Dunno about B&H but an Asian family (resident in Portland) owns Camera
World. Family has been active in Portland business scene for many years and
is the second owner of another business (Kaplans Sport Shop) with a 50 year
history.
Hard to believe that Camera World is that much of a Leica volume
seller...from the over the counter point of view there isn't really anyone
there to talk Leica to and they have very little in the cases..never any
used stuff. Mail order obviously accounts for the bulk of the volume.
Another Portland Shop, Pro Photo Supply always has a reasonable quantity of
used Leica(M) gear and an adequate supply of new stuff...they don't stock
new R stuff.
