This was about three months ago. After searching the Web and calling about five stores (the usual suspects -- good dealers) I ran across NYCV -- which interestingly enough is NOT in New York but Pennsylvania. They were the ONLY store that was both an authorized Leica dealer and willing to substantially discount. The salesman that helped me on the phone was knowlegable and after asking what lenses I would be using steered me away from the more expensive .85 to the .72 M6TTL. He had both in stock. Their price was several hundred dollars less than the "standard" price. I DID get the $150 Leica rebate and passport warranty registration. Shipping was fast, and at a reasonable price. The salesman was very patient and friendly -- unlike the majority of "real" New York camera store salesmen who are often in a hurry. How do they do it? I don't know. Perhaps this is the start of some competition in Leica pricing. I would buy from them again in a heartbeat. I hope this helps.
