Dan C. I presume the good Doctor would sell it, but that isn't the question. The question is would he BUY it. I think that any photographer, as opposed to collector, who FOUND a collectors grade Leica item would sell it and invest in equipment for use. But then, I take pictures with an M6HM. However, I do not want to presume to speak for the Doctor.
