Good prices at Le Camera in NJ

[MenacingTourist]

This is mainly for people in NJ, Delaware and eastern PA...

Le Camera, located in Trenton has been a very good resource in providing used darkroom items. I recently bought a 4 blade 11x14 easle for $30 and they have another as well. They also have a good supply of enlarger lenses that I've enjoyed picking over.

The prices on non darkroom items can sometimes be higher than expected but it's at least worth a trip if you're close. For me it made sense if the prices were close to e*bay and most of what I bought was below.

They also have a few 8x10 holders in better than average shape kicking around (I bought 6 this weekend).

I figured it wasn't nice to keep this source all to myself

They're still in business. I thought they went bankrupt years ago?

Yes they are still in business. The owner and his wife went to the same HS with my wife. I have met his wife but not Phat Le the owner. I heard that they closed for a while due to theft.

Haven't heard of theft trouble but I've only been going for about 6 months. Phat Le is a pretty nice guy. He's also agreed to carry EMULSION so he's down with supporting film.

Seems like everytime I go in there he's got a bunch more darkroom stuff I need

Well thanks, MenacingTourist! I went there to check it out and by the time
I left, my wallet was $320.00 lighter.
They have a lot of nice stuff and let me take all the time I wanted checking out lenses.
