timbedsted1234 Posted March 4, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 4, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello I am going on a trip to Texas and thought I would take advantage of the recent devaluation of the dollar vis a vis euro:p Do any of you guys know where to get Leica stuff in Texas? Thanks, Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent M10 Posted March 4, 2008 Share #2 Posted March 4, 2008 There are only two places that I know of: Cooter's Camera in Dallas and Precision Camera in Austin. I've been to Cooter's. Not a heck of a lot of Leica stuff. Though I live in Dallas, I buy all my stuff from B&H Photo and avoid the taxes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
styx Posted March 5, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 5, 2008 If you are in Houston try Houston Camera Exchange Welcome to Houston Camera Exchange Rudy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronazle Posted March 5, 2008 Share #4 Posted March 5, 2008 Make advance arrangements to buy from Stan Tamarkin in Connecticut and have him ship it overnight, tax free to your temporary lodgings in Texas. By making advance arrangements, whatever you want will be waiting for you, ready to ship. Thats what I would do and I live in Texas. regards, ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leitz_not_leica Posted March 5, 2008 Share #5 Posted March 5, 2008 Asking for a shop in Texas is like asking for one in France...same size. In Houston, HCE is one (little or no new Leica stock), the Camera Coop. (no new Leica stock) is another. Many merchants will not ship to an address other than the billing address. There are other ways to pay, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffry Abt Posted March 5, 2008 Share #6 Posted March 5, 2008 Houston Camera Exchange is a great place! They earned my trust a long time ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnastovall Posted March 5, 2008 Share #7 Posted March 5, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm a Texan and I can tell you there's no place for finding Leica equipment. As others have mentioned Cooter's in Dallas or Precsion in Austin. I buy all my equipment from Popflash or B&H on the net. And it's shame to for once Dallas had Marlowe's Cameras. A major Leica store where I was infected with the Leica virus for life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wordwaster Posted March 6, 2008 Share #8 Posted March 6, 2008 The Camera Exchange in San Antonio has a good bit of used Leica equipment. I don't recall any new stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston Camera Exchange had some new M8's when I was there about a month ago they also have M8 batteries and some lenses I got a wonderful 200 mm Telyt f4.5 for the Viso there the Camera Coop does not have new Leica equipment, but does have a small number of used lens ...I stumbled across a 90 Summicron II which I got for a bargain price there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted March 6, 2008 Share #10 Posted March 6, 2008 There are only two places that I know of: Cooter's Camera in Dallas and Precision Camera in Austin. I've been to Cooter's. Not a heck of a lot of Leica stuff. Though I live in Dallas, I buy all my stuff from B&H Photo and avoid the taxes. Cooter's also goes by the name Village Camera to the locals Don't agree about the inventory; they've always had gobs of stuff when I was shopping at their store However, it's been two or three years since I've been in there; maybe they've cut back, but they used to have lots of new and used in the glass case at the front of the store BTW, they do have a website: Cooter's Village Camera Best thing about going to Highland Park Village (which is the shopping center) is having lunch at Pacific Cafe right around the corner!!!
