Winsor you write:<< I was in New York in December 95 and visited B&H. Could

improved? Winsor Crosby >>
SNIP !
I was in N Y last DEC 97 for a company Xmas gig, the new store is huge. This
is the only place I have actually seen an OLY display. On Sunday AM,(They are
closed on Saturday, I found out the hard way) probably 60 to 75 people in the
store. In the USED ROOM (25' x 40' ?) there was 6 or 7 salesmen behind the
counter and you had to take a number, it took maybe 8 or 10 min. I looked at a
couple of OM3 bodies and 180 f2.8's, mostly to check their condition
evaluation system, NOT AS GOOD AS I WOULD USE. The salesman said they stock
everything they advertise, and I believe it! The GITZO area was maybe 10' x
30' and had 30 + pods set up! This is a must see if you visit N.Y.C.
