Washington (state) Shops in Vancouver

[mr. matt]

Fellow Canadians...

I was wondering if anyone knew of any places in Vancouver to check out lenses? If it there are any places with a good selection of used lenses, all the better.

Thanks in advance.

Matt.

Leo's on Granville
Kerrisdale Cameras on 41st Ave

Those are my faves, but I'm not a brick and mortar guy any more 🙂

I've been into Leo's once and they have a lot of the CV/ZM lenses and are more than happy to let you try out anything.

I recommend Leo's as well. There are others, but the guys at Leo's are at the top of the game. Ask Photogdave, as I think he deals with a number of the others.

The only problem I find with Leo's is that their used Leica prices are high, higher than Kerriesdale's 41st street store. That said I think both these are the only stores with used Leica stuff. Lens & Shutter carries no used of any kind. Not sure about Beau Photo.

Beau Photo does have some used Leica stuff - I was in there the other week and they had an M3/50 Summicron package.
I don't find Leo's used Leica prices to be out of line compared to what I see elsewhere and on RFF. Some lucky guy got a 35 Summicron V4 for about $400 there recently. Wish it was me...
