2nd hand camera shops in Manchester

[magpieant]

Marcel'll probably know the answer to this one ....

Can anyone recommend any good, cheap, 2nd hand camera shops in Manchester?

The sort where people have traded their old lenses and bits and bobs and you can peruse at your leisure ... car boot sale styleeee !!!!

Remember there being one up near oldham street somewhere ..... camera exchange or something ???

Cheers.

LCE in Piccadilly still does 2nd hand

Jacobs down on Corporation Street opposite Boots

Stephens Of Salford in Barton Arcade but they specalise in Leica and had some nice Nikon F5, D2X bodies in last week

I think there is one on Dale street near Forbidden Planet shop used to be Knobby's Cameras in Hanging Ditch but I am not sure if he is still there.

There is also a place called Denton Photo Optics that has a loads of old stuff in but do not think he is opend on a Saturday. Check with the Chillimonster he would know.

I think the one in Dale St is The Real Camera Company.

Denton Photo Optics are open sporadically and were useless when I was looking for MF gear.

The real camera company is on Lever st.
