Rick,
Haven't bought anything used from Tamarkin, NYC, but I have purchased all my
new Leica M gear from them through Craig Williams.  Craig is very helpful; in fact,
everyone I've been in contact with there seem knowledgeable and very cordial.

After receiving a recent M6HM purchase, I noticed-after several days-that the
back of the shutter curtain had several off-white areas seemingly embedded in
the cloth curtain...probably just over-spray from the white meter dot, I thought.  A
couple of days later I still felt uncomfortable with the situation so I called Craig.  He
said that it probably wasn't a problem, but if I felt it wasn't right send it back and
they would send a new one!  I did...the second one was fine.  So I guess I can't
say enough good about the Tamarkin staff in NYC!

Best regards,
Alan
