IMO, for "Leica specialist" I understand people as Robert White, Ffordes, Leicashop, Leicabeimeister... in UE, or as mentioned Keh, Photo Village, B&H, I've never purchased nothing on Kbcamera, Popflash or Vuelux, but I think that these ones could be considered too as Leica Specialists. In Paris La Maison de Leica is a nice shop too, as well the one on Nice, but IMO French prices are expensive. I have bought several things of second hand or demo, in really mint - as new - condition on Robert White and Leicashop, for this reason I think there are good specialists, because they have a large choice.
