Default Thanks Bob @ McBain Camera!

I’d like to give a thumbs-up to Bob at AO site sponsor McBain camera for helping me get Mrs Caber a great Nikon for her recent birthday. Bob replied to my PM and I sent him info on the current gear she had, he replied with some good suggestions. Photography being a bit out of my wheelhouse I still brought her to Bob’s location on her birthday to be sure to get the right unit as it would be akin to her trying to select me a major power tool or firearm. We were in Edmonton for a couple of days as it was so it was a good surprise visit to McBain for Mrs C. His pricing was fantastic and he and his co-workers were very helpful with getting her a great camera. It was even one of the two units that Bob had first recommended and the one I wanted among those two. Anyways, thanks Bob, it was nice to have met you

This is starting to sound like a Monty Python skit

While Monty Python did a pretty good job of it:

It was probably more like the 2 Ronnies.

Are you insinuating something?

Bob is good folks and anyone looking for any kind of optics would be wise to make him your first call. Mcbain Camera is not Best Buy. This is a longtime, specialty business who treats people right.
