As such, it may not be the greatest sight-seeing place. If you have time, a trip to Wetzlar (the original site of Leitz) and Solms (the current Leica Mecca, about 10 km from Wetzlar) may be worth it. Also, one of the best mail order dealers in the Leica world, Foto Hobby, is in Frankfurt. I have never been there in person, but have bought several things from them online. Their web site is www.foto-hobby.de. It may be worth a visit. And if you have spare cash, between the strong dollar and the fact that you can shop tax-free you should be able to find really good bargains.
