Anyone here have any experience of a Leica dealer called Sam Shoshan, trading as "Classic Connection" from Fairfield CT?

 

Thanks

Not personally, but in the past he was regarded very well by other folks who purchasd from him.

I purchased a used 135/3.4-M APO with no problems.

I bought something from him a year or two ago, and was very satisfied with the transaction. Can't remember, though, what it was.... Certainly a Leica-M lens, but, which one... i dunno.

An excellent trader to work with.

I have purchased some small items and the transaction went well. Accurate descriptions and prompt shipping is all I can say.

I purchased a minty 105 nikkor for my S3 and a new A La Carte MP from him and have had nothing but great dealings with him. I also discussed a used 250 GG that he had and he went out of his way to provide photographs in detail. Sam is a good man and fair to deal with.

I've bought one lens from him and had no problems whatsoever.

Just to update this -

 

after being reassured by your feedback here, I bought some classic 500 series Hasselblad parts from Sam. They were sent UPS from the USA to Cornwall, and arrived on Saturday with no problems. The parts were as described, and at a fair price. Sam is OK

I bought an M6 (my first Leica purchase) from Sam and after the first week of use, the film advance jammed. I emailed Sam and within 24 hours he had set up a direct communication with Dan from DAG to have the camera repaired at no cost. After 2 weeks, my camera was back in my possession with a note from Dan saying that he had fixed the jam (loose screw) and that he had also performed an inspection to verify the camera was in good working condition. 

 

I highly recommend Classic Connection.

I had two recent transactions with Sam (a new M-P 240 and a new 75/2) and both were exemplary.  Highly recommended!
