The closer to central London the better.. I will be in town for a couple days only and i will look for 8x10 gear. Thanks!!

Mr Cad - http://www.mrcad.co.uk

There are a few others dotted around, but Aperture has a few expensive bits, and Mr Cad has LOADS of stuff.

Teamwork in Foley Street..

With Ash's 2nd suggestion "Mr Cad" you need to be very careful and know what you're buying. Both Teamwork & Aperture have extremely good reputations, if you can travel slightly Robert White is probably the leading UK LF supplier.

Trust IanG about Mr. Cad. They sold me a 105mm Doktor Optic as a 4x5 lens. OK it's a wonderful lens, sharp as hell, BUT it clips the corners on 4x5. They stock lots of wonderful photographic items, but buyer beware and know what your'e looking for.

For central London have a look at Nicholas Cameras (or similar) in Camden High Street. From their ads they appear to be strong on large format. Dennis.

I've heard funny things about the service in Nicholas Cameras. But hey if they got the stock.

[Pete Watkins]

I havn't been to Nicholas Cameras for some years and the company does seem to have been in the buisness for a long time now BUT still buyer beware. Know what you want and be aware of prices elswhere.
Best wishes,
Pete.
