ntrprnr 0 #1 August 21, 2006 Is worse than a crack den. How I can walk in secure that I only want one little thing and walk out with a brand new studio strobe kit is beyond me. I mean, seriously. The place is evil. AND, I speak Hebrew. So it's not like they have some unseen power over me. God. It's sick. For skydiving comparison: imagine being set loose in a warehouse with every single type of rig, canopy, gear, and accessory you could ever imagine, all in one place. It's bad. Stay away. And of course, now I have to play with everything, so there goes any productivity for the afternoon. Sigh._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

aprilcat 0 #2 August 21, 2006 If you know what you want you can find it at Adorama on 18th. They 'may' have it. But if you need something, its going to be at B&H! ~~April (ooops..spelling) Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #3 August 21, 2006 I'm coming up to NYC over labor day with plans to hit B&H maybe, I'm scared though since I know that they could max out all my charge cards in about 45 seconds with what I wish I could get.

ntrprnr 0 #4 August 21, 2006 Dude, you have no idea. Hit me when you get to the area. I live right near there. Would love to meet up._______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tharv17 0 #5 August 21, 2006 That place is awesome! Went there before a trip to Holland where I traced all the battles of Operation Market Garden. Let them know where I was going and what I was going to be taking pictures of etc. They set me up really well. You are right though, they had a lot of suggestions that were good suggestions and probably would have helped me take some great shots, but maybe not totally essential. Will power is definately necessary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aprilcat 0 #6 August 21, 2006 Make a list and stick to it. That place is like Disneyland and Vegas for the vidiot. They don't have you drinks but they've got candy ALL over the place and once you touch it, you're not leaving. There are labyrinths of departments and the only way OUT is through the check out line.

ffejdraga 0 #8 August 21, 2006 I went there once. The place is crazy, with all of its conveyor belts and such. It reminded me of Santa's workshop, but instead of elves, there were Hasidic Jews all over the place. And all the 'toys' were sweet electronic items. B&H is a great place, they are the only place I wil order electronic components from, as they ship instantly, and the prices *most of the time* are the cheapest out there WITH as reliable service. jeff D-16906 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamsam 0 #9 August 21, 2006 You're right. They're evil. I'm in the UK, but that doesn't stop me succumbing and ordering crack kit from their website. I dread to think what would happen if I visited the store... but I'm a professional, its all tax deductable, thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it..but what do I know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aprilcat 0 #10 August 21, 2006 Notice I didn't chime in 'me too!' when Phreezone and Ntrprnr decided to meet up there. They have benches outside that the weak can sit on and try NOT to get finger and nose prints against the windows. I do need some silver fix, though, and silver fix is boring.

bob.dino 1 #13 August 22, 2006 It's a very odd place, and they really don't trust their customers and sales staff. And they will try to sell you a bunch of stuff you don't really need. But once you know all that, it's a pretty cool place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoy 0 #14 August 22, 2006 I thought Michele WAS Jewish? She is but she is far from evil. Even though she knows a lot about serial murder methods. She likes kittie cats and long hugs by the lake. She is big into cameras too, wonder where she got hers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
