We came to the Camera Bar and we're met with kindness and a efficient pleasent expirence! Sysadmin was our cashier and our camera expert who in a few quick questions had discovered our problem and found a lense for our camera in his inventory, while also answering some of our own questions about the gear that we had bought but weren't sure on. Turns out that what we had bought online didn't go at all to this camera and he saved us alot of searching and money with his expertise. Thank you so much and we will definitely be spreading good word of such a lovely, 40 years in the business camera shop!
