Subject: [Leica] Fungus in camera

When has a triviality such as 'illegal' ever stopped a corporation, if it
went against their self-interest.
While I don't have the info at my fingertips, didn't a number of German
corp. giants buy industries in Eastern Europe just for such reasons. That
is, to escape the homeland illegalities by going where it was 'legal'. At
times just a few miles away.
Ourselves, we have just such a fiasco here on the border with the
Maquiladoras.
