Thanks for your insight and suggestions......no offense taken on any part of your response.
I broker many deals for a large group of parties, mostly in Canon or Nikon units. So my start at being asked to
handle some older Leica gear is a new and interesting adventure. Since I saw some conversations on Leica gear
on one of the forums, I felt I may find someone else more informative than I on them. It does appear that I may be
fighting an uphill battle...until I can at least obtain the units and determine what he actually has to sell.
Again thanks for your insight...and if anyone else has any info...I'd be greatfull for any suggestions.
