The rebates offered through Leica Camera UK can you also not get them in the Eurozone? If not then this is a decision of Leica UK which may have an operating freedom in this area. At some time the MD of Leica UK will have to sit down with his parent company bosses and show that this tactic or strategy was an overall success financially and in bringing in new Leica customers, hopefully for the long term.

I've been in contact with two dealers in the UK (I'm in Norway), and they both were able to offer solutions to get the rebate.
My guess is that Leica overall sold a lot more due to these offers, but that a lot of it sold through UK dealers.
