Thus brings us full circle....

My original posting was ALTERNATIVES to Canadian resellers for Leica
equipment. Yes, Vistek is pricey, and ALT, while probably having the best
selection of Leica, their prices are not that much better. (However, ALT
gets full marks and a hearty "BRAVO" for having one of the nicest salesmen
in the Leica and Contax area.

What are prices like in Germany or Austria ? Can anyone recommend a good
shop in Germany ?

And for those of you North of 42oN who care.......

Personally, I can't stomach dealing with Henry's. Yesterday I stopped in and
looked at their Leica offerings. A very beat-up R4 and equally trashed 50mm
Summicron for over $1200 bucks. Cameras and lenses lay about without caps,
full of dust and crap and 90% of the sales staff I estimate have never used
a camera before AF. No thanks.

Regards

William
