When you go to Wall Street camera you can handle all the equipment, see what is new and there is no pressure on you to buy and you can spend a lot of time just looking (ask for Eli), Tamarkin is a good place too but I havenīt been there recently, B&H is a big place but really crowded, I like the used equipment department. If you have never used rangefinder Leicas, you should rent or try one first. My one cent Jorge Saravia.
