Without fear of contradiction, therefore, I might suggest that if a few hunderd dollars is that important to you, you're probably not in the right forum to express your views. Leica products are not mass-market commodities. If you'd rather drink Fetzer than Ceretto, that's fine, but don't labor under the illusion that the former is the same as the latter,or at leastdon't try to convince us of such a belief. On the other hand, there is an advantage to the Leica buyer over the wine buyer: you can buy Leica used. > I presume your using the royal prerogative here as you may not speak for me when you say us. I have been using Leicas for over 45 years and I can tell you straight out your new Leicas and high end hi fi gear are not nearly as good an investment as second hand Leicas and etc. If you think buying a new Leica and think it is a better investment that a good second hand one your kidding yourself.
