I'm not familiar with Ken Hansen, but Tamarkin has a good selection of both
new and used equipment and a knowledgeable, helpful staff.  What's more,
Tamarkin is just down the hall from the Leica Gallery in the same building.

		I'm inching toward reacquaintance with (and re-acquisition
of component
		parts of) the M series after a 15 or so year interval (my
new-in-1959
		M-3 and later acquired M-4-P are long gone, although I still
have a CL
		and an AF-C1).

		I'm going to have a free afternoon in New York City in a
couple of weeks
		and would like to spend some of it looking at a good
selection of new
		and used bodies and lenses in a friendly atmosphere. The two
shops that
		stick out from current Shutterbug advertising and web sites
are Tamarkin
		and Ken Hansen....I'd appreciate any comments, thoughts
and/or
		suggestions about these or others that would be worth a
visit.

		(If you want to send comments to me off-list to avoid
offending anyone
		I'll certainly keep your remarks to myself.)

		TIA,
