personal touch and professional dedication.

	But then Lisle-Kelco also sure is a serious business
	that represents some of the finest photo equipment
	available, both at the shooting stage, then the processing
	and even digital post-processing, plus many high end
	well recognized lab, photo accessories and presentation items,
	mostly geared towards the connoi$$eur amateur then the
	quality directed professional photo markets.

	At this point in Leica history, service and SUPPORT
	certainly has to remain of such high quality and your comments
	definitely provide Kindermann with loads of kudos,
	BUT Lisle-Kelco's P.R. side of the business, their outstanding
	dynamic sales directed strategic organization probably is one major
	factor that motivated the switch as, I'd pre-suppose,
	Leica officials probably are on the look-out for a more
	potent sales organization as this has to remain priority
	number one in present context.
