I have to believe every Leica comes from Leica in the first place, and Leica only sells the cameras to authorized Leica dealers, I mean, if Leica sells it to them, they are obviously authorizing them to sell it, right? So, how can a camera exist that doesn't come from SOME "Leica authorized dealer"? I'm missing this magical intermediate step, that somehow a camera sold BY Leica, to a dealer, which Leica sold it to, then loses "provenance". The above should certainly hold true for a transferable warranty, such as the International Warranty, and it simply shouldn't matter what happens to the camera after it leaves the Leica manufacturing facility. > I mentioned some USA dealers, also, sell gray. Ray said all Leica > products imported by Leica Camera Inc. carry a mylar sticker on the box > saying "Officially Distributed by Leica Camera Inc." But...if the USA dealer sells me a non-Leica USA camera, and they ARE an authorized Leica dealer, will they stamp and sign the warranty card, and will the camera be covered by the International warranty?
