If you guys would like I can scan the Leep perspective and post it for all
to read.
(I'm the one that sold the sheets on ebay)
I was just about to send a $100 deposit to POP OPTIX  for a Leep when I
heard that they were not going to survive. The deal was the camera would
sell for $795 but if you sent $100 early you would get it for $495, I guess
they were trying to raise money for production.
