I'm an employee at a medium-sized university, and I too would love to see educational discounts for Leica. In the US, they do not. However, here is what I do. I buy used Leicas and lenses. My M6 came to me new via insurance , after my CLE was stolen, but all my lenses have serial numbers denoting 25-30 years of age. My R3 is 28 years old. My CLE is 30 years old. My friend Dr. John Shaw, Physics Prof at the Louisiana School for Science Math and Arts next door, just showed me his prized new purchase, a 40 year old M2. Take a look at my website and see what 30 year old glass can do. http://www.sonc.com Meanwhile, I'll remain grateful we have faculty / staff parking lots here at the University. I'd hate to park my 20 year old Ford truck in with the student's BMWs, Preludes, and Mustangs.
