Wasn't Detroit Camera and Cadillac Luggage one in the same? It was my understanding they both closed up, if not, please confirm otherwise. | ||
Drm Member Username: Drm Post Number: 975 Registered: 10-2003 Posted From: 69.212.49.149 |
Your understanding is wrong. Detroit Camera used to share a space with Cadillac Luggage, but later moved into its own spot (on Fort Street, westernmost storefront of the Penobscot Building). | ||

You're probably almost as close to Century as to downtown Detroit.. Maybe a little further to Century. What kind of lens are you seeking? Considered Ebay? | ||

While not in Detroit, Adray's in Dearborn or Troy has received more of my dollars than I care to think about. Alex at Detroit Camera is a great guy and quite knowledgeable about many facets of the industry. He's great at ordering specialized equipment or films. If you're looking for used equipment, there's a great place on Ford Road near Venoy, J&? (the name escapes me at the moment) a very cool laid-back owner who would let me search through his dispays until I'd find some esoteric treasure that I suddenly had to have. I must have bought over 100 filters from him to fit the various lenses I own. (I shoot 16mm - 4x5, and I'm just learning digital) Classic Camera on Mack in Grosse Pointe, usually has a good selection unless they have packed for a show somewhere. Not necessarily the best prices, but they saved my butt several times when one of my bodies camera went kaput just before a job (or in one case, I had to buy a new body in between the ceremony and the reception to finish the job, luckily I was in the Pointes). | ||

$450 for a D50 body and 28-90mm lens at Ritz. (Just bought one as a back up last week) $779 is a rip off - you can get a D70 with a lens online for that much. | ||

i just bought a pentax dslr from adray in dearborn- it is probably closest to midtown (where i live). while i didn't get the best price those ppl behind the counter know their stuff- esp with accessories and such. they also steered me towards a more budget camera- which i always like b/c most salesmen seem to do the opposite... | ||

Yeah Adray is a great store... I got a great Sigma 55-300 from them.. the guys there really know their stuff... anyone looking to buy some Nikon lenses hit me up.. I'm trying to sell a couple and get another one.. Adray has some good prices @ their online store.. too bad you can't those prices in the store :-D | ||

Classic Camera is no more, they went out of business a year or two ago. CameraMart on Telegraph in Pontiac is a good place for digital equipment, Nikon F mount included, although it is a ride from Detroit. | ||

So I went to Detroit Camera in the Penobscot during lunch.... waste of time actually. it's actually Detroit Pen and Camera They had like 10 camera bags, one lens that I could see, no cameras, and photo paper and a gang of pens... ahhh o well |
