Also try ImagePoint, on St. Catherine street east of Crescent. Really nice people there, some of whom are regular Leica shooters themselves. Greg is right, Simon's used prices aren't that competitive. It's worth visiting if you like getting attitude while you window shop - it's one-liner heaven there. > >While you're in the city, wander over to McGill College street and walk north from St. Catherine street. There is a large-scale exhibit of photographs currently on display outside called "Les Faiseurs de Paix / Protecting Peace" featuring the work of seven Canadian photojournalists and documenting the work of peacekeepers and aid workers in hotspots around the globe. Two of the photogs used Leicas (to keep this O/T!), including me. My pics are the ones from Bolivia. Don't hesitate to drop me a line while you're here (email off-list for contact info). Montreal is a great city! > >You may also want to visit BloWup Photogalerie, where they are presenting a more intimate series of photos from the same set of assignments.
