I loved Spiratone. With 6 children I did not have much for Photo stuff and he had it. In film days only fishermen could come close to the differant gadgets that photographers could have. Lots of differant filters. The old pre set lenses extention tubs, strobes, etc etc Always fun to loo at the 2 to 4 pages he had in ads in the photo mags. - Dave
you betcha! he imported so many interesting, and sometimes, funny items that at some point everyone purchased something of his. his loss was really a great blow to the independent importer industry. i don't think we'll see his like again. he was an avid photographer, himself, along with being a major photographic collector. he always said he'd not import anything he wouldn't use himself. a lot of us miss him.
