Any good camera stores in greater Phoenix, AZ?

[bobby_novatron]

Hey all -- just wondering if any RFF members in the greater Phoenix area have any suggestions for a fun afternoon of camera shopping / drooling?

What am I looking for? Well, something like a shop that has a good selection of rangefinders, film cameras, or a mix of film & digital bodies. Used lenses, old treasures, etc. -- stuff that we here on RFF really enjoy using.

Doesn't have to be exclusively Leica-oriented, but that's fine too.

Kind regards,
Bob

p.s. By the way -- where can I get film developed in the Phoenix area? I'm not looking for a pro lab, just a place that does a decent 1-hr turnaround on C-41.

I second the motion, heading to PHX on Saturday with my Bessa R and 15/4, 35/2.5, and 50/1.5. I would love to spend an afternoon gear dreaming. Please give us a referral.

I was hoping to visit here (http://www.collectiblecameras.com/) while there for spring training (Go Giants), but I didn't have a chance to. I've bought accessories from them and never had a problem.

Thanks, MikeL -- I'll put it on my list!

Thanks so much Mike. I'll be there.

Collectible Cameras is a great store, and, if you're going to spend more than a couple of hundred bucks, they usually are amenable to bargaining. Be aware of the fact, though, that Collectible is NOT open Saturday or Sunday and they basically keep banker's hours Monday through Friday.
