I found a used Lecia CME on a website called labX (
http://www.labx.com). I =
posted a "looking to buy" ad and got a response. It took a little while, bu=
t it's a good scope just like the one I used when I was at the ICTC seminar=
over the summer. It cost $475 which is way cheaper than anything else I've=
seen.
Hopefully this is a useful source to someone else too.
