Mitte’s own Monochrom retail space is the German photographic supplier’s only brick and mortar location outside its native Kassel. Since opening in 2002, it’s become the one-stop shop for Berlin’s shutterbugs, stocking the 2,000 most popular items from Monochrom’s extensive line of professional, archival and presentation solutions, as well as cameras, lenses, lighting equipment and accessories.

Head upstairs to examine works by local photographers exhibited in the shop’s small gallery, where the staff also offers weekly workshops exploring diverse aspects of photographic practice. Whether you’re in search of a new Zeiss lens for your digital camera, hard-to-find Ilford paper stock, or an old-school pinhole camera, Monochrom’s friendly experts will ensure you leave with what you’re looking for.
