didier Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Dear all, I am going to spend the next week-end in London. I'd like to pay a visit to some reputable dealer (looking for used equipment mainly or any good deal). Can you advise me about where to go? (1 or 2 shops) Thanks Didier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul t Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 <p>MW classic - vistis by appointment, they are well regarded and not as overpirced as most:</p> <p>http://www.mwclassic.com/</p> <p>Red Dot cameras is on Old Street. I\ve bought good items from this gent when he had a stall in Brick Lane:</p> <p>http://www.reddotcameras.co.uk/about_us.php</p> <p>Plus there are many dealers worth checking out around the Brisith Museum, altho you'll be lucky to find bargains. The Aperture Café is good for coffee & cake:<br> http://www.apertureuk.com/about.htm</p> <p>enjoy the trip!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Williams Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 <p>Other dealers near Aperture and the British Museum include:<br> http://www.rglewis.co.uk/<br> http://www.theclassiccamera.com/<br> They are so close together you can easily do these two and Aperture in short order, and probably have time to check out a nearby non-specialist dealer that often carries secondhand Leica:<br> http://www.jacobsdigital.co.uk/index.php?target=pages&page_id=stores&storeid=10</p> <p>Elsewhere, I would suggest:<br> http://www.richardcaplan.co.uk/<br> (when I was shopping for an M6, these guys had the best one I could find for the price).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_lawrence4 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 <p>Just another thumbs up for Richard Caplan, always had great items from him and well priced too!</p> <p>You may also like to try Peter Loy as well. Primarily he deals by mail order, but you can make an appointment to view items at his London base. His website (with stock list) is here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.peterloy.com">www.peterloy.com</a></p> <p>Have a good trip,</p> <p>John</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didier Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thank you very much for your answers. I will be checking a few of those shops tomorrow! Didier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardMiller Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 <p>Darn! Sorry this is a bit late, but if you're ever back in South London, a trip down to the Croydon High Street is definitely worth your time. Reg Roach, the engaging proprietor of High Street Radio (<a href="http://www.croydonphotocentre.co.uk">croydonphotocentre.co.uk</a> on the Web), always has plenty of nice Leica gear at good prices. Plus he'll no doubt share some interesting tales and a cup of coffee if you pop in and hang out with the regulars for a bit.<br> One of London's best (and most overlooked!) source of Leica cameras, lenses--and the little odd bits that everyone needs.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
