p.1 #1 · Where to find used (alt) lenses in Stockholm (or Uppsala)

At the moment I'm visiting my sister in Uppsala, Sweden and am seeking advice from Swedish forum members. Where can I find used lenses for sale in Stockholm or Uppsala? Any must see/shoot places in the area?

Advice on shooting locations are also welcome too.

Thanks,
Hrannar

One of few is Shönherrs Foto on Upplandsgatan 16 (street address, pretty central). They dont have much though when I've been there.

Most would be sold through ads and if you know some Swedish then you could check out http://www.fotosidan.se/classifieds/index.htm
- that's "the" photo site in Sweden so sometimes great stuff show up. And then there's blocket.se (ads on anything).

wfrank is right. Online is the best place to look. The ones he mentioned + Tradera. I don't know of any photo stores worth a visit.

Tack så mycket!

How long are you in Stockholm? What lens platforms are you interested in?
I live in Stockholm, I know my way around the few camera shops (Holly, Schönherrs, Svenska Kort etc) and might be available for a coffee this weekend. I will be in town pretty much all day tomorrow (Friday) at Södermalm and around the city center.

I'm staying in Uppsala but will probably go 2-3 times to Stockholm before leaving next thursday. My current lenses are Zeiss 21/2.8 ZE, Leica Summicron-R 50/2 and Elmarit-R 90/2.8. I feel a 28mm or 35mm lens would fill a gap for me. I'm not looking for any specific brand ...all depends on price and desirability. I'm also in need of longer glass but will most likely seek autofocus lenses for that.

I'm in Sweden with my family so most of our times will be spent in the theme gardens and zoos.

PM me with you telephone and I'll check if you're free when in Stockholm.

Best,
Hrannar

I found a Contax Zeiss 35-70/3.4 that I'm going to buy in Iceland so I'm not looking for a 35mm lens any more. There's also a Elmarit-R 35/2.8 for sale but it seems to get mixed reviews.
