Most of these sellers are from Singapore. It’s easy to meet, try and transact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 Hi rramesh, Take a look here Used Leica lenses in New York. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
rsolomon Posted March 12, 2023 Share #22 Posted March 12, 2023 New York has a relatively large number of dealers , with that ,I don't think you will find a large used inventory in one concentrated place but spread out . There won't be any bargains unless you buy from someone who doesn't understand what they are selling - which is probably not a good idea. I have only bought one used lens, online from Popflash and was very happy..... I familiar with just about all the dealers in Manhattan , nobody worthwhile is giving Leica lens away below market value. Expect a price of about $500 below new for a current version of a lens in mint/mint - condition Good luck, I hope you prove me wrong and get a spectacular deal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkmoore Posted March 13, 2023 Share #23 Posted March 13, 2023 BH and Adorama are super fun too look around but their prices are a little high. They often have vintage lenses. Leica store SoHo is a solid spot. Prices are ok. They will have some vintage lenses from time to time. You would have to drive or cab from the city but Bergen County Camera, in NJ, is awesome as well. They post their used inventory online and often have vintage lenses.

I think of these leica Soho is best for a visitor….. the area itself is a great ‘street shots’ venue, tons of other galleries or retail, some great restaurants, bakeries, bookstores. I. In that general area most weekends- it’s a fun part of the city 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymc226 Posted March 16, 2023 Share #25 Posted March 16, 2023 Why not buy from Hong Kong before your trip? They have had good pricing for both new and used Leica gear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexGig0 Posted March 16, 2023 Share #26 Posted March 16, 2023 The combined Sales and Use Taxes in NYC are 8.875%, which is quite a big bite, for anyone planning to shop for bargains, or anything else, in NYC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobey bilek Posted March 19, 2023 Share #28 Posted March 19, 2023 I purchased a 90 2.0 APO from a Leica Store Boston. Older non marked camera ID but otherwise perfect. $3200. New is $5000 ++. I consider that a good deal. Also a M10 grip for half the new price and it was also perfect Leica Store Boston, Washington DC, Miami are corporate stores and there are others.

LINHOF_ Posted March 27 Share #29 Posted March 27 K&M on 54 Orchard St is a good place for used camera. Forget about getting a bargain lens in New York. Higher chance you'll find one in Hong Kong. I think it is worth checking out the gallery at the new Leica Store in Chelsea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brown Posted March 27 Share #30 Posted March 27 Whatever I bought from NYC I got at B&H, here and there some items are priced really well - like this LHSA M6 TTL in black paint.

Are there shops in the city where I can find pre owned/used Leica lenses? Hoping to pick up a 50mm for my M240. Thank you https://www.kenhansennyc.com is probably still the one with the largest stock, and emailing or calling is probably the easiest way to find a gem. The new Leica Store Meatpacking District on W 13rd St have second-hand and limited editions, and so does the Leica Store Soho. I also think BH Photo have quite a flow going through, so once in a while you find something really special that nobody seems to have noticed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lived there, and in recent years back and forth working / visiting, I hated that place. It's like a Walmart but noisier and ruder...............Would rather take a dental appointment.

But they still are the the largest non-chain camera store in the US. And they still carry hard to find shit at awesome prices. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, why would you go into a camera store looking for a best friend?.............Many people in the biz I know/knew in NY/US browsed B+H and yes some bargains were found and gear bought but I couldn't, the place gives me a headache. For my cine needs, cameras, lenses et-al I've always gone through one firm, Abel Cine in NY, friends and colleagues for close to three decades and I guess I spent more than a couple of nice sailboats or maybe a house's worth with them over time. Probably would have saved some by shopping at B+H but personal / professional long term relationships mean much more to me. Same with stills "stuff", amongst others I used Stan Tamarkin when he was in NYC then followed Dan when he moved the firm to Chicago........Now in Europe I shop at one Leica Store 600kms from me, another Leica and Nikon store "only" 200kms from me hardly convenient but they know me well so I stick with them and for used stills gear I go to Jo Greier first to try to find what I am looking for. I vastly prefer dealing with small firms, for personal or professional needs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelu2010 Posted March 29 Share #36 Posted March 29 Hey , maybe it’s just fun to look around and look for opportunities. then there is the vast amount of gear. and if the dealer gives a warranty, then it’s ok to pay a little more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
