[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]All: I cannot comment on Helixcamera.com, but this seems a good time to put in a good word for Kenmore Camera, of Kenmore (near Seattle), Washington. They carry a fairly extensive list of used Leica lenses and accessories. Their website is easy to navigate and their pricing is very competitive. Because I was interested in a 400mm f6.8 Telyt that they had, I rang them on the Alexander Graham Bell and spoke with Gina. She was most helpful and when the lens arrived, it was in much better condition than I expected! They had described it as "Exc" but I'd have said mint- or at least EX++, for it is hard to find a mark on it! It came with all 4 caps (a rarity for this lens!) as well as the original box and a Leitz cable release - two items not mentioned in their description. I was very pleased with both their pricing and their service and would recommend them to anyone. Everyone talks about the major dealers (B&H, KEH, etc.), but we don't hear much about the small dealers who are doing a good job. I was most satisfied with Kenmore and will deal with them again. BTW: I have no interest in Kenmore Camera (www.kcamera.com) except as a satisfied customer. - ---------- David Young | The LHSA Spring Shoot - Victoria, B.C. Victoria, | April 23 thru 25th, 2004.
