Would like to know sources other than ebay to buy lenses. Particularly for a 11x14.

Thanks, Matt

I've gotten some from Robert White in England; service, prices and selection are excellent. Dealt with them on the web www.robertwhite.com I think.

Photo Gizzmo in New York--great selection of classic lenses at fair prices, but not a very informative website. Look them up at www.photogizzmo.com and call Louis Shu or visit.

Lens and Repro in New York--great selection of classic lenses with prices on the high side. Website tends not to be up to date, but they always have lots of interesting stuff and are worth a visit or an email--www.lensandrepro.com.

In addition to those others have mentioned, KenMar Camera (www.kenmarcamera.com I think it is). Also a guy named Igor, sorry I don't have his web site handy but you should be able to find it through Google if no one else posts it. I bought a lens recently from him. His prices were on the low side, he had a nice selection especially of older lenses, and the lens was just as described. He goes to many of the camera shows, perhaps others have had experience with him and could comment.

I believe from experience that Badger has the lowest prices in the world on new large format lenses. I would check with them for new prices before buying used somewhere else. Service is superb, shipment almost instantaneous.

I will repeat the suggestion to call Jom at Midwest (www.mpex.com) and Jeff at Badger Graphic (www.badgergraphic.com). I have purchased lenses, cameras, and the normal extras from both of them. I only have good things to say about their service.
