B&H puts another local camera store out of business (with my help, unfortunately)
Yes, Castle Photo of Lansing, in business for over 25 years, is closing its
doors. I did buy all my darkroom chemistry from them, but B&H and all the rest (meaning Adorama and a couple others) can't be beat for most items, including paper, even though it commands a premium in shipping 'cause it's quite heavy. Castle Photo was a great resource, though (if you talked to the right individuals), and I will miss them. The one good thing to come out of this is great sale prices as they seek to dump their inventory. I picked up a bunch of stuff there yesterday for 40-50% off, including this ballhead for my medium and large format equipment: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/sitem/sku=272989&is=REG (cost me $75--they normally charged $125 for it). Also, a couple filters, some photo paper, two fidelity 4x5 holders, a strobo frame reflective light modifier, and a couple other odds and ends. Paid $250 for what would have cost me $450 (at their prices, anyway). Yes, yes, I know--I'm part of the problem. -- www.mattclara.com |
