We'll love it for its fingerprint. Then wipe it off. I wonder how long those 100 so Noctili sat there before they decided to make it a good thing instead of a bad thing. They could not have been exactly flying out the door. The humidors may help. There are more people perhaps who can spend ten grand on something no one else has got than 5 on something a whole lot of people have got. Relatively speaking. I know a lot more people who have Noctili than most people do. And we vote. mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > From: Leonard Taupier <len-1@comcast.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:42:14 -0400 > To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Got $$$ to burn? > > Leica announced the discontinuance of the Noctilux on May 19th, as > reported by several sites including Popflash.
