In haste, as is usual these days ...

1. Two shops in the basement of the Adelphi Building (Coleman St). Ron's
   (? -- I don't remember the names very well, just where they are) often
   has nice stuff at non-bargain prices. Another nearby usually has Oly /
   Zuiko stuff in the window but worth asking as well. This building is also
   serious audio equipment heaven. Can be difficult to leave.

2. Peninsula Building. Opposite Adelphi. Cathay Photo for new stuff, huge
   stock. Several interesting shops, on first two levels. Anthony's has
   a lot of interesting expensive second hand Leica stuff. And new -- that's
   where I discovered the 12mm Voigtlander. They like to talk.

   Just across a side road is Ruby Photo and a couple more secondhand
   places (downstairs). Not usually much Zuiko.

3. In Funan Centre next door (which is where you go for computer stuff), there
   is a small and strange shop called John 3:16 (second or third level), which
   has an interesting collection of OM gear in the window, but none for sale.
   I buy film there because they keep it refrigerated (and it's half the
   Aus price). Interesting new stuff. I tried the E-1 there.

That should dispose of a day.

If you have more time try

4. Riverwalk Building on Boat Quay. Small camera shop towards the end of a
   row of shops after turning left at the entrance. Last time I was there
   Joseph had a nice collection of colourful XA-2s and a few Zuikos. Up the
   stairs at street level is a strange place with a few Russian panorama
   cameras, and other oddities. Also imports Aus wine -- the good stuff, eg
   Dalwhinnie.

Will be there myself 7 - 10 May but unlikely to have much Zuiko time (or
Zuiko money for that matter).


regards
  Andrew
