Some people like to just say they have a Leica...either for their own feeling, or to impress others...or even themselves. > So what if it's new and unmarked?

Well, you can use camera gear with care so as to keep the gear as unmarked as you reasonably can. At least for me, and I am very careful with my cameras...at least how I store and carry them...I find that I can resell my nearly unmarked gear for near what I paid for it...and that way, I can get new (to me that is) equipment and have no money lost...if I decide to sell it that is. I probably will not sell much of my Leica gear ever, except may be a lense or so that I really don't use. > If, for that matter, if you buy a new hammer, do you keep it in the tool > box until it somehow gets a nick? Yeah, but B.D., if you have a Leica, why would you need a hammer? ;-) Regards, Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
