I found these two links on Photo.net and I'm gonna post them without much

The links take you to photos of some of the--in many cases--well-advertised
NYC photo stores. Form your own judgments.


Man, am I ever glad I first phoned B&H Photo for mail-order camera equipment -- lo those many years ago -- and never went anywhere else since. Some of their "competition" look like holes-in-the-wall in war-torn Lebanon. You can tell a fair amount about a retail outlet by the care they take to present themselves to the general public. Storefront physical appearance is not 100% reliable, but it's not bad as an indicator. Adorama looked okay too (albeit small in comparison to B&H Photo). No wonder B&H is the 800-pound gorilla in this business...
