Looking for a shop in NYC
Hi,
I'll be in NYC next saturday, and I need to buy some 35 mm films (in particular, slide : Kodak E100VS and film : Ilford HP5 or Kodak Tri-X). Do you have any address around Time Square area ? BTW, I am also interested in a good address to buy some Leica R equipment (second hand). Cheap, of course .... Thanks a lot for any help you can give me, Kresna |

All over the place. 9th avenue has a little place called B&H. But they are closed Friday after 14:00 and closed Saturday... open at 10:00 on Sunday til 17:00. Do you have any address around Time Square area ? BTW, I am also interested in a good address to buy some Leica R equipment (second hand). Cheap, of course .... B&H at 420 9th Avenue (between West 34th and W 35th). Check their website and call ahead less than 2 km walk from Times Square. Cheap? Not likely. Check site and call ahead for used equipment. Closed on Saturdays. -- -- rec.photo.equipment.35mm user resource: -- http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- e-meil: there's no such thing as a FreeLunch.-- |

B&H (www.bhphotovideo.com), I'm pretty sure B&H is closed on Saturdays. But I would think you could pretty much walk into any camera shop in NYC and get E100 or HP5+ or Tri-X. It's that way in Bawlmer... |

City Tax. In NYC is Obscene. You are much better off having items shipped.
Also many camera stores in the city are closed on Sat. for the Sabbath -- Ray Creveling http://www.blackcatblog.com "Kres" wrote in message ...

B and H is a Disneyland for camera fans. it's worth a visit just for
that. they are closed on Saturday and they close early on Friday for the Jewish Sabbath. I have found there prices to be very competitive except when it comes to NYC sales tax of 8.75%. For big ticket items use the Internet. larry Kres wrote: Hi, I'll be in NYC next saturday, and I need to buy some 35 mm films (in particular, slide : Kodak E100VS and film : Ilford HP5 or Kodak Tri-X).

Thanks a lot for any help you can give me, Kresna Be careful of the small electronics/camera stores in the times square area....Perhaps they are OK for buying film, but don't buy anything else...They specialize in cheating people, especially tourists........And check the expiration dates on all the film they try to sell you........ |

Thanks to all
Ok. I didn't know it would be closed on saturday. I'll try to buy some films here but unfortunately, it is more and more difficult (even in Paris) to get some HP5 or "pro" film as many shops focuses their market on numeric cameras. It is still possible by internet, but shipping would take too much time now. I have another question : do you know if in the US airports, the X-ray machine are still ok for film up to 400 ISO ? I 've heard that some machines (even for hand bagages) had their intensity increased after 9/11 events, and that could be problematic even for medium speed films. Is that right ? or is it only a rumor ? Kresna |
