Fellow Canadians...
I was wondering if anyone knew of any places in Vancouver to check out lenses? If it there are any places with a good selection of used lenses, all the better.
Thanks in advance.
Matt.

At the beginning again.
Leo's on Granville
Kerrisdale Cameras on 41st Ave
Those are my faves, but I'm not a brick and mortar guy any more

I've been into Leo's once and they have a lot of the CV/ZM lenses and are more than happy to let you try out anything.

I recommend Leo's as well. There are others, but the guys at Leo's are at the top of the game. Ask Photogdave, as I think he deals with a number of the others.

The only problem I find with Leo's is that their used Leica prices are high, higher than Kerriesdale's 41st street store. That said I think both these are the only stores with used Leica stuff. Lens & Shutter carries no used of any kind. Not sure about Beau Photo.

Beau Photo does have some used Leica stuff - I was in there the other week and they had an M3/50 Summicron package.
I don't find Leo's used Leica prices to be out of line compared to what I see elsewhere and on RFF. Some lucky guy got a 35 Summicron V4 for about $400 there recently. Wish it was me...
