Hello,

While down in Columbus (Ohio) today  on business I had some extra time 
to kill and stopped at the two pro-oriented camera shops in the City, 
Midwest Photo and Cord's main store.  Both had been authorized Leica 
dealers.  Neither had any Leica gear, much less an M8.  I know I can 
mail order one from B&H, Rich, Pat, etc., but I dearly wanted to handle 
one in person.  Anyone familiar with other dealers in Ohio, Southern 
Michigan or Western PA which might have an M8 in stock?  I'm jealous of 
you who seem to have dealers with actual Leica stock, which was always 
the case in Columbus pre-digital.  It reminds me of the old peddler's 
saying that you can't sell from an empty wagon!
