If this "nobody buys new Leica" were true; then there would be no  
used gear available. It's just silly. In most cases Leica has been  
unable to keep up with demand when new items have become available.

And as previously stated, I've purchased a new Leica body and Lens.  
I've also purchased a couple Leica bodies and lenses, as demos, from  
licensed dealers; which is pretty darn close to new. They never left  
the store - until I walked out with them.

Also: I not only buy Leica used, I also bought all of my Hasselblad,  
Linhof, Deardorf, Schneider, Rodenstock, Durst, and etc. gear used.  
How will those companies survive?
