Any good camera stores near Philly?

[Chuck A]

I will be in South Centtral New Jersey near Philly in a few weeks and I was interested in any good camera stores to visit. I saw the thread on N NJ stores but they will be a bit far for me ( 2 hr drive) unless there is a spectacular must visit store there. I am looking for just about anything, Leica and RF lenses and bodies in particular. I love to wander in these older stores. Any help would be appreciated.

Chuck, the best source I can think of is Dan Black...He is a past president of the Leica Historical Society [LHSA] and deals in Leica and other fine cameras...He's easy to deal with and knows where others of interest would be...regards, bob

p.s. here's his web site:

Thanks, I sent him an email. Anybody else have any ideas?

Dan hasn't gotten back to me yet. Doesn't anyone have any other ideas?

Chuck, if anybody will know, Jim Lager, the Leica author-expert, will know...If these are still his email and phone number, try him...He's very knowledgeable and easy to deal with...If Dan Black is still active, keep after him...try his phone number...he's also great to deal with...regards, bob

Help, I sent Dan and Jim emails and have received no answer. I am leaving soon. Does anybody have any camera store recommendations?

Chuck,

There is a large Calumet on 1400 S. Columbus Blvd. South of center city near the Delaware River.

Also try Webbcam LLC which is just north of Market Street at 241 N. 12th St. A small but serious camera store.

Have fun,

Bill
