Lozeau on 6224 St-Hubert; they have lots of professional stuff, lighting, chemicals, etc. Myabe not too much in the way of Leica, also not that close to downtown. Near Camtec is Photo Service on Notre-Dame, also a more professional oriented store. They were the only place I could find Kodak R3000 kits in stock. I can concur about Simons. If you're looking for a nice Nikon F, they probably have several to choose from, if you can get a salesman! They have, (or used to have; I haven't been there in ages) lots of old Leica stuff in the original M3 or M4 era boxes. But I don't think they had bargain prices. You never know, though. -dan c.
