It often makes me wonder why we can't cut the (very often inefficient)
middle man and order at Leica directly at significantly reduced prides.
Currently, you can order on the premises in Solms, at the Leica Shop, but
prices are identical to the German suggested retail prices ("protecting"
dealers and importers I guess -- the end user is of little concern in the
matter).
