Hi,
I'm going to St. Louis for a business trip and will be there one week. Since I can't be shooting (ever try to bring collodion, ether, and other unusual chemicals on an airplane?!) I wonder if there are any interesting shops with LF antique cameras?

Take a look at Schillers.

Schillers is about your only choice. I haven’t been there for awhile but the last time I was there the LF stuff was scarce. I asked a clerk (a new guy I hadn’t seen before) for two 25 sheet boxes of 5x7 HP5+ and after disappearing to the back room for a few minutes he emerged and asked “What is HP5+?”

OK, thanks. I mostly just want to look for old LF lenses and such, I bet there are more antique shops than where I am, and there were more photographers.

You can also try OJ's Camera.
