How can the dealer check those lenses, or be willing to break the seal on the chance they will have it rejected by the next buyer because it was opened if you don't buy it? It's up to Leica to QC their lenses. Let's hope this is a short-term trend. I have yet to ever buy a defective lens from Leica. But then, I buy more lenses used than new. :-) I knew a dealer in Edmonton, Alberta who had a customer who bought four of each item Leica put up for sale. Two he used and two he put in a safe deposit box unopened. The latter two had better be sealed on delivery. Imagine owning four 800 6.3 Telyt-S lenses? Sheesh! ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Logic: The art of being wrong with confidence...
