Ken,
I've been there, left there with the same attitude. The dude
on the second floor just about made me punch him one day the way he
replied to my question. I made friends in old Broadway Camera, bought
my 380EX there, and they were very helpful. I think they merged with
Toronto Camera (or was it Downtown Camera - west side of church s.
side of queen) almost next door. Check them out. At the time, the guy
looking after me was the manager, and he told me he used to manage
Henry's in the old days until he couldn't take it anymore either.
I'm surprised Henry's had a demo lens, even if you'd hauled
out a 1V. The other thing was, Broadway's prices best Henry's on
everything in the store.
