Ray,

I notice that you have been waiting up to 3 months for 1.25 mag, I have 
just ordered one so this tells me I will have to be patient.  That is what 
prompted hypothetical about Leica going bankrupt - it seems thta every 
time I order something it takes forever to arrive - almost like all agents 
are running on skeleton stock - I ordered small combination bag and UV 
filter - that was a month ago, no sign of the goods.
