Cardinal Camera Used — Local services in Lansdale

When I was there last, I was shocked to see that there Leica stuff was in the same space (open showroom) with lots of lenses that were plague with haze/fungus.

The camera kit arrived in beautiful condition. I’m over the moon with how much quality gear and knowledge I got from Tyler at such a wonderful value! I’ll be using Cardinal Camera used for anything else I can in the...
