Because brick and mortar camera shops have gotten so scarce in most of the country I thought I would mention mine. Lee Hartman & Sons (https://leehartman.com/) began as a radio repair shop in 1946, and has grown into a major regional sales, rental, and service company for radio, TV, home stereo systems, and sound reinforcement. They had been selling camcorders for years when our long time local camera store chain, Ewald-Clark, closed. Some customers urged them to add a still photography department to fill the void, and they did so. They sell Nikon, Canon, and other brands of cameras and lenses, as well as non-OEM lenses such as Tamron. They have a variety of accessories including Manfrotto and other brands of tripods and monopods, as well as photographic lighting equipment. Their prices are competitive with major online retailers. I have been a stereo and sound reinforcement customer there since 1987. They have been my camera shop since I bought my DSLR in 2018, and most of the photographic equipment that I own was purchased there.
