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.

Colonial was slightly bugger than B&H, but B&H was also very tiny.

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.

I'm not sure what I should do with this information.
