Re: [Leica] Upcoming US visit

Alex-

I second John's recommendation; Levine's is pretty good for lots of stuff.
You don't always find "bargians" but the equiptment is solid as are the
staff. Avoid the camera stores in downtown Boston- lots of rip offs. In the
suburbs try to get to WB Hunt in Melrose (about 8 miles north of Boston)
sometimes they have an item or two for perusal....a fairly extensive used
dept, but I don't know how much Leica, I have to go up there myself, now
that I'm a LUGger!
On the west coast, sorry I don't remember your itinerary, but if you can,
do the "16 mile drive"- very beatiful, lots of photo ops!
e-mail me; I live 5 miles west of Boston.

Regards,
Bob Keene
