Leica in NY, NY


Recommended Posts

There's the Leica Gallery in Manhattan, on Lower Broadway. It's right near Chinatown and you can walk downtown for 10 minutes and have a good lunch when you finish looking. There's usually something somewhat interesting on display. On the same floor, there is a Leica dealer.

 

Leica Camera AG - Culture - Gallery New York

 

You might want to go to Adorama camera store. They usually have a reasonable stock of Leica stuff.

 

Digital cameras, all other cameras and everything photographic from Adorama Camera

 

Unfortunately, the days of the many enormous, well-stocked used camera stores on Camera Row is in the past. The internet killed them off. Nothing remains.

 

There used to be "camera fairs" in Manhattan which were huge swap meets with hundreds of dealers. These are also dead for the most part. There hasn't been one in years.

Photo Village and Kurland are small showrooms and may have some more esoteric or hard-to-find items. B&H and Adorama are quite large operations with extensive inventories of used Leica bodies, lenses and other related items. If there's something specifically you're looking for you might check all their websites for what's available before dropping by. I happened to visit Kurland Photo today (wonderfully helpful and informed folks) and their inventory of used M equipment was very thin.

the above suggestions, especially kurland and the leica gallery (they are next to each other(. willoughbys on 5th avenue and 32nd st is an official leica shop, as you will see, and they often have more stock than anyone else -- much of it not listed on line. b and h is probably the most fun place to go simply because of its size, although its leica stock is somewhat limited. b and h and adorama are closed on saturday and close early on friday to observe the sabbath. enjoy your visit, a great town to take pictures in.

While involving a side trip to adjacent Connecticut, you might consider making an appointment to visit Tamarkins. He may have the largest stock of Leica stuff around, and he will not sell defective cameras/accessories. Stan Tamarkin may be trusted. Enjoy your trip, ron:)
