Do you guys remember a pre internet time when no self respecting Leica User would even think of buying any equipment, new or used, mail order. The only way to buy a Leica was to go to the shop, handle it , shake, it test it as much as you could and after half an hour of fidgeting maybe haggle and finally buy the thing. It's so much simpler now.......
