Is that store down on McDowell near I-17 still open? I thought I saw that it was closed.
For me it has been mostly lenspens, and other cleaning wonders. That is mostly because I either lose them, or break them. And any liquid solution sitting in my bag somehow mysteriously opens, and empties out. 


Nope.  I think the McDowell near I-17 outfit had a re-incarnation in downtown Scottsdale -

For studio gear their stuff is almost entirely Promaster.  Which is Ok gear, just not super competitive on price.  On the positive side they do stock Fujifilm cameras.  Those are kind of hard to find now.

Now I remember their name when you posted the link, they were Photomark, at that location. Yeah they were never really price competitive, but then they were pretty much fully stocked. For me they were a quick dive off the freeway, when I had to go to the valley for company meetings.

The Scottsdale store is not as big as the old location.  But they still have a lot of stuff, especially camera bags and backpacks.
