What I find truly amazing is that in this day and age, with a common market and now even a single currency, people in France are willing to pay French prices when they can save hundreds of € on a major purchase like a Leica outfit by buying in Germany. Maybe it is partly because a lower percentage of France's population is online than in other advanced countries, and partly due to the fact that most sites in Germany are in German only (sometimes also in English).
