This is an incredible little shop, made up only of photo processing, and gorgeous old used cameras. You have your choice here of Super 8s, Brownies, etc... basically, any non-toy camera, and even some of them, are here. They also have some bins of camera parts that could be useful if you're putting together your own pinhole. Mostly I was in awe of all of this photographic equipment that I have no idea what to do with.
The older guy working seemed happy to have someone come in, and he kept peppering me with questions: could he help me, was there something I was looking for, what was the weather like? I finally fessed up that I was a n00b, but that I found the aesthetics of the older cameras much better than their newer, digital cousins.
