It took me a while but now I am ordering most, if not all, of my equipment in the "Heimat", i.e. Germany, for these three reasons: - - the good German dealers are more knowledgeable in things Leica than their counterparts in the rest of Europe; - - they usually have a lot more Leica stuff in stock and, if not, order and delivery times are unbeatable; - - they usually sell at more competitive prices than elsewhere in Europe. This is certainly true compared to Belgium and France. E.g. the Minilux sells in Germany for a little over 1,000 DEM while the going price in Belgium is still around 1,500 DEM. Go figure. Check out the following dealers: - - Foto Hobby in Frankfurt at http://www.foto-hobby.de (Nicolas Uhl) - - Leica bei Meister at http://www.leicabeimeister.com (Martin Meister) I have excellent experiences with both of them. They ship worldwide and are also reliable in case of equipment malfunctioning and returns.
