RE: [Leica] Upcoming US visit

[Jeffrey Hausner <Buzz@marianmanor.org>]

The last time I was in Levine's, about two weeks ago, their used Leica stock
was pretty small.  I haven't been to Hunt's in many months, but for an
out-of-towner, Hunt's can be quite a trek and difficult to locate.  Anyway,
to reiterate my advice on used and new Leica gear near Boston;  New England
Photo in Arlington Center.
