tonytree Posted July 17, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 17, 2009 The shop closed some years ago. It was run by Derek Grossmark a Leica and vintage car enthusiast. I think it was sold or franchised and did open briefly after a rebuild, A lovely gallery was built downstairs and the shop was a delight. But it did not last. Many years ago !970s ? I took my Pentax in for repair and was told it was a 'mere toy'. I did cast away 'childish things' and moved on to Nikons and was given a bit more of a welcome. Sadly their are few camera shops of that calibre any more. In Brighton we have a fine second hand shop Clock Tower Cameras and a Jessops . The in house Leica Repair Mechanic - Bar None- Malcom Taylor is still in business and working his magic. tony tree Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
summarod Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted July 17, 2009 Yes it was a wonderful shop, with lots of vintage Leicas. I remember a Giant Dummy Leica if my memoriy doesn`t fool me. I brought a well used almost battered M4 there for complete service, they did a great job! Best regards Wolfhard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
