My father will be in St Paul in this month and i am planning to get MP-e65 macro lens and few other accessories. What store do you recommend? online purchase is not possible as he will be living in a hotel.


Thanks

    Yellow pages Listing of St. Paul Camera Stores ..........I know it is not exactly what you asked for but it might be of some help if no one from the St. Paul area chimes in......

    EDIT......I checked every camera store the yellow pages link above showed having a website and found 0 MP-E65......none........it might be worth calling the others to see if anyone has one in stock.

    B&H or Adorama won't deliver to a hotel address? They must be willing to make some accommodation, for those photographers who have a piece of equipment break while traveling, or those who get robbed or otherwise lose a piece of equipment. Send them an email and ask about it.

    Provided we can verify the ID of the customer, it can usually be done - just need to email me with more details: Helen@adorama.com

    Have him go to West Photo in Minneapolis.

    They will normally come down a bit on the price if you quote what B&H is selling it for.

    National Camera, at least the store in Roseville, will not move off of the retail price.
    I don't buy anything there.

    Of course the last time I tried to buy a camera or lens there was a few years ago, maybe they've gotten better.
