BPW Ltd.
Some pictures and brief descriptions of various Russian cameras.
No representation is made here concerning the honesty or reliability of any dealer listed below. While many do not list Russian Leica copies on their website, I have had reports that everyone listed below may have 35mm cameras or, more frequently, lenses available. You may want to inquire before you write them off your list. Photo Arsenal, Vintage Cameras and Jessops do seem to have quite a few Russian LTM items at all times. In addition, many of the big name used camera dealers now have Russian LTM items from time to time. See JEFF ABRO'S USED CAMERAS LIST for a comprehensive listing of dealers.
Vintage Cameras Limited (England)
I cannot personally vouch for these repair sources, but I have received positive comments from others.
