Amsterdam photographic stores?

Hi, im travelling to Amsterdam in the next few weeks and was wondering if anyone can recommend any good stores there to get gear from?

I'm particulary looking at a Gitzo 1541t and Markins QT3 head.

Not sure if the prices are any better and im going from the UK and realise the exchange rate is not as good as it used to be but still if I can save a few £££ its always nice

Forget about Markins; can't get them here. In Amsterdam there's Calumet and Camex, both on the expensive end of the scale.

The big photography shops are in Rotterdam area; Kamera-Express, FOKA

cool, thanks for the tip coorz.. cant find a 1541t either, seems like only the 1540t is available

You've got expensive taste on stock here;

But it ain't Amsterdam; 1 hour drive (car) to the east.

thanks coorz, yeah im still entertaining/justifyin​g the idea of such an expensive setup... not convinced yet

not sure i'll make it all the way out there in the 3 days I have, planning a trip to haarlem utrecht, maybe bloemendaal as well. just hope the weather is nice anywhere else you can recommend to visit for some good shots?

Well Amsterdam innercity is a great place for street photography. It's an old city so lots of old buildings, musea, red light district, the canals (don't fall in).
Weather should be just like the UK (sucks )
