Hi Farnz and everyone else
Thanks for the replies.
I registered the camera on the Leica site and it had not been previously registered so I don't think it was secondhand. I think it was just ageing new stock that had been passed from one dealer to another. Maybe they buy bankrupt stock - but that's speculation.
The most significant drawback with our purchase was losing the passport, which means we'll have to pay for our own insurance.
The sales methods (I didn't elaborate on some of the things they said while selling us the camera as it is our word against theirs and didn't want legal action!) were more in keeping with a used car dealership than a top spec camera shop, but they can be put down to a lesson learned...
However, I wanted everyone to know that they are not an official dealer and are still selling new cameras that could be a disappointment to others.
Regards
WW
