[Leica] paris leica

[Guy Bennett <guybnt@idt.net>]

better yet for leica in paris, try la maison du leica (52 bd beaumarchais).
new stuff is pricey, compared to the us, but used and sm stuff is
relatively inexpensive.

also, with the dollar at more than 7 francs and climbing, there may be many
a good deal to be had.
