Second hand camera, Klenzestrasse 45 Subway U1 or U2, exit Frauenhoferstrasse A very small shop with a friendly owner and high quality equipment 2. Photo bazar, Josephspitalstr. 2 between Marienplatz and Sendlinger Tor. Lot of used stuff (leicas) in good condition. both shops are in the downtown of munich. I didn't have any bad experience with both of them. But I'm shure, they don't like people hanging around for hours and testing all their equipment. I think it depends on you, talking with the guys, being interested, showing your equipment .... In the posting of Alfred Breull, he wrote about City Photo near Marienplatz. It's indeed the used camera shop in munich with the highest prices. I don't know them, never bought anything because of the prices. If you want, i'll mail you a scanned map of munich with both shops marked. greetings from munich, at the moment an island in a big lake of Oktoberfest beer, with lot of drunken guys hanging around - Oouups!
