All stock will be shipped to Leica USA who will then become the Canadian distributor. This is not good news for Canada as in the past, when Leica USA was also the Canadian distributor, product availability and service was very poor. There are signs that another independent will be looking at taking over in Canada again. Unfortunately Kindermann is not being considered due to personal animosities between them and Leica AG. I say unfortunately as Werner was a born again believing Leica distributor with the best repair staff of any Leica distributor in the world. Fortunately Kinderman still repairs Leicas.
