Most of Buzz's advice I will concur with; however, leaving out Newtonville
Camera which has outstanding selection of new and used Leica stuff I would
add to PS and NEP and Hunt does have largest selection of darkroom (b&w)
stock around as well as the best film prices...not the best to be found in
the world.  Also small correction, Hunt closed their mail-order business
last year and yes Buzz is so right, they just do not have knowledgeable
sales staff or folks who care about anything and their general photo stock
sucks. 


Happy snaps,
Steven Alexander
