A short while ago someone posted a thread asking for details of used camera shops in Europe that had pictures of their stock online.

I've tried to find the thread, but not being very good with computers couldn't, so just thought I'd mention that Peter Loy in the UK has revamped his website and now has pictures. Peter has been trading a long time, is well respected and deals internationally. He often has a large number of classic Leica items in stock.

His website is here:

Gotta say, that site looks the works!

And, it's much faster too now.


I recently bought Hartmut Thiele's book on Zeiss production from Peter Loy and it landed on my doorstep in several days only.


Since I don't know the thread the OP mentioned either, I'm posting a similar suggestion here: mkoptics.net, Dutch shop run by Maarten Kleijwegt. Bought my M2 from this fellow in Rotterdam two months ago and it was a great deal in all respects.
 
Has anyone experience with Peter Loy?

I've used him a number of times in the past and have always found him to be knowledgeable, prompt, reliable and to stand by what he sells. In addition the items I received were all graded very conservatively.

If you google his name, you'll find many recommendations for him on different forums.

I have bought two Leica screwmount bodies from Peter Loy within the last year and a half or so. I would agree with John above that the items are conservatively graded. A fault did develop in the first of the two bodies within the guarantee period but Peter Loy immediately agreed that I should send it to the repairer that he works with (Newton Ellis) at his expense. The camera was repaired with no quibbling and has now done sterling service. The quality of customer service is excellent in my opinion and I will have no hesitation in buying from him in the future. I have no connection with him, other than as a content customer.
 
Peter Loy is a great chap. He often comes to camera fairs - very knowledgeable and great to deal with. I bought a Minolta CLE, various books and some Rolleiflex stuff from him recently.

Bought a number of items from Peter in the past, top notch personal service and as said he knows his stuff too which is great.

He often has those little bits & pieces you just can't find elsewhere and if you do find it on eBay it's usually dearer. Can't go wrong & the new pictures make finding the right bits so much easier to. 🙂
