My wife is from Cuzco and she assures me that Peruachrome was actually
invented in ancient times.  It was formulated from quinua and pappas, and
was designed to be used exclusively in the Incaflex.

Hmmmm....  I've not been able to find any info on the Incaflex.....
Although I almost bought a Incarex 35 a while back.... do you think they are
related  : ) ????  

To get this sort of back on thread.... there is a Leica dealer in Lima
Peru.... Seems like a nice guy, German descent... but sells mostly
projectors and very very very very few cameras or lenses.  

I've spent this entire week sorting and filing misc slides and negs going
back to last spring.... not fun... but my office looks a lot more
presentable.   By the end of next week I should be done and I'll be able to
get back out and actually do some photography this summer without the burden
of piled up work to do in my office...  I also have a couple longer trips
planned around Ecuador and am hoping for good weather this summer.

Somewhat related to this is my other goal this weekend to select some images
from my trip to Peru for my web page....  Shot on Fujichrome with another
major camera brand...  Before I had Leica..... And last, yes I know it's
Icarex, not Incarex.  Smile... it's Friday.....  Hey....  Anybody have a
Noctilux they want to make me a deal on  ???
