As for places to buy camera gear with a good selection and good prices, forget it. Gasser's is strictly list price and snobbish, Calumet is NOT cheap either, there are a number of smaller shops but overhead is high in a city where 600 square foot walk ups start at $2500/mo. Much better to bring the equipment he already ahs and use it to capture the experience of one of the most cosmopolitan and fun places in the US.
