Can anybody recommend an LF-equipment and/or LF-film store in the Miami - Fort Lauderdale area? Thanks.

aperture in Miami Beach, Pitman in Miami if you need film. Aperture in MB and Carousel Studio in Miami are rental dealers with rental studios as well.

You might also go by 1st Street Gallery in Boca Raton. The owner, Michael Kravit, buys film in bulk. Check the website at www.1streetgallery.com.

I was in Pitman a few days ago. They didn't even have a box of 4x5 T-MAX 100. They might have color large format film, but thats not my thing so i didn't ask. Precision Photo in Boca has 4x5 film.

I'm finding out after being here for 8 months that south Florida is pretty bleak when it comes to good camera stores. I guess now I know how good I had it in the SF bay area.

good luck

CORRECTION:

The 1st Street Gallery in Boca Raton is owned by Jeffery Segar not Michael Kravit.

South Florida is a tough place to find LF equipment and film.

Two places I know of that sell 4x6 Polaroid and TMX is Pro-Angle Photo in Boca Raton, and the Palm Beach Photographic Center in Delray Beach. I have never had any luck buying LF film in Ft. Lauderdale or Miami.

Having lived in S. Florida since 1972, I can tell you that the pickings are slim and I order my LF film and gear primarily from Badger Graphic. With FedEx I get it the next day when needed.

Good Luck Mike
