I got them at Maison du Leica ( House of Leica) on Bonne Marche. Their prices were not any better than those in the USA but they had a good selection and were very friendly and polite. Paris was a wonderful city to visit and was the first time I used a R4 I had bought a few days before I left home. I also had an EOS with me but I found the Kodachromes I took with the Leica looked much better than the ones taken with the EOS. This got me hooked on Leicas. We had a great time in France. My wife's brother inlaw is in the Canadian Armed Forces and was stationed at the Canadian Embassy in Paris. Being able to stay with my wife's relatives made it a very economical trip. Although, any money we saved I probably spent on the two lens I bought there. I hope you share your travel stories with the rest of the LUG. It are these types of stories that make the lug interesting. Regards, Robert Stevens
