From recommendation from Tony, I went to Colonial Photo and Hobby, just to check it out. Was a really small store with one half hobby and the other photo-related stuff. Pretty cramped, but really nice british salesman that I talked to.

Here is their web site. It gives some idea of their size. http://www.colonialphotohobby.com/index.htm

Uh, yeah? I was there, remember? It was a tiny store. Why is this a problem for you? Do you have some form of pride invested into the size of this store? Why? What's it to you?

Eric Stevens
Size is a relative thing, especially if you judge by the size of B&H or similar.

Here is Camera & Camera, my preferred store in Auckland. This what they sell: https://www.camera-camera.com/

And here is what they sell it in: http://tinyurl.com/ku9es8f

Physically they are not large but judging by what they do, they are quite a big store. At least they feel that way to me.

That is similar, but fancier, to the Ritz Camera store layouts in the Malls here. Ritz, of course, has closed all their stores here, but they did have nice stores in the Malls.
