The classic camera store is a thing of the past for most folks.

exactly why it's no surprise calumet closed. those that claim to be surprised are blind to what's happening. certainly the workers there must have noticed there weren't very many customers anymore.

it's rare that a camera store can offer services to where they can stay in business.

We have two within a short walking distance of each other that we can go to: Cameta Camera and Berger Bros. I do like Cameta a lot and bought my first camera from them about 30 years ago. I'm not a fan of Berger Bros. Fortunately, Cameta is doing so well as an eBay business that they'll be around for quite a long time.

they might close their store and be just an online seller.
