Great range of product. Miserable staff (but actually quite…read morecharming). Hardcore sales tactics "You are wrong, we are right. Seriously, forget what your professional photographer friend said about Canon, it's the Practika you need". Let you get hands-on with stuff, so you can see it working - which is a huge bonus. But, after all that, then you have the pricing. Good web sites beat John Lewis by around 30%. John Lewis beats most high street stores by around 10% - and often give a better warranty. Other high street stores are probably 10-20% cheaper than Spectrum. When you add it all up, the real cost of buying here is phenominal.

Aperture Photographic is what I'd call a perfect sanctuary for vintage camera lovers…read more At this branch of Aperture Photographic, they will mostly deal with Leica and Nikon cameras and lenses and a few other camera brands. However, if you are looking for anything that is Hasselblad, then I would go to the other Aperture Photographic/Camera Cafe on Museum Street, which is just off Great Russell Street. At this branch, they have a 35mm film processing service and I must say, they seem to do a really good job at it. All the retail staff here seem to know there stuff and the customer service is really good.

I really like this place. It is an offshoot of the Camera Cafe and Aperture Photographic branch on…read moreMuseum Street. The have moved all their classic Nikon ( read film Nikon F/F2/F3 ) here together with their Leica and Medium Format kit. They also now have have a photo lab with a 24 hour turn-around for C41/B&W 35mm/120 their standard print size for 35mm is 5x7&1/2 which is a very nice size print. I had a roll of BW400CN developed, printed and scanned here and was quite impressed. Their lab could be a little more sterile, but it will do. Also they will just develop and scan if you are not interested in prints. I was the first person to request high resolution scans here an they gave me a CD with 10-12MB jpeg images on it so I could compare film with output from my M9. The extra charge for slower high res scans was £3 which I thought was fine. I have to avoid the place really, the last time I went in I left behind a 35mm f/1.4 lens and walked out with a 35mm f/1.2 lens and bleeding credit card. Go here if you like classic cameras, if you don't like classic cameras, go here for the tea, coffee and cakes.

I kid you not, people were chasing him around the venue asking him to snap a photo! He was absolutely professional and approachable. A few days ago, we met up for a second shoot, this time just me. Dmitry is a pure delight to work with. He's so friendly and carefree and constantly seeking to improve himself. He made sure I felt comfortable with him. Being photographed as a subject can often feel a bit awkward but Dmitry made me feel so at ease. I loved the smile I would see behind his camera each time he got the perfect shot he was looking for! I have yet to see the photos from this shoot, but I have no doubt that they are incredible. We've already planned to do another shoot in a completely different style. Dmitry is so passionate about his work and just a fantastic PERSON overall. If you ever need photographs done, I would highly (15/10) recommend Dmitry!
