Looking for a Christmas gift for my son - and am thinking about a gift certificate to an on-line photo shop.
He currently uses a D-60 - so a wide variety of NIKON stuff is needed.
Suggestions? I searched out the local brick-and-mortar places but found their inventories lacking. The couple of shops I used in the past had some great in-the-door prices, but after calling, it was obvious their interest was in adding high-profit items to the order. Those were very unpleasant experiences.

three times, twice for work and once for a camera for my husband's birthday. Always reliable and seem to have the best prices I could find when researching. I think a lot of the photographers here and elsewhere will tell you the same.
Hope you find what you need. :hi:
(They do observe all of the Jewish holidays so are frequently closed during those times, so be aware of that when you need to order something and need it by a certain date.)

It doesn't matter if you are buying a lens cap or a Leica you get the same superior service from extremely knowledgeable sales staff without any pressure at all.

I've ordered from them many times and sold old equipment as well. Very reliable, and they have everything.

Lens Baby Composer & the Puffer flash diffuser are great accessories.
