Nikon Heaven

[Terrence Brennan]

I thought I'd show you Nikon freaks out there that we're not such such a backward country in Britain

Who said that Britain was a backward country?

LOL
Who said it wasn't?

Not like any camera shop I've ever been in!

 

[IloveTLRs]

I didn't see any Nikon RF gear (maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.)

Looks like the kinda place where a creepy guy in a suit would stare you down as you look at the equipment. Has some cool looking stuff, but not my cup of tea!

 

[Jeff Kubach]

That is a hell of a camera shop! I wish there was one like that around where I live.

I've never been to the shop Jeff but I did meet the owner Grey Levitt at a trade show in my area called Photography at work several years ago.

It is, and they are quite disdainful if you are looking for anything under a serious amount of money. I was very unimpressed with it when I went there from a customer service point of view.

I did a double take of the exterior, because that looks exactly like my bicycle chained to the pole out on the pavement! I don't recall seeing anyone with a tripod set up out front on any of my (rare) visits--they *do* seem just a bit hoity-toity for a scruffy fellow like me--but, damn if that isn't my set of wheels out front, someone's got its identical twin.

Fancy place. Quite a collection, but expensive I'm sure! I've seen some comparable shops in Hong Kong.

They are expensive devela, but the shop is in the middle of London's Mayfair some of the most expensive realestate in the World, and they do have some very rare items in mint condition you would have difficulty finding anyware else.

Their grading descriptions are accurate in my experience. I've bought several items from them over the years and their 'mint' condition examples really are what they say. My last purchase here was a 16mm 'ai' fisheye lens which I was looking out for a long time as it has built-in filters, and Grays had one in absolutely perfect condition.

Not the cheapest place in the world admittedly, and I don't get to go down to London very often, but I'd highly recommend a visit here if you are a Nikon user and are in the area. It's more like an old-fashioned shop rather than a modern high street store.
