Michaels used to rule the 2nd market during my days. With that huge corner
window running the side of Lonsdale Street, they had just about anything but
then Camera Exchange came up and offered interesting and worthy competition.
Then Camera Action down the right - with Paul Clayton and Tony Garcia -
upped the competition again. But in the end, Michaels was still ahead. Maybe
not these days but back then, they were imperious.
