Sounds like the old Hilton's photo which closed a few years ago
after the owner passed away. Their closing out sale was fantastic,
too bad I didn't know enough to scoop some deals at the time
(16mm/3.5 for $275, 35-70/3.6 $250...). I now realize just how good
this store was, and have yet to come across anything close, even
in the big cities. (they were in Chemainus, BC). I remember
spending whole afternoons at this store when I was a kid, as my
Dad talked with them about cameras and tried things out. Sadly,
this type of store is a dying breed...
