And wait...and wait. Ask your dealer how he or she would feel about this. This is a consumer product, and consumers don't like having to wait for their purchases. Anyway, it's academic, as I understand it the Classic is dead and Titanium finish is restricted to certain models. Even M6TTL and M7 in chrome and black with 3 different finders leaves you with 12 different 'mainstream' models. For any manufacturing or distribution operation inventory *costs*, it's not something to take on lightly. - -- David Morton dmorton@journalist.co.uk "The more opinions you have, the less you see." -- Wim Wenders. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
