    Trip to New Mexico

    I am planning a trip to New Mexico next month,flying into Albuquerque. Is there a good camera shop in Albuquerque which sells 4x5 film, and LF accesories?

    Thanks.

    There are a couple of (waning) camera stores in Albuquerque:

    Camera & Darkroom, 3225 Central Ave, 505-255-1133

    Kurt's Camera Corral, 3417 Central Ave, 505-266-7766

    I'd suggest calling to see what they actually have in stock.

    I'd also suggest that you ask them to quote prices!

    And if they do quote you a price, get the name of who gave it to you.

    Kurt's have very little in large format film or accessories. I used to work there and still hang around there now and then. At best, a couple boxes of film. Probably the same for Camera and Darkroom. You can also try Carl's. They are an E-6 developing place but are only open half days on Mon. Tue. and Thur. But they used to carry a good selection of 4x5 Fuji film.

    Maybe Kurt can chime in. I'm sure he has more contact with these stores.

    Sorry, I am in Arizona on a shoot. Your best bet for 4x5 film in stock is Carl's Darkroom. Camera and Darkroom always has some used VC stuff. It varies.
