Good camera shops in Philly area ?

[Luddite Frank]

All:
I will be spending some time in the Philadelphia area over the next few weeks....


Are there any good camera shops that stock used gear that would be worth checking-out ?


Thanks !

The largest store with the greatest stock, both new and old, with lots of vintage items, film processing, printing, and more, is New York Camera and Video, 1139 Street Road, Southampton, PA 18966. I'm still not sure why they use the New York reference in the name, but they are in suburban Philadelphia, about 12 miles from center city Philly. Frank is the owner/manager. The store is a certified vendor for Nikon, Canon, Leica and other brands. Many, many used/pre-owned items. Worth a look.

Ellisson -

Thank you for the tip!

I finally got out there the other week... overwhelming might be a good starting place!

My purchase was modest - a Kalt dark focusing cloth in original box, but I will be going back!

It's been many years since I've been in a true full-service photo store.

Best,
