Hi.
I'm on San Francisco for two days, and i need to buy a Sigma 1.4x tele converter, and maybe a Canon 60D camera.
Is there a photography store like adorama, b&h on San Francisco ?
Thanks.

They seem to have a wide selection if I recall. I stopped in last fall to replace lost lens caps. Prices weren't too bad....but it was just a lens cap. 5Dmk2 | 24-105f4 | 16-35f2.8 | 70-200f2.8

That has to be one of the worst sites I have seen in a long time. It just lists every camera store that has been in the area in the last few years, many of which have been out of business for a long, long time. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
