Miro,

Fortunately, the market for second-hand Leicas is a global one, and with modern
transportation, credit cards etc. buying abroad is very easy. If you are not
happy with what is available to you locally, try one of the following
retailers:

http://www.robertwhite.co.uk/seconds.htm

http://www.foto-hobby.de/

http://www.leicabeimeister.com/leica/

http://www.leicashop.at/

The first one is in the UK, the next two in Germany and the last one in Austria
(I personally boycott this last one these days for political reasons, but it is
a good shop, so if you do not share my reservations about Austria, you can get
good deals here). I have done business with all four, both new and second-hand
Leica items. Every time the merchandise has been as promised, in perfect
working order, and in most cases with 6 or even 12 months warranty. For me
these were also purchases abroad, as I was living in Belgium and now in
Switzerland. The fact that Australia is further away is irrelevant.
