The Troy Photo Center
It's a museum, it's Aladdin's cave, it's a junk yard, it's Photo Center of Troy, New York. What a treasure trove. The helpful employee found some 48mm filters for my Canonet camera. Nikon Nick is an encyclopedia of photo stuff.
The Leicas in a glass case were rough (user grade), and I did not have time to look at the lenses. And I saw some Rolleiflexes. Regardless, I do not need any more photo equipment (right??).

Photo Center would be a fun place to explore at leisure and talk to Nikon Nick. For more information:

Bonus: Carrboro, North Carolina
Southeastern Camera in Carrboro, North Carolina, is another great store with bins of equipment. The best equipment is in the glass cases; the rougher stuff in tubs. They have medium format equipment and Leica lenses.
Bonus No. 2: Bergen, Norway
My sister sent me these frames of a film-oriented camera store in Bergen. Yes, enthusiastic Norwegians support film!
