I am interested in opening a store that specializes in photography
equipment.  From cameras, digital and film, film. ink jet papers, some
darkroom supplies (digital and film), printers, etc.  How do I find
suppliers for such stuff.  I am thinking of a store that is a more
specialized then B and H photo here in Manhattan.  More like their
original store before they became a mega store but smaller.

It might be worth seeing what Photo Marketing Association
International (a major industry organization for the photography
trade) might offer potential retailers: http://www.pmai.org  The PMAI
holds an annual trade show; it may be worth attending as part of your
research in opening your shop.

Also, many manufacturers of photography equipment use independent
sales reps to sell their wares. You might find a local sales rep who
might be able to provide some insights to you. The PMAI website I
think has a searchable member directory that might help you get
started there...

Thank you very much!
