Interesting suggestions echoing my own experiences.. I bought my first Fuji, an XE-1 from LD and now a number of lens and the standard peripherals. Here in Vernon, the shop is quite small, but they have always been eager to accommodate my queries and make my purchases as easy as is possible. They will and do draw upon the stores in the area or from Vancouver. One fellow that I get to deal all to infrequently is a strong advocate of Fuji and I quite enjoy working with him in solving any concerns or questions I might have. I was fortunate to have Vistek and Henry's in TO for many years, and thus my query as I'm not that familiar with any Vancouver shops.
Thank you for your responses.
