Thanks to both of you for the Dick Blick suggestion. I have bought tons
of art supplies from Dick Blick's catalog, but never even thought of
going to him for photographic storage.

I'll second Henry's suggestion.
These metal cabinets are very efficient. Plenty of room for Leicas 
(mine also has an old Speed Graphic on the bottom shelf).
I had to move recently and packed the contents of a metal cabinet 
into cardboard boxes for the move. Since I was packing alot of stuff 
I didn't pay much attention to the number of boxes.
When I started unpacking and putting away stuff I was stunned how 
many boxes of things "disappeared" into the large metal cabinet. For 
reference the one I have is 72"H X 36"W X 18"D.
