I'm lucky to live near the coolest camera shop in the world, Pat's Camera Cottage. It's just down the river from the quaint little town of Volant, PA. It really is a cottage and it sits right on, though about 15 feet above, the Neshannock Creek. You enter through a nice screened in porch that serves as the Free Leave an Item Take and Item used department and is the sleeping grounds of a lovely dog and kitty.
Inside you'll find old Pat selling digital and analog products and he passes nothing up... 8x10, 4x5, MF, 35SLR and RF. I bought a light table that holds 10 8x10 negs for $75 bucks last year and it was like new! Enlargers, Ilford MGIV, Sprint chems, Kodak chems and Kodak BW films. He's going to start ordering in my Kentmere papers now that Ilford bought them.
He even had a 40.5mm lens cap for my light meter in stock last week!? Long live the local guys!!! |
