Hi Doug!
I notice more R Leica gear on German eBay. I'm
looking for an M Leica down the road a piece. The
problem of buying from Germany in the US is the
lack of credit cards option and hence Paypal. It's a
punishing $50 for a bank transfer/currency which will
problably be needed with the additional shipping
makes it unlikely I'll find anything there. Still,
there is more R gear than on the US site.
Cheers,
