KBCamera has been out of business for much longer then February. It's  
more like 9 months to a year. They still maintained their classic web  
site with leica lens and camera reviews and serial number lists, but  
as soon as you tried to link to their sales site you would get error  
messages. This is the helpful site that Ric mentioned. About 6 or 8  
months ago a couple of their items like a filter or other small items  
could be purchased through Amazon but the merchandise was never  
delivered. At that time there were many feedback messages posted  
calling KBCamera a fraud that never shipped purchased items. My  
dealings with KBCamera were always very good but that was over a year  
ago. I have no knowledge that they were ever fraudulent but that was  
the opinion of some of the people that tried to make purchases.
