hahaha good for you, I'm sure you'll enjoy your decisions. I'm safe tho, no money for the trip. No money to logon to their website either. Have fun! Looking forward to the results of your purchases.

Yea when I went to NYC that was one of the major places I wanted to see. It was pretty awesome, it's cool how they have a conveyor belt system in the celling that will deliver your goods to the check out lane. Lots of friendly helpful people there as well, wish I lived closer I would go there all the time.

It sounds like an amazing place. There is a local photo group that sometimes charters a bus for a day trip to B&H. I missed the last one

B&H in Manhattan is pretty much the Willy Wonka of Photography.

LOVE it!!!! That's awesome!

When I get my big, thick B&H catalog in the mail, my husband cracks up and thinks I'm a bit nuts because I jump up and down yelling "Camera Porn!!"

when we lived in Long Island NY, my wife commuted to the city via the LIRR that stops at the Penn station on 35th and 7th, so two blocks away from B&H, she did most of the pick up for gizmos for me...in 1999 I project managed the y2k implementation of a new software at GHI on the opposite corner of 9th and I spent a few lunch and afternoon there.
