I visited the shop on a very hot day last summer and was amused to find two French guys engaged in hot debate with the salesman. I guess thay were really putting the world of Leica to rights. However, I sat in the corner and read the paperback novel I was carrying until they finally left (without buying anything!). It took at least half an hour, maybe 45 minutes. The final joke was the the lens I was interested in turned out to be a display dummy - no wonder it looked mint! (That's the second time I've made that mistake...but the last time I didn't have to wait so long to discover the error of my ways) Regards, Doug (who has since had an eye-test...)
