Photography F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 31 10:42 am)
Beach Camera is a decent company...I bought my camera from them and had no complaints
Abe's of Maine has a good reputation as well.

www.penncamera.com - they have 5-6 stores throughout DC, Northern VA, and Maryland.
It's probably even better to CALL them (I'm guessing you live in the states - the whole B&H and Adorama reference and all...). You may be looking for something they may not have listed - if they deal with the company (Canon, Schneider, Leica, Nikon, Hasselblad, etc.) they can get whatever that company makes (obscure parts, accessories, etc.).
Hope that helps - good luck!

I have used both the ones you mentioned and also this one, Hunts. They do a pretty good job.

One should always research a little before buying on-line. A good source for consumer ratings is www.resellerratings.com. This ratings source is recommended quite heavily by the photographic community.
As for Abe's of Maine, I would not recommend them, as they are rather notorious for poor service...

I've heard more than one horror story regarding Abe's.
I do agree that Beach is a good source, as is Cameta and BuyDig.

Thanks for the replies, I found this place and ordered from them as they happened to still be open while many others were closed. http://www.calumetphoto.com They were great had everything I wanted in stock and had it all in my hands left than 24hour after I placed the order. Everything arrived perfect and after the battery was charged I fired up the camera and everything was great. I was very happy with their service and would use them again with out a doubt.
Thanks for the note on Calumet, Viper. I have not used them. Good to know!
The only problems I have had with Adorama or BH or Hunts is when an item may be out of stock even if it shows "in stock" on the net. Then, I do get a phone call from Hunts advising me. Adorama is good to immediately email and say item is out of stock. So, here is annother place to try when I do the "find it in stock" dance. Tom.
I am happy that you got such good service.
I stopped ordering directly from the net after getting hit by the "instock" but really out of stock bug once. Now I find what I want and they call and place the order directly. I tend to do next day shipping on anything I order so I like to ensure its actually going to leave and arrive the next day.

I am looking for some online stores other than B&H and Andorama, as both are currently closed and will be back ordered like no one's business when they re open.
