Hello
If you go to the Leica website they still advertise the DMR, why would they do
that if it has been yanked, it can also still be had from reputable sellers

time will tell... meanwhile wishful thinking...piled on other wishful

David... I wonder if you have been "led by the nose" by people with
their own wishful thinking, who didn't want to give you any bad news...
a classic example of giving bad news, while appearing to be giving
you good news...
(remind you of anyone.... ?)
