Gruff is an understatement. I have not had good experience with Pardees, and
do my business with Camera Arts (for everything but Leica - I buy Leica stuff
very infrequently, in fact just my system 3 years ago). The folks at Camera
Arts seem much more willing to talk to you as a hobbiest, rather than as a
potential sale.
