    Going to be in London for the weekend and was wondering if there are any recommendations for good camera shops over there? Buying a few lenses and if I can get them while I am there for a decent price all the better :D

    Thanks!

    you wont get much for a decent price in London with the way the exchange rate is at the moment. I did get a decent price on a 50 1.4 in Jacobs on New Oxford Street a week or two ago, but the sterling was 94p to the euro then.

    London Camera Exchange is also supposed to be good. Aperture UK (on Museum Street, just off New Oxford Street) is good but seems to be mostly Nikon.

    Still around 90p, not a bad rate at all.:D
