Len, There are a whole cluster of camera shops in the south Bloomsbury area around the British Museum. Right next to the museum is a place called Pied Bull Yard which contains three-ish classic camera dealers and a Canon dealer. A nice place to wander because they are almost like musuems themselves, but they will open the cabinets and let you hold them. Slightly (10 mins walk) further south on (I think) New Oxford Street there is a large Jessops which has both amateur and pro gear and another similar large camera shop on the other side of the road (name anyone??) in direct competition. There was a fair bit of Pentax in both when I last looked. A good bet is to pick up a copy of 'Amateur Photographer' in a newsagents when you get here - there will be adverts galore in the back from London shops. Chris PS don't forget to pop into the British Museum and see the Great Court. Worth 30 mins of anyone's time and free! Plus photogpaphy is allowed. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
