[Leica] Camera store in Santa Fe

[jsmith342 at cox.net (Jeffery Smith)]

I'm going to have to practice cajoling them into hand-inspecting it. I tried
once at the airport in Seattle and they detained me long enough to separate
me from the rest of my party. Their strategy worked. I haven't asked for
hand inspection since then.

I would phone first to make sure they carry stock. Why not even pay  
for it in advance and have them hold it for you. There may be a run  
on the stuff what with all the Leica loons coming to town.

I always request a hand inspection of my film in the US and Canada  
and have not been refused yet. They try to dissuade you, especially  
with slow film, but I just explain how many different times my film  
will pass through screening and they relent.
