Central Camera on Wabash Ave in the Loop - close to the Palmer House and near many nice, family-friendly restaurants. Also w/i a few blocks of the Art Institute and Buckingham Fountain. Central Camera is an old-line store with knowledgeable clerks - look them up on line. They don't focus on mail-order business (but can arrange to ship some purchases). Their style is primarily aimed at hands-on sales. Worked nearby for 16+ years and Central was my go-to store.
From 1934 to '44 I drooled at Central every Sat. after my weekly piano lesson ............coveting Leica, Contax, Rollieflex, Graflex, ........and coming down out of the stratosphere, Retina, Welte, Bantam, Perfex amd Foth-Derby. And finally, PILOT 6!
