I go there most often to buy heavy (liquid) darkroom supplies. Used to go to SBI in Southie, when Southie was convenient; never liked the atmosphere in Hunt, and the fact that they didn't have what I wanted when I had made the pilgrimage from Plymouth. Scorby's in Needham had everything I needed to get started in a darkroom years ago, but they're mostly greeting cards, now. I'll have to check out Zeff again -- I used to buy my Dupont Velour Black there. Sound to me like we need a Boston area meeting to sort this all out. bh - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Buzz Hausner" <buzz.hausner@verizon.net> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2003 7:17 PM Subject: [Leica] My Other Camera is a Testa Rosa > There are no reasonably priced film places in the Boston area.
