Buying cameras & photography in Kirkcaldy
Kirkcaldy made linoleum on a scale that gave the town a distinctive smell remembered in local verse, and it was the birthplace of the economist who wrote The Wealth of Nations. It has a long esplanade along the Firth and hosts one of the longest street fairs in Europe.
Whether a body and a lens actually fit together is a question of mount, adapter and firmware, and getting it wrong turns an apparent bargain into an ornament. Bringing your own body along to try a lens on settles it in a moment.
What to check in person
Check the contacts on both mounts are clean and unpitched, and mount the lens to feel whether it seats without play. On older bodies work the flash and the mode dial, and look into the battery bay for the corrosion that leaking cells leave.
Collecting it in Kirkcaldy
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
The esplanade and the high street are the landmarks everyone uses and the town is compact. Parking is easy except during the fair, when the promenade is closed.
