My Parents are going to NY and Boston this week, i asked if they could pick up a lens or some filters for me.
Does anyone know of High street camera chains in the US that they can find easily, the equivelent of Jessops basically.
it would also help me find prices before they go.

The most reputable one in NYC is B and H. It's on the junction of 34th and 9th avenue in Manhattan. It's massive and a photographers heaven!

Another vote for B&H. Hassidic owned, so closed Saturday, open Sunday. Going to the store is an experience!

No sooner had I landed in NY and checked into our hotel I was straight down to B&H where I promptly spent $2000. Great store, was worried I'd get ass raped by customs on the way back though.
