I know many on the forum are already aware of a few of the better Grey Leica dealers. <P>Many are located in Hong Kong and offer excellent service to go along with great prices. <P> I wanted to suggest those who may be in the market for Grey market Leica try Tony Rose @ Popflash Photo. He is located in California so getting stuff is fast and he has prices in line with the best Hong Kong dealers.<P> The best part is that you can call him and he has opinions based on real world experience and not always leading you to the most expensive choices. <P> I have spent several thousand $$$ with him and he has been as responsive on a $50 filter as he is with a $2000 body. <P> for those interested he lists @ E-Bay under "Meleica" and has had a few of the more hard to find Leica items (1.25 multi). <P> His shop number is 805-492-6548 e-mail: leicashop@hotmail.com <P> Sorry if this is out of place at this forum but this is where I go if I want to know something so....
I second this motion. I have dealt with Tony often. A great guy, and opinions are always based upon experience, not making money. thanks, jm
As I've mentioned many times here, Tony Rose in Los Angeles is a great guy and sells Hasselblad and Leica at rock bottom Hong Kong prices; and for me, he's local (no shipping charges)! :^) www.stevehoffman.tv
I'll also put in a good word for Tony. I spent over $4000 with him and everything has gone as it should. He is responsive, knowledgable, fair, and will let you know his opinion of equipment--I appreciated that too. I think Tony is someone you should talk to about camera equipment. Ron
