G'Mornin Tom!
Yup.. I saw the 'winkie'. But my comment still stands, for while it may be=
true that prices in the US have risen (they've not risen nearly so much in=
Canada and not at all, to my understanding, in Europe) this is due to the=
declining value of the greenback and the relative strengthening of the=
Euro. Indeed, it is this problem with exchange rates that Leica (Solms)=
list as one of the major sources of their troubles!
Had the exhange rates remained steady and no US price increases had=
occurred, they'd still be offering a 'free' motor to induce you to buy.=
They need to reduce their inventories.
Which brings me back to the 'R' series. Since even the factory admits that=
'R' sales are their biggest problem... why not have a 'deal' on some R=
stuff? Yet it's the only catagory not represented in their list of=
specials. :-(
I'm still waiting for the "buy a DM-R and get an R0 for US$595!" Don't=
know if it will ever happen!
Cheers!
David.
