Hey all Im in the So Cal area and I am looking to get a nifty fifty tomorrow and also just wanted to look at other lenses. So I am wondering where do you people in So Cal go for lenses.

Sammy's Camera, Calumet Photo, any Canon certified dealer, and Craigslist.

I'm appalled at the lack of good camera shops in LA. I order everything online, from B&H or Adorama.


Check out my feedback here.

There are some good camera shops in L.A. but they don't come anywhere near the prices you can get form Adorama or B&H amazon etc.

I still like going to Sammy camera or Pauls Photo in Torrance to look at stuff or ask questions but purchasing I do on-line.

Also take a look a Canoga Camera. Their prices are the same as Adorama, or B&H. The downside being CA sales tax.

If you go to Samy's, they will match the others prices. You just gotta ask.

Yes smart people who don't like overpaying for lenses.
