Anyone can help me to explain why the
two boxes each has different product code in the LEICA MP LHSA 1968~2003 Hammertone
finish kit ? I came across this Japanese online trader www.matsumoto-camera.com which
has two of these being on sale and couldn't understand the differences. Both looks
identical but the 10314 unit can't read the finder mag. imprints. Is this has to
do with Finder Magnification or something else ? There are a series of product codes
that relate: 10301, 10312, 10313, 10314 - could be codes for individual accessories
such as the Summicron-M 1:2/35 ASPH, Leicavit-M or even the hammertone finish lens
hood. You may help to offer your help as I don't have this camera nor managed to
download the original press release which could had provide the right answers.
