chris c Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 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....

jfm Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_hoffman Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caliber_60 Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 He is fine. I spent $1500 on him. I went to pick up the item myself in the expensive neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronlacy Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 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.
