Bessa in London ?

[Buze]

I'm going to the Big City this week, and I was wondering if there were any shops selling the CVs. I hear there are good second hand shops around but do any of these sell the "modern" cameras ? I /could/ fall for a R3A if one was presented to me 😀

Any interesting place to visit for seeing old classics too ?

The Classic Camera in Pied Bull Yard (off Bury Place) [http://www.theclassiccamera.com/] by the British Museum stock new Voigtlanders - at a price. You can also oggle the all the Leicas in their glass cases. Its more like a boutique than a camera shop...

Hi,
Robin Harrison here on the RFF was selling his R3a, not sure if it's still available but the price was on the button for the UK. Had to talk myself out of it.

Alex Faulk A.K.A Mr Cad's in Croyden, not really "central" but has 1000's of used gear and he was a CV dealer. Not sure if he still is as i've not been there for a while but a real treasure trove......

Aperture is worth a look. Not much CV in stock today, and no new stuff, but it's just such a cool shop, with a cafe attached. If you like Nikon, you'll love this place. On Museum Street, just round the corner from the Classic Camera. Fifty yards from the British Museum.

i have a bessa R coming in to me from singapore in a few days time. Should have it by sunday or monday. Do email me (szekiat@gmail.com) if you are keen. I have an extremely low reserve for this one. Bought it as a set cos i wanted the lenses. Can also link you up with a 50mm f2.5 to make a great starter/walking kit!
