There are not real camera stores here in Northern Michigan, so I buy 
a load of hardware and supplies from B&H, but I have also found that 
often Robert White has more than competitive prices, even after the 
exchange rate, UPS and customs. In addition, they are knowledgeable 
and willing to help, with Robert himself often answering my emails. 
When I've got a big purchase, or a complex need I often turn to 
Robert White.

I recommend Robert White highly.
