[Leica] San Francisco

Wayne and Charcot,
?
I agree. We went to Gasser's about 6 or 8 months ago. The used gear was in 
cardboard boxes; they're now selling mostly N and C digital at full retail. 
Not worth the time.
?
In addition to the Academy of Science there is also the DeYoung Museum which 
has an amazing exhibit of glass sculptures by Chihuly. A friend of mine who 
works at Keeble and Shuchat, Ed Clarke, ?(former Leicaphile) took some 
incredibly beautiful photos here:

There's a great Farmer's Market on the warf, though I don't know if they 
will be open on Thanksgiving. Also, if you want a non-tourist shot of the GG 
Bridge, the view from Baker Beach is nice. This time of year with the sun 
setting to the south the light may not be the best.
?
Shots of Victorian architecture, Alta Plaza at Clay and Pierce looking south 
is a well known shot. The neighborhood is wonderful to walk around with lots 
of old SF Mansions. 

Enjoy. It's?one of the great walking cities...
Best,
Bob

Charcot,

Gasser's isn't what it used to be... in my opinion it's not worth the 
effort.? However, down the peninsula in Palo Alto there is Keeble & Shuchat 
Photography.? It is worth the trip.

Regards,

Wayne
