The best source for used and exotic Leica stuff in the Boston vicinity is New England Photo in Arlington Center, where Ara will be extra nice to you if you tell him your other love is a Ferrari. Park Square has the best stock of new Leica gear and seems able to get the rarest new lens faster than anyone. All shops charge exactly the same prices. Levine's hasn't been a good Leica dealer in many, many years. The closest good source of Film for you would be Zeff on Blanchard Road nigh the Belmont/Cambridge border. Stay the hell away from Hunts. Rearing my head again after two or so years...

A gathering would give me an excuse to get out of the sticks. Is Levine's still around? Any reasonably priced film sources in the Boston area?
