donald_miller1 Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 When I was last there, Robert Waxman Cameras was handling a full line of large format equipment. There were several used camera dealers as well...however their names escape me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_kadillak6 Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Waxmans went by the wayside in the corporate world and was acquired by Wolf Photo. The industrial shop downtown is a far cry from what it used to be for large format. Try Denver Pro Photo South near Alameda and Broadway, Wasatch on Federal, Englewood Camera in South Denver on Broadway and Mikes Camera in Boulder. Call ahead and find out what they have in Large Format as it is hit and miss with inventory new and used. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mateo_leyba1 Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 The previous post has all the right places to look, except Wasatch has closed for good. I shoot 8x10 and with the exception of some old lenses and a shutter release, none of these stores have much else. I spend $ locally when I can, but most of the time Badger Graphic gets my loot. I would bring two of everything :) BTW the traditional afternoon thunderstorms (and snow) are in full swing in the mountain areas. Bring rain gear and warm clothes if your heading to high elevations. mateo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_kent2 Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 An important law for nature shooters is that gear will only break (or jump into a stream) in the most remote, farthest hiked, most photogenic locations. You will not be near Denver when your gear breaks... Get your usual dealer to "next day express" replacement gear to the nearest h/motel. If you do happen to be near Denver, then <a href="http://www.denverprophoto.com">Denver Pro Photo </a>is easy to get to (off I25, South of I70, parking) - they don't have much in the way of LF lenses/cameras, but do stock all of the film/holders/releases/filters/bags that you could want.

pete_caluori Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 The last time I was in Denver Pro Photo (a few months ago) they had very little in the way of LF film. They had some Fuji and Kodak E6 films, but no B&W. Regards, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn_kroeger Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Is Werner's still open... they used to stock a wide array of LF equipment and film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_salomon Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 S and S Optika also knows large format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_youmans Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 S&S Optika also has a very nice darkroom available for LF. Ask for Tim, he's an 8x10 shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
