Shopping Closer to Home

Like everyone else, I sometimes buy photo equipment from some of the big places on the web. B&H, Amazon and the like. I also like to visit and shop at an actual camera store and have been known to spend quite a bit of time in Merrill's Photo Supply in Charleston WV and Midwest Photo Exchange in Columbus OH. Often however I feel a bit like Goldilocks selecting a chair. Sometimes the big is too big, the small is too small. Often I find the photo businesses listed below to be "just right" for what I'm looking for. The fact that they are generally smaller businesses and closer to home is a plus for me too. You may not know of some of these, so I thought I would pass the info along. None of these business have in any way paid me to list them here. In fact,as this is posted, none of them even know they have been mentioned.
They are just places I have bought different photo items, was very happy with the goods and service and wanted to pass along.

Lens Rentals.com is by far the most appreciated and helpful photo equipment business to me at this point in time. Need a certain camera,lens,flash,tripod,filter or about anything else for an upcoming shoot or trip? They probably have it.

KEH Camera Brokers.  I've been dealing with them for over 20 years. I buy used equipment here. Sometimes because what I want can't be bought new. Sometimes just to save money on something that could be bought new. I don't get the absolute lowest price possible on things here, but I don't worry about the item not being in the condition it was advertised to be,the seller not responding to problems with the item or any other worries one has when buying from places like Ebay.

Flash Zebra  Slightly odd name for an exceptional place to buy any flash related item like off camera cords,optical triggers, hotshoe adapters and the like. Helpful,knowledgeable staff. Great service. As far as I am aware, this is the best place for anything related to this niche segment of the photo world.

Outdoor Photo Gear This online store carries many items, some that are hard to find elsewhere. Prices seem to be inline with the "Big Boys" and the service,attention to detail and concern about customer satisfaction has been very good.
