I've had a store account with them for 25 years and they are the greatest. 290 California St. Go there and ask for Jeff Alford. Jeff is off on Fridays. As far as prices, retail dealers charge the same Leica prices. You can get 10% off during Leica Days at a dealer hosting Leica Days. Look on the Leica-usa web site for a schedule. For you Hasselblad folks however, KSP charges pure net. They do not advertise Hass (MAP) and make the profit on the backend from Hass directly.
