Phone no. is (418) 661-6983. There is not that many camera store in Quebec City, although this is probably the most photogenic city in North America. Leclerc Camera store is not in the city by the way. It is 3 or 4 miles from the old town, on the way to Ile d'Orleans (Orleans island) a few steps from Montmorency Falls. I would recommend you to visit Orleans Island if you have never been there. It is a short drive from Quebec and worth it. You take the road that circles it and you will go thru villages that have been there since the 17 century. Some of the houses and churches are from that period and are a photographer's dream. Now about Leclerc camera store, I was there last March and saw some Leica equipment (new & used) also Contax (quite a few), Mamiya, Hasselblad etc... If you are coming from the States, prepare yourself for real bargains. You can get presently $1.50 canadian for every $1.US. If you want, I could give you some more info on Quebec City (things to see, restaurants etc...) Tell me when you are going and what you are interested in. I usually go there every year for pleasure and business and know a bit about this wonderfull town. Regards, Jacques Leonard, designer ================ j.leonarddesigner@videotron.ca
