Well, at least the holes are rather small ...

That's very interesting. A German masterpiece.

My first SLR was a Pentax S1a which I bought in 1962 when I was at 
university. It came with a SuperTak 55/2. Later I added a 135/3.5 & a 
Vivitar 2x TC. It served me well for about 20 years until the cloth 
shutter ripped. By then the Spotmatics were all the rage but I couldn’t 
afford one. Fortunately, a shop in Pretoria had a closing-out sale of 
Praktica MTL5B’s for a mere R110 so I snapped one up & was back in 
business with my Pentax lenses. It was built like a tank & worked the 
same as a Spotmatic. I recently sold the whole rig to a lady in Cape 
Town where film is still alive & well.

But it's a nice looking path.

I looked on street view- the hole’s still there, but the wall has gone. It 
looks a bit like Blackburn, Lancashire.

Much less pretentious I think ... there was only the one hole.

Raleigh was still kind of a backwater town at the time ... the kind of 
place that rolled up the sidewalks at 9:00 pm on a Saturday Night.

Re: Good find today (not Pentax)

It was a VERY TINY, little, dingy camera shop the width of a door and a 
counter ...


Maybe 10' wide (3m) and 25' or so deep (7.5m) although I think there was 
a back room.


You walked in the door and there was a counter running the length of the 
right hand side; couple of hanging fluorescent light fixtures running 
lengthwise - just bare tubes.


The owner sat on a stool behind the counter. I think he was the only 
employee ...


There were shelves stacked up to to ceiling running the length of the 
room on the right behind the owner, and maybe shelves along the left 
hand side.


I was only in there a couple of times because I couldn't afford to buy 
anything & it's been more than 50 years, so all I have is a vague visual 
impression ... almost a monochrome memory.


I think he sold Nikon and a lot of used stuff - trade ins.

That's what the camera I bought was.

https://www.google.com/maps/@35.7791792,-78.6381585,3a,75y,99.69h,91.35t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sjpfrujhXv2hiAlA_cbAKJg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

I may be wrong about the "hole-in-the-wall" not being there any more.

If you load the Google Map, it could be the store-front at "107 S. 
Wilmington St" (white building with grey & rust colored trim & window 
A/C unit over the door)


... but it hasn't been a camera store in a long, long time.

I'll have to go over to the Library where they keep the old phone books 
and see if I can find a listing in the Yellow Pages, but IIRC, the name 
was "Capital Camera".

That's what exactly? The only hole in the wall I know is a ATM.
