Dear John
Henry's is an old, big photo shop in downtown Toronto. I remember
them from when I attended Ryerson Photo Arts. Very respectable &
quite active recently on the net.
I was never enthused with their prices, tho.
I get the feeling LowePro is somehow cheaper in Canada all over. I
bought an Omni Traveller Extreme with the pelican hard case for ~$180
cdn, about $110 US.
