Here's where I get my gear:

Ask for Jody-- he'll hook you up. Some of the nicest people in the business, period.

Brad Berger's team will give you personal attention and take care of your photographic needs.

If it exists, B&H probably has it in stock.

Most of my gear is carried in Think Tank bags.

I keep my Nikon's sensor dust-free for spotless images with a CopperHill cleaning kit and brush.
