I have had a lot of trouble with Adorama several years ago and will no longer go near them. I like B & H. They are reliable, honest, and have good quality stuff. For optics you may want to look at some of the companies that advertise in Birding. They specialize in birding equipments. Eagle Optics is one I have hear good things about.

I got these names out of a recent issue of Popular Photography: Adorama AAA Camera Exchange Tri-State Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
