Camera collectors and retailers have been asked to be on the lookout for offers of cheap Leica camera gear after a leading UK camera dealership was burgled.
Ffordes Photographic, based near Inverness in Scotland and a large quantity of Leica film and digital cameras, lenses and accessories were stolen.
