IMO, no one store in Toronto can lay claim as best overall. Downtown Camera has some good points but when they jacked up the price of Rodinal after Agfa went belly up, well I thought that wasn't cricket. Henrys hasn't changed their price on Rodinal since I've been buying it there. However, Henrys darkroom section is pitiful really. Vistek has the stuff I need for work and play and the free parking ALWAYS helps. Sure some staff are surly but overall they've been helpful.

I'll stop by and shop at any store that has the stuff I need and treats me like a human being and doesn't try to insult me.

Buy the bag from the store in Alberta or wherever it is ... See how much it costs you in the end to get it .. Then get Vistek to price match it .. In no way or form am I standing up for Vistek but some people ask too much

sorry, out of topic, but is Aden Camera good? Are they reliable?

I found something I would like to buy at Aden, but I never purchase anything from them.

Aden's usually has pretty decent prices overall and i've bought a bunch of things from them (mostly filters, accessories, etc.).

Indeed, we may wish all retailers price matched everything but at the end of the day it's their choice whether they wish to do so or not. I'm ok with retailers either way, as long as they are consistent about it. We can simply vote with our wallets by shopping or not shopping there.

Canon BG-E7 Battery Grip for the EOS 7D Digital SLR Camera

Adorama: $179.95
Henry's: $369.99
Vistek: $369.95

I'm not linking Henry's or Vistek cause they're douchbags and don't deserve it.

Aden is $70 less than henrys or vistek...but still $120 more than adorama, excluding shipping/duty/brokerage/exchange...

Sometimes the USA looks good... sometimes it don't. Case in point;

AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/4G ED VR II

B&H $8,499.00 US dollars (+ tax, and other costs - no warranty in Canada)
Aden $8,219.99 (+ tax - Canadian warranty)

Oh yeah, and in stock at Aden. Temporarily unavailable at B&H.

I always check carefully before assuming that the US superstores are priced better. I bought my 16 mm at Aden for less than B&H, far less ($799.99 vs $919.00 US) . Prices are about the same at Adorama (pennies difference between them and B&H).
