Bay area reputable vendor?

[tlittleton]

Is there anyone in the San Francisco Bay area that knows of a good gear shop? I'll probably be buying a first lenses here in a few days. There are a bunch in the phone book, but was hoping someone could recommend a good one out here.

Thanks!

The place I like the best is Keeble & Shuchat in Pla Alto 650-327-8996. Depending on the items being purchased and the person you talk to they will match prices with B&H. San Jose Camera might be less $, but not as friendly.

Oh, and I don't recomend going to Keeble & Shuchat if you are spontainious buyer without any will power. They have two stores across the street from each other with almost anything you want in the way of camera gear,

Just my observations.
