I have bought much of my outfit there. I do not know which cities you will be visiting, but in every major German city you will find a well-stocked Leica dealer (or several) with good prices. I have personally shopped at the following: Foto Lambertin in Cologne (right next to the cathedral) Foto Brell in Bonn (on the main square) Foto Hobby in Frankfurt (by mail order, but they do have a real shop too, I think) Brenner Foto Versand (mail order, I am not sure where in Germany they are) Leicabeimeister in Hamburg Not only will you have better prices than in Canada, but in addition you will be able to recover the VAT (16% in Germany) when you leave.
