PAD 194 - The World Comes To Reg's

[Mike Farley]

Day 194 and I popped into the Croydon Photo Centre to see Reg, who featured in PAD 141 on 21 May. It is as much a meeting place where people pop in for a chat as a camera shop. Reg has been behind the counter for decades, being the genial host and quite unconcerned that his customers will only make the occasional purchase.

Do you buy much from him? I've noticed the shop a few times but would be surprised if the prices were competitive with those online.

Most of the stuff is secondhand these days, especially now that he no longer has a Leica dealership and what he sells is manily film equipment. He is open to reasonable offers and I have bought a couple of big ticket items from him.
