Recommended dealers for Canon RF?

[mani]

Probably a stupid question and one that Google should have unearthed, but for all my searching I haven't uncovered any particular online dealer that has a reasonable selection of Canon rangefinder cameras. Is there anyone out there who specializes or who happens to have a good range of equipment, as good examples seem much harder to find than with Leica cameras?

Leicashop in Vienna is your best bet within EU, I think. If you are after something specific you might want to contact Japancamerahunter (see ads here in RF). Another good Canon RF source is a seller by the name "jiri_e" in the *Bay.

Thanks for the reminder about Japancamerahunter - I'd forgotten that source. I've bought a lot of stuff over the years from Leicashop, but in this case I wasn't overly impressed by their Canon RF selection - but that seems to be the rule rather than the exception with the Canon 7 in Europe. 🙁

In the US try igorcameras.com. You can also try kevincameras.com. The prices can be negotiated sometimes. At least with Kevin you know exactly what you are getting.

Well, in the US you can add Pacific Rim Camera. I know one of the owners is a Canon afficianado. They had a real glut of Canon rangefinder recently, but their selection is beginning to thin as people scoop up some nice items. Being more aware and appreciative of Canon rangefinder, they tend to have inventory. Prices are what I call "used retail", but still usually much cheaper than Kevin's Cameras (for the same item/condition/etc). Nice guys too. I like to call or stop in and have a pleasant chat.
