Mark your calendars. Here are some upcoming camera shows if you happen to live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
For those of you thinking... why would somebody go to a camera swap anymore when there's ebay, B&H, KEH, Craigslist etc. Well, there are a number of reasons. You can try before you buy for one. There are no shipping charges.
And believe it or not, there are sometimes better deals than online. For example, I was recently in the market for 5x7" film holders. I bid on a few on Ebay but the bids went over $20 per holder. Then I saw a few at the Seawood Photo table at a Hayward photo swap. I ended up paying about $15 per holder. Plus I got a promise from Seawood that I could exchange at their shop if there were any problems.
Good luck finding deals like that on the interwebz.
