For Gd's sake, Feli - look for a used one. Except for a lens that I
absolutely have to have that's not yet available used, I can't imagine
buying a new manual focus lens. Body? Sure. Auto

So, if you purchase a used item that was originally purchased grey, you 
are out of luck if it needs to be serviced, even if it's out of 
warranty and you are willing to pay?

Hong Kong probably.

I'm looking for a 1.4/35 Summilux ASPH. New it would break the bank, 
but I could swing it gray or as a dealer demo...
