However, many of us have been spared the anguishes of the disease and are "Leica users" foregoing the worry of whether the purchase will be a successful return or not with possibly dying before it happens. ;-) I'm sure one of the astute Leica collectors, much better versed in the art of buying and selling than I, can answer your question much better. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
