...is Westbahnstrasse, because not only is the Museum of Cameras and Photography in that street, but so are two or three other photography shops. United Camera seems to be selling even more film, paper, chemistry, etc than on my previous trip two years ago. There is another place on the same side of the street, a bit further west whose name escapes me, and they too are still selling a lot of film, chemistry, etc. There is also the Leica shop next to the camera museum. Knips on Stiftgasse seems to have virtually disappeared, but last time I checked, they seemed to be following the d****al revolution. I bought 170 sheets of Rollei vintage 311 and 312 from United, plus a wooden box of 12 Rollei Retro 400 120 rolls.
 
I have been to Wien many times. It is one of my favourite cities. But when I went there I did not go to buy cameras. I went there armed with plenty of film to take pictures!!! In fact, I never had much time to shop.
