I want to buy a used Leica M4 (or M4-2, M4-P) together with a f2/50mm lens in the next months, and I'll be in New York City for approx. 10 days in October. So I thought it might be a good idea to try to buy it there instead of here in Germany. Maybe somebody can help me in answering the following questions: 1. What are the prices for items like the above? Of course nobody will be able to tell me exact prices but I would appreciate some information about what to expect. (E.g. here in Hannover I was offered a black M4-P body in seemingly good condition for DM 1800 which is about US$ 1200. I also saw a classified ad offering an M4-P for DM 1400, i.e. US$ 930. Would that be cheap or expensive in NYC?) 2. Where should I go? Are there good shops for used cameras that can be recommended? Or are there any shops where I should NOT go? 3. Maybe anything else that could be useful? Thanks for your help. Bye, Edi. Replied: 29 Aug 95 20:20
