rob,
also live in nyc, at least for the next month, and problem is that most places
here are just interested in selling
cameras. maybe i have found one or two that would really talk to me at length.
the other problem is that if i go and
don't buy, they tend to remember me. not hard to remember a short asian. i
have found a few friends here. one, is the
rollei TLR expert of B&H who knows enough about oly to be willing let you
handle the cameras that they have. go look for
gerry hughes, he usually stands on the right side of the used camera counter
when facing the counter. tall guy with
glasses. the other guy who stands beside him with the beret and is on the
healthy side is also helpfull, goes by the
name of ari randazzo. i've been able to get great camera's from them. one was a
mint OM-3 in a box!! tell gerry i sent
you. hope this helps.
