steve_levine Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 You cant even get good pizza in Albany! I doubt there are any Leica dealers there? Best bet is to mail order, or go to NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_levine Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 On the other hand,3 hrs via AMTRAK is Manhattan!And its got very good pizza,Chinese,Japanese,Thai,Greek,Itailian, etc,etc. Also there are some great camera stores. However, in the EBAY world we now live in, retail camera shopping has changed.Little hole in the wall camera shops, now have international clients. I cant suggest any bargain priced places in NYC, but I can tell you a few shops that know their stuff.Email or ask here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolfe_tessem Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 The bigger question is how to get through college without decent pizza :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve g Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Agreed. They do however have cheap pizza to make up for the lack of quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Henryk, Since the closing of Reale's in Schenectady the Albany area is left pretty much helpless as far as Leica is concerned. There is a new Leica dealer in Glenville (just north of Scotia)at a film processing store whose name I have forgotten. The camera department there is run by a nice guy named Steve who use to work at Reale's. Unfortunately the last time I looked several months ago he did not carry any Leica stock at all and would only be able to order items from Leica. As I remember there was another dealership listed for South Glens Falls but I have no knowledge of it. You may be able to obtain the name of both of the above locations here: http://www.leica-camera.com/markt/adressen/usa/index_e.html As mentioned in previous post your best bet is to travel to NYC or maybe Newtonville camera just west of Boston.

ed_balko3 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 There is a medium-sized camera show held in Albany, usually in April. This will probably be the best selection of second-hand Leica gear in the Albany area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_balko3 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Steve Gomes is about 30 years too late I'm afraid. During the 1960's and 1970's, Troy Camera had quite a nice selection of Leica equipment for its size. Prices tended to be better than NYC too. Albany Camera, then on State Street, was about as good.
