I never said that the downtown store change caused the decline of camera shops there. What I said is that unfortunately these businesses replaced them; a sign of the times. I would spend free time rummaging through the bins of these places for useful odds and ends. I came up with some really great stuff. Old Leica straps, specially designed camera cases, filters, etc. But I never bought a Leica from these places. I bought my cameras from a discount place located in my neighborhood that sold all types of appliances. That place, Focus Camera, is still there. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
