Re: [Leica] Nawh! Not insulting 'our' Tina - and agree about the 7G's!

Trouble is, whenever one of those hardly used super digitals
is offered for sale, so much of the accompanying "stuff' is lost.
Like software, manuals, cords, etc.  "Oh it's around here
somewhere", they say.  "I'll send it to you"  Right.  And they
want $100 less than they paid for a $2000 camera!  "GF" I
say.
