They had three, maybe four R-lenses of various lengths, three m-lenses, one R-8 body and one chrome m-6 body, probably HM. Plus they had three or four minilux's and other Leica point and shoots and four leica binoculars. These folks are the best I have worked with, if only from a customer service point of view. They can and do order what ever you want and take good care of me. Steve At 11:35 PM 7/24/98 -0400, you wrote: >Dave: > >You're thinking of Camera Mart.
