Update: They moved to Itasca. They're a small shop, but with a few friendly, helpful staff. In stock, they carry some Panasonic and Olympus µ4/3, then Canon, Nikon and Sony for the larger formats. That's just a small part of their shop. They seem to mostly focus on supporting pros. They have some film and darkroom stuff, but phone first, if you're looking for something specific. If you're in the area, it's worth supporting them.

That means Central Camera is pretty much a monopoly in Chicago now. They seem to sell probably 90% to students attending local schools. (DePaul and Columbia are walking distance)
