Re: Not a test - question about stores in LA
Welcome to the list. I'm not an Angelino, but I do spend a few months a year there on business, so I've done some camera shopping in the city. I was going to say Samy's on Fairfax, but I see it's already on your list. They occasionally have a Pentax rep visit, usually in conjunction with one of their promotional events. I bought a couple of used Pentax lenses from them before I discovered ebay. We do have a couple of full time LA residents, so perhaps you'll get a better answer.
