I was walking through Shandwick Place in the West End of Edinburgh today and noticed that Jacobs have opened up right next door to Jessops.

Finally some competition and for the first time in a long time, there are Pentax cameras and lenses on sale in a specialist photography shop in the city.

And hopefully it will bring a bit of competition to the area!

Perhaps the high street retailer is fighting back as Jacobs have also just opened a shop in Albion Street, Leeds.



They moved out years ago leaving big hole for Pentax users etc.

I think camera shops can only survive nowadays by having prices that are close to internet prices.

It's great news that Jacobs are expanding.

Might have a look in tomorrow, Sat 21st, if I get time after meeting my daughter for breakfast, meeting the lad's for beers and lunch, ( or more beers ), and then going on to watch Scotland beat Australia at Murrayfield, sound like a 'top' day.

It will be pissing rain though

Maybe sneak the Optio 550 in the pocket, best to leave the K10D at home when knocking back the brew
