If you haven’t noticed yet, prices of photo gear have been going up for a while now and will continue to do so as the industry continue to shrink. If you are planning to buy a new Leica camera, lens or accessory, I recommend you place an order before the end of this month:

• B&H
• Adorama
• PopFlash
• Leica Boutique Palm Beach
• Leica Store San Francisco
• Leica Store Miami
• Tamarkin
• Classic Connection
• Ken Hansen
