An authorized Leica dealer is an authorized dealer, and can, if she/he chooses, sell you any Leica product you need. Each dealer is listed on Leica's Web site according to the products they regularly stock. Some dealerships opt not to stock the full line; perhaps they have invested heavily in other product lines and don't want to carry an M system on the shelf on speculation. It makes sense for some dealerships not to stock the full line, given the expense of stocking so much high-dollar inventory. I don't know anything about Focus. The Leica Web site shows that they are in Brooklyn, and their product line includes Sport Optics, Compact Cameras, and the Minox line. Some dealers primarily serve an audience of wildlife observers or hunters. So they carry only binocs and scopes. But if you wanted an M, they could order for you. In some areas of the country that are sparsely populated, like North Dakota, for instance, there are no dealers listed as carrying M systems. But there are four authorized Leica dealers, and they are all stocking spotting scopes and binocs. The same for Wyoming, our northern neighbor. They have three authorized Leica dealers. One, in Casper, sells the full line, including cameras; the rest sell sport optics.
