Used in the U.K.

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

Hi Folks,

I am planning to be in the Birmingham area of the U.K. during Christmas week. Can anyone out there advise me of local camera stores that carry/sell used Leica stuff.

Regards and blessings for the holiday season.

If nobody comes up with a better answer: Buy Amateur Photography magazine. It contains a lot of ads from resellers all over the UK.

If you can make it down to London (there's a fast train), there are a couple of shops that specialise in Leica:

and several others that carry some s/h Leica stuff, including:

A slight correction to Xavier's post - the name of the magazine is 'Amateur Photographer':

Hmm, looks like I should have inserted some blank lines between the URLs...

Alan, I agree regarding the magazine AP. Look out for: Fieldgrass and Gale; Quiggs of Glasgow; MXV; Richard Caplan; Ffordes; and Hove Cameras to name a few. I have dealt very satisfactorially with all these companies.

Sorry to say none of these are in Birmingham, but all do fast mail order!

A leica brummie here, Jacobs on Corporation Street and Jessops which is just off Corporation St (by Rackhams Dept. Store) both sell some second hand Leica stuff. If your not familar with the area Corporation St. is right in the centre of Birmingham
