Official ZM Vendors in the U.S.

[mbisc]

At the risk of asking a FAQ, which of the usual suspects are actually official ZM vendors, as opposed to "grey market" importers? I think B&H is actually just a grey market vendor, but I'm not sure. 😕

With some of the rangefinder adjustment issues that have been reported, I just want to make sure that I buy an "official" Zeiss Ikon camera, once I do the big jump...

TIA,
Mike

Maybe this "Find Distributors" link on Zeiss website http://www.zeiss.com/photo helps you:

"B&H Photo & Video" seems to be on that list.

Its been my experience that B and H will tell you what is grey market and what is a USA product. They have nothing to lose.
Another option is Matsuiya in Japan, I bought my ZM body from him on ebay and the price and service were great. I had a viewfinder alignment issue in mine and he offered to pay for the adjustment here in NYC.
I'm a long-time Leica M user and the ZM is a great camera. The AE is addictive.
