I forgot about VAT which makes a big difference. I understand you can get it back at the airport but the one time I tried it was a royal pain. That was a few years ago and I can't imagine wanting to add an extra step in the airport process these days. I do remember some really nice collector pieces when I was there a few years ago. (It's been too long) at reasonable prices. Amsterdam, hmmmm I never thought about looking for camera gear when I was there, and I've been there four times. :-) Before anyone gets excited, that was meant to be a joke. I will say that I have never met a group of friendlier people in my life than the Dutch. On to another subject: Does anyone know the story behind the little camera shop attached to the cathedral in Köln? Does the cathedral have anything to do with the shop? Are they squatters? Inquiring minds want to know.

I visited it a couple of times when I lived in the Netherlands, though I was too poor to buy any of the M gear. I wouldn't call the place warm and fuzzy, but a great selection of stuff. Moreover, the Jordaan area of Amsterdam is a very cool place to wander around.

Excellent selection of both new and used Leica gear (and other things), competent staff and good prices. I have been to the shop on Nieuwendijk but found it too "touristy", especially after I overheard the guy applying hard sales tactics to a foreign visitor.
