Used camera stores and repair

[vanyagor]

I have a couple of questions to all of you 🙂

1. Could you please name a few good online stores (preferable in US) that sell used photographic equipment? (In particular I'm interested in Leica LTM and M type and Contax type cameras and their copies) Which one is your favourite? Are their any cheap ones?

2. Same for repair services.

3. Do you happen to know any stores/repair centers located in Twin Cities area (Minneapolis, Saint Paul)?

Thanks.

I use Essex Camera in NJ for repairs and am very happy with them. I believe they are also recommended by the US Leica Collectors Society.

Most of your larger camera stores sell used equipment. B&H, Adorama, KEH, to name a few. Go on their websites, and a little juggling around will get you to the "used" section.

It's hard to say that many other metropolitan areas have what NY City does. I lived in the Los Angeles area for nearly 40 years, and at least nowadays the 'pickings' are rather slim on used equipment. Samy's may be about the best bet around L.A.
