yeah, photo market here is on the expensive side and frankly I will  
not buy from Casanova which is always a bit more expensive, but I did  
the same comparaison with other well-know dealers across Europe and  
figures aren't different in the core, buying in the US is still  
cheaper or far cheaper before or after the rebate.

Indeed taking in consideration a brand-new one at list price in a  
leica dealer at about the list price. Anyhow your offer in netherland  
was still about $6690 which is a higher price than a brand new one in  
USA, which, to me, is still in shock seeing his $ being moderately  
lower than it used to be, and the general price rise we're living.



I feel better, to hell with photography, art, women, and all
E. Weston, 1924
