Johns Cameras and Records

I've been stopping in to see John for over a decade, back when his shop was across the road in what is now a pizza stand; when he was only selling camera gear . In all that time, he and the store have had an eclectic collection of camera gear. I've walked in and found a full set of studio strobes, or a bucket of disposable film cameras, or a crate of 35mm film bodies in various states right from his latest find.If he hasn't sorted through his latest purchase, he will offer really great prices if you pick through it yourself. My set of Braun potato-masher studio strobes and portable charge pack couldn't be in my amateur hands at normal retail price.He has recently (several years ago, now) moved to the current location and expanded to record sales as well. The selection of vintage and new records is excellent. If you don't have a turntable, he has some quality ones on hand. And, if you are lucky and get there just as it has come into the shop, a whole hi-fi set for a bargain price. More...

Records, cameras, collectible odds and ends! I've loved visiting Gentry Studios for as long as I can remember.

Today was the first time I've been in John's store and I was in love with all the vintage cameras. I collect vintage cameras and I managed to walk out the store with four new collectable cameras. I can't wait to go back, best place to go look at old cameras. More...
