Retailers |
|
| B&H Photo |
Highly reputable Big Apple based
photo mail order house. Extremely large selection of gear, very
competitive pricing, and quick order execution. |
|
|
Norman Camera |
Everyone should have a
locally-owned, neighborhood camera shop to peruse, touch, and feel the
latest gear and accessories. The one in my town in business since 1957 fits this perfectly with a very knowledgeable, friendly, long-tenured
staff. Pricing, of course, doesn't match the likes of B&H, but the
convenience and the hands-on buying experience can't be beat. |

Another "nice to have" is a
neighborhood photo lab. This locally-owned shop has been in business
in the same location for many years and provides professional, high-end
processing, printing, and digital services. And their four hour
turnaround for E-6 slide film processing is a terrific service for
those of us still shooting film. |
