Re: Amsterdam shops

["Lamberti" <dataface@ozemail.com.au>]

Jorge,

The street referred to by Gerard is in fact called Nieuwendijk.  There is
only one store worth visiting on Nieuwendijk at #113, called FOTO-VIDEO
Professional (tel:+31-20-624-6024).

If you continue to the end of Nieuwendijk (away from Dam), the street
becomes Haarlemmer Straat, and eventually Haarlemerdijk.  There are three
stores worth visiting on this stretch, the best at #114 called Nivo
Schweitzer (tel:+31-20-623-3159).

You may want to consider picking up a copy of "Camera Magazine" (available
at most news agents).  This Dutch publication contains adverts from many
camera stores selling second hand Leica, allowing you to compare prices. 
You'll also find a load of private listings at the back of the magazine.

Regards,

Vince Lamberti
