Hi huys, I am possibly going to do a deal on a new Leica lens, and was wanting to know if anyone has dealt with this company. Any comments please

I bought some filters for some lenses and got excellent service.

I bought some heliopan filters and a 35 'cron asph and was very pleased with the speed of service and the condition of the slightly used lens which was just as described.

Richard is an easy guy to deal with.

Have no fear.

Richard is a very nice guy. Our transaction was flawless. I'm sure we will do business again.

I purchased a 90 2.8 Tele-Elmarit M from one of his many eBay auctions. The lens had a couple of chips to the front element as if it had come in contact with a rough surface. Easy to see (and feel) and should have been mentioned in the item description. Really could not have been missed. I got a refund of the item amount but was out shipping cost both ways. Would not buy from him again, but most dealers do not do this sort of thing on a regular basis, I hope.

Great-looking deals and also a good web site. But, I was concerned about some of the deals I was offered as being a little too-good-to-be-true - so I checked with Leica NJ. Turns out that KB is not a Leica dealer and Leica Nj did not know from where they got their equipment. In the end I was able to get an equally good deal (financially) with a US warranty and first class service from Beverley Hills Camera (www.mrleica.com).

Hope this helps. Nigel Skeet (beverley Hills Camera) is a real enthusiast and is very knowledgeable.
