The point is not that it will take 'some time' as that was understood. If LHSA hadn't suddenly changed in mid-course and offered them to dealers, we wouldn't be having this thread. The real point is that the lack of clear information and direction from LHSA caused a needless tie up of cash. This makes me wonder whether there is any real benefit to being a member. Now that I've paid my dues, what am I really getting other than the lack of use of my cash? I haven't seen the promised back issues of Viewfinder, or any current issues, or the Leica Catalog, or even a welcome package for that matter. - -R
