Always blend your resources, because sometimes Brick & Mortar just works!

I do shop for a ton of things on-line. But major camera gear, I like to put my hands on and have a brick & mortar store standing behind it. Plus the ease of servicing.

Amazon is always the first choice, as the deal is [...]
