Used PL lens dealers in Los Angeles?

[powervideo]

I'm looking for any LA shop/dealers that sell used PL lenses or kits. I'm returning to Australia from a shoot tomorrow night and my DOP and I were interested in seeing some used PL's. Any advice appreciated.

Give Stuart at Focus Optics a call.

This is an old time camera shop where the guys do everything. Years ago they used to be by the Sony Studio, now they are in Marina Del Rey (just west of LA on the 10 fwy.) Contact George. http://www.opticalelectrohouse.com/forsale.htm

He's selling his shop so you might get some bargains. Damn maybe I should stop there on the way to my shoot tomorrow. LOL

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately I left my iphone at the location and had to drive all the way back to San Diego to get it; 6 hours round trip! I don't know how you guys cope with the SOCAL freeway traffic. By the time we got back it was a quick trip to Samy's Fairfax as they were closing then straight to the airport. Next time........

Did not know George was closing shop. He did a bunch of work on my film cams back in the day.

Rush hour traffic is the bane of my existance. If there's a job for a shooter with an F3 in Australia I'll gladly take it. Surely I have some skill that Austrailia would want to keep me. Have F3 will travel. LOL

(On a side note there is a Samy's in Santa Ana, about half way between the LA and San Diego.)
