Hi Luis,

I know Leicabeimeister but find it a bit on the expensive side, just 
like the Leica Shop in Vienna.
The German shops with which I have done most business are:

Brenner Foto Versand:
http://www.alles-foto.de/

Foto Mayr:
http://www.fotomayr.de/webkat98/

Foto Hobby:
http://www.foto-hobby.de/engl/start.htm

Among the Dutch ones I can recommend:
http://www.kamera-express.nl/

Saludos,
Nathan
