Visited the shop. Both the owners know their stuff.
Also there is another one on Lonsdale St Between Elizabeth and Queen, called Camera Exchange. Owner is very knowledgable. Both these shops will actually let you try different lenses if you take the d70.
cheers,

Gary Stark has sung the praises of Camera Exchange a number of times, and I can see why.

Would Hardware Lane be the lane that Camera Exchange is on the corner of? If so, that would make Camera Lane quite close to them, wouldn't it?
Another place to visit when Leigh and I are down there for the GP.

Many thanx.
Are we going to organise a mini-meet during the GP weekend?
Let me rephrase that slightly:
How about a dinner meet on Lygon Street, Friday March 4?

Whether ya'll come or not is a different matter, of course.
