Cord Camera Centers is a regional chain.
Their 5th Ave. store in Columbus is my source for
many, many bargains. Like that load of outdated film
and paper each of the past 2 years. And a 90WR
for a PDMLer a couple of weeks ago. And a K105/2.8
about 2 years ago. They buy and sell a lot of used
equipment.
