I will be in london on a sunday in january, from the states. I am looking for some lessons or perhaps some specific Leica help. I am an advanced beginner, and will have the M9 and 50 lux asph. Are there professional teachers in london?

Call or email Leica - Mayfair, they run one day workshops and seminars as part of their Leica Academy for Leica owners.

 

You will probably find Sunday a difficult day to get anyone though... Tends to be a 'day off' here in the UK for most people (if they have a choice!).

 

Worth asking though.

 

If they don't, they may well know someone they could connect you with.

 

Alternatively, one of the independent Leica stores may be able to help or suggest someone. Try Red Dot Cameras or RG Lewis.

 

You will find them if you google Leica stores in London.

If you are only in London for one day, I would choose maybe 3 or 4

Sights from the many hundreds in and around London and just go take pictures. Read up and practice with your M9 before you arrive. London is a real busy city, a tripod is not something I recommend for the busy areas. There are lots of brick walls to stand your camera on for time exposures and self timer shots. Take spare batteries and a spare SD card. This link may help:-
