Was in Dresden, Germany in September. Connected to our town center hotel was a vintage camera shop promising best prices to buy and sell used equipment. Lots of old 35mm bodies and lenses, inc. Praktika which was my first film SLR. Big emphasis on DDR-era cameras, as well as vintage watches and porcelain. The old view camera was in the hotel lobby. The hedgehog made of straw was in front of a vendor booth in their town square Fall Festival celebration. Actually saw many camera stores in Germany, Ireland, and Scotland. Sadly they are a rarity now in the US.

Nice!! It's a shame that so many small shops are going away and in their place are the big box stores. With their passing goes years of product knowledge and experience.
Thanks for sharing!!

Still looking for an F6 USA model. Have shopped many from Japan but am a bit worried about the product.
