Photo stores in Berlin / Ich suche Fotoläden in Berlin

[Emil]

Hello,

I am so fortunate to be taking a vacation in Berlin for the easter. Since everything is both more available and cheaper in Germany compared to here (Denmark), I will try to stock up on different kinds of film, and perhaps look for a used lens for my (Olympus) camera.

Any recommendations for a good store, that carries film and second hand?

Thank you

I apologize, if this has been asked before, I could not find a thread about it.

And here we go, murdering the German language (I am sorry):

Guten Tag

Weil ich bin in Berlin nächsten Woche, suche ich ein Laden, die hat Filme und vielleicht second-hand Kamera-zubehör. Hat jemand ein vorslag, würde ich sehr froh werden.

Vielen Dank

Emil

Hi Emil,

what about fotoimpex?
Monochrom may be interesting especially for archiving and presentation supplies. Both do not trade with used stuff though. One dealer I know selling used gear is in Kantstraße near Kurfürstendamm but I don't remember the name. I am sure residents will tell you more.

I would also have mentioned Fotoimpex and Monochrom for film. Fotoimpex is generally cheaper and has more choice for films, though Monochrom has some things they don't have.

For a used lens you may try Wüstefeld (Schloßstraße at Steglitz and Grolmannstraße at Charlottenburg).

Note that shops will be closed on Good Friday, Sunday and Easter Monday. Fotoimpex is only open from 12 am to 8 pm (6 pm on Saturdays).

Hello
So I am back from wonderful Berlin! Thank you for your advice, I visited Fotoimpex, what a great store. A huge selection of film (every film I could think of) at very good prices.
Wüstefeld looked great, but they were unfortunately closed when I came by. I ended up spending more time shooting than shopping, luckily

Thank you
Emil
