Not to be annoying, bow can you be certain? There are a lot of little parts
that go into a camera and its box, and how can you be sure that, for
example, there weren't manuals being printed or boxes being packed or
something?
The news of this lawsuit will not dissuade me from purchasing a Leica
(which I'm about to do), but I am interested in the outcome.
