Their collection of used equipment changes daily, but they seemed to have a large stock of M3s and M4s, so I would expect that those would be available. They only had one Summicron when I went (a mint Canadian-made version for $850). The glass was perfect, the body was mint-, and there was no pressure to make the sale. Gerry, the Leica man, hung around while I looked, examined, and occasionally asked a question. I didn't notice that they had a large selection of other M lenses. My impression was that they were a) low on stock due to the upcoming holidays or b) don't always have a big supply on hand. If there's something specific that you want I would call first. I would also shop around. You'll probably be disappointed if you go to just one used camera store hoping to find exactly what you want. Other folks here might be able to suggest places in Manhatten that are good alternatives. - -Charlie
