Where to shop on line has been bantered around here a few times so I thought I'd add American Photo Magazine's (July/Aug) pick of the litter (or I should say "picks"). They are:

www.calumetphoto.com www.photoalley.com www.cameraworld.com www.bhphotovideo.com

To find out why they chose them you'll have to buy the magazine which also features their picks for collecting, art & culture and service.

They seem to be right in tune with others who have posted here when they describe ordering by phone. "You call a toll-free number to order - only to be put on hold and then treated impudently by a surly salesman."
