I believe that the logo "Leica" is often highly overpriced, particularly since Leica buys many things from other people. A case in point, a floor switch for my V35 enlarger timer costs nearly $90 from Leica and "only" $33 under the Jobo label. It would be interesting to compare other products that Leica re-labels. (Incidentally, my foot switch does not have the red logo.) Costs of quality control cannot be that large! Can anyone comment on items such as projectors and filters, and the like.
