So if somebody pays 200k for a Ferrari, he or she should expect the car never needs service, on the contrary! leica's are very mechanical and everything mechanical will eventually need service. my friend you buy a leica for extraordinary design & optics. _____________________________________ Thanks, Mehrdad [-----Original Message----- [From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [[mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Mxsmanic [Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 12:55 AM [To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [Subject: Re: [Leica] Gray or Not too Gray.
