[OM] London camera shops

I have just been in London - I should have suggested a meeting,
except I am seriously "tired and emotional".  The London universities
have an air squadron (ULAS) with its town HQ in Brompton Road and we
had an end-of-term "revue" there last night.  Aunty Betty would not
pay for a night's hotel, so we (the staff of the squadron) kipped on
the chairs after the revelries.  Some brave souls went with the
students to Hombre's (?) off Oxford Street, but I find socialising
with 'young people" tiring enough as it is, and 0200 bed time is late
enough for me now.  I have not bopped since the last one - in October
;-)

The reason for this post is that I visited Nicholas in Camden High
St, near Mornington Crescent tube station.  It is a bit of a
shambles, worse than Campkins on King's Parade in Cambridge, but it
looks like a treasure trove of stuff.  I wanted to feel a Contax G2,
but it was locked away and could not be retrieved for half-an-hour;
my tiredness and emotion persuaded me to head off to King's Cross for
the train home.  Nicholas is well worth a visit for OM stuff in my
opinion (see adverts in AP).

Welcome to the list from a fellow London OM user!  I'm probably not
much help for this question because the only OM I've ever used is
the OM-1(n).  Owned three of them, now have two, and for the type of
photography I do (mainly landscape and cityscape) I don't see
anything in the other OMs that makes me desperately want them.  So I
say, get an OM-1 or two.

Cheers,
Roger
