Wow, Mr Cad is still in business?
I know years ago he used to have a stand at the Photographica trade show in London.
Ed and Damion used to go along with a bunch of other filmwasters.

That's my local camera shop when I go into central London.
  He used to be in Croydon about 2.5 miles from me but moved. He can be a little expensive but it is good to have a brick and mortar place to pop into to have a chat.

That's what I miss the most where I live. There are no camera shops and no place to go and have a chat.

Love that video! Not many shops left like that or people that have them.
Thanks! 8)

Yes, we used to go there from time to time back in the toycamera.com and early FW days. It was a treasure trove.
