The store is called "Beverly Hills Camera Centre," and is located > where you might expect, Beverly Hills California. His name is Nigel Skeet, > born in England, raised in Amsterdam, and transplanted to Los Angeles to > find more subjects for his rock n' roll magazine work. I got to know Nigel > when he worked at Samy's Camera. I went in to buy a 20-35 zoom for my Nikon. > Nigel asked me a few simple questions, then handed me an M6, saying, "Be > careful, if you hold it, you'll have to buy it." Oh, did he know what he was > talking about. I walked out with an M6, a 35 Summicron, and a new friend. > Nigel's inherent drive has finally compelled him to make the big leap and > start his own shop. This note is an attempt to reward that entrepreneurial > spirit. > > I know Nigel to be smart, knowledgeable, honest and fair. Above all, the guy > LOVES LECIA! His store address can be found under the California Dealers in > the Market/Addresses section of the Leica Web Site.
