Well, heck, I'm the one that started this thread so I'd better sign up
for one for my IIIf RD even though I inquired about it for a future M6

avenue to getting sufficient commitments. Does anyone have the
definite ruling from Leica that they would do this for a certain
number of guaranteed or prepaid orders?
