The Lug archives have tons of good information on Paris, but most is at least two years old. Some things change, some donšt - so I would appreciate any advice on the following: 1) What are the best bookstores for new and used photo books? 2) What are the current interesting photo exhibits - in museums or galleries? 3) I saw a reference somewhere to Vanves - southern part of Paris with lots of old bookstalls??? 4) The archives mention a photo flea market south of Paris in early June. Does it still exist? This might be fun, but I do not plan to spend any real time looking for equipment. 5) any recommendations on Minilabs - especially with B&W chromogenic films - what are the prices like? 6) How about pro labs for regular B&W processing and contact sheets. 7) How are film prices in Paris. I will probably take the M5 and Hexar RF with 35M, 50M, and 90 Tele-Elmarit. I will emphasize B&W, but will bring some color neg since the flowers should be in bloom. We will mostly walk. I hope to do lots of street photography and enjoy the sights and exhibits. Any other suggestions will be appreciated. I read the digest, so my replies may be delayed. Thanks to all in advance.
