Gassers' isnt' bad, there is a guy there named Jim Weaver who knows
Leica pretty well and runs their Used Leica department. If you can get
past his rough exterior, he's rather nice and willing to help. Stay away
from Looking Glass, Peter, the owner is a shark. (They charge a fee for
using a credit card, which is against the CC Companies rules but he
skates past it claiming that his stuff is alredy discounted for cash..
Which is BS... (He's right on par or even a little more expensive then
most stores in the area)

I agree that K&S and Pardees are the best bets here in the Bay Area.

There is also Elmwood Camera on College Avenue between Berkeley and
Rockridge.. They occasionally get in some good stuff. 

Another good choice is Calumet here in SF on Bryannt and 19th. They have
a teriffic staff and are willing to work with you.. They are geared
towards pros so you don't have a lot of mom and pops going in there to
waste time looking at some crappy yashica p&s :)

I can't say I recommend Gasser's, but you could check there and at
Photographers Supply.  There is a place in Berkeley called the Looking
Glass, but call ahead to see if they have what you want. There is also
East Bay Photo in Oakland that occasionally has great deals and they do
take trades, but call first. The best bet IMHO is Keeble and Shucat in
Palo Alto or Pardee's in Sacramento. Good luck! trish
