[Leica] Lightroom 3

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

David,

the Leica website actually says that the voucher is good for the latest 
version - I gather that Adobe is causing problems.

I quote:

The software is a free download for LEICA M9 customers, to guarantee 
that the most current version is always available.

Cheers
Douglas
