Hi forum members,
Is there a good camera store in the suburban Boston area where I can buy fresh 4x5 film and chemistry?
I plan on visiting there soon and will bring my Chamonix 045-N1 and would love to buy fresh film locally.
I lived there many years ago before I knew anything about film.
Thanks in advance for suggestions and recommendations.
Hunt and Newtonville.
Since their move to a new location in Waltham, Newtonville no longer stocks darkroom stuff, and probably not 4x5 film either. Hunt's is the place - go to the mother ship in Melrose for the deepest stock, the satellite stores will carry little if any sheet film or chemistry. Or call ahead so they can transfer what you need to the Boston (Kenmore Sq) or Cambridge (Harvard Sq) store for pickup if those are closer to where you expect to be.Quote:

There’s a huntsphoto in Harvard square (I think)otherwise you will be hoofing it to melrose... they seem to be the last ones...
www.catlabs.info
sells:
Darkroom paper, chemistry, film, enlargers, film processors etc, etc.
Located in Boston.
Sorry, Omer - didn't realize you're carrying chemistry and paper now, as they're not listed on your website.

I’ll be staying with friends in Medford and visiting my Mom nearby. Good to know that Catlabs has a retail store!
OK, so Melrose actually won't be that far out of the way for you. (Before Omer hauls out the wet noodle: you can visit Roslindale, too. :))
+1 or I would have rather mentioned you than the drug store in melrose.Quote:
