I shopped there too around that time. Henry's is no longer a "relatively small
shop", and the last time I was there I wasn't too impressed with either the
attitude or the prices. YMMV, but they keep listing the same stuff on eBay for
the same prices, which never seems to sell. For example, I was looking for a
bracket for a Rollei E36 RE flash. They listed one, but at what I considered
to be a unattractive price. I finally got one much cheaper on evil-Bay, and
shipped from the UK it was considerably cheaper. I mean, how big a market is
there for those? You'd think if they listed the same item over and over and
over, they'd get the idea.
