That happened in the 1980s, I think. Then Willoughby's shrunk to a small store on a side street in midtown. I believe Olden Camera still exists. Before I left NYC, I noticed Wall Street Camera had vacated. These were outfits that had been around since the late 1920s. Spiratone is gone. I shopped at Pro Photo midtown, not far from Madison Square Garden. They specialized in Leica. They didn't carry Nikon. I think they're gone as well. I left NYC in mid 1997. As for the mega stores, like Walmart, that's Digitalville, but they have good prices on film and P&S. The future seems underexposed. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
