Adolph Gasser

[John Kasaian]

I just returned from Gasser's.
There is still plenty of stuff at excellent prices. a couple of Majestic tripods, a ton of filters. Kodak chemicals, camera cases (even some vulcanoid period stuff) lots a dark room manuals, a copy of Edward Weston's Day Books, guillotine cutters, a really cool 8x10 contact printer (which I'm already having remorse over not buying) enlarging lenses, and a bunch of both Minette and Gepe cable releases. They probably still had some LF cameras for sale in the rental dept. but as I was trying to beat the traffic home, I didn't stick around to ask for details.
If you drive a really tiny car, there is even free parking in the lot across the street.
A truly great camera store (one of my first stops after I bought the 'dorff about 19 years ago, in fact---IIRC, I bought a lens board from them that day) and a lot of History.
I'll miss it very much!

I had never heard of it but saw it walking by one afternoon a couple years ago. I bought a cable release (expensive, maroon colored) that is now my favorite.

The Minette cable releases are very nice.
