The Leica store in Pasadena did look like a jewelry store, now that I think 
about.

My Leicas I got from camera world in Portland or B&H in NY or one lens from
Glazers in Seattle. All look like camera stores and not the slightest bit
like jewelry stores. Where does stuff like this come from I wonder?
If ones approach to Leica is so intensely negative why involve yourself with
it or be on a Leica list?
