How about some positive feedback on the mail-order business?
Surely, someone out there in net.land has had a good
experience with a mail order house. It is good to know who
not to deal with, but has anyone had a problem with
something they ordered which was promptly and courteously
taken care of by a good mail order dealer? I cringe at the
local photo store prices.

I was reading in the paper the other day that the State of New York has
begun to crack down on the mail order photo equipment places. Popular
Photography has begun screening all of the advertising done in its classified
section and for the last issue alone rejected 6 FULL PAGE ads (losing lots
of $$$$$). It is nice to know that something is being done but I still like
to buy from local dealers (if the price differential is not all that much)
in case there is some problem with the equipment. By the way, Pop. Photo. is
being sued by one of the rejected advertisers.

Del's Camera Exchange (he advertises in shutterbug ads--an especially good place to look for used equipment) has fairly good prices (not aolute bottom dollar, but it costs something to provide good service. He is, however, a specialist dealer, only Nikon and Hasselblad. He has a large inventory of both new and used equipment. He is also quite knowledgable of the product line, and will likely know what exotic item you need for a special job. Darrel J. Van Buer sdcrdcf!darrelj or VANBUER@USC-ECL.ARPA
