Hello David,

Not at all mate, the only reason I brought up Leica USA was a fortnight ago
I filled out paper work for this very Pro service, other wise I'd probably
not responded to your post.

Sorry you have to work under such archaic methods, I think it's worth a note
to Herr Cohn about the pro situation and see what happens. You might use the
Leica USA situation as an example compared to the UK.
