Here's another one in Esquel-Patagonia it's getting harder to find these shops, and once you found'em they are mostly converted to cell phone shops, still boasting the Kodak or Fuji colours of days gone by.

Camera (shop) hunting in India has been a huge disappointement. My be'st chances on finding anything would have been in Dehli, but because of the heavy riots between muslims and hindu's ( with several deathts) Dehli was an occupied city in wich we couldn't freely move around in, streets were blocked and it was inpossible to get through the maze of little alleys to get to the place where the camera shops were supposed to be. Moving on to Jaipur this was the closest thing to a camera shop i've seen in that city. In Varanasi the nikon and panasonic signs weren't very encouraging and i suppose whatever was in store has been ritually burned and thrown in to the Ganges to get it out of their misery. In Jodpur there was this Nikon collect shop, they didn't sell anything camera wise, it was just a drop off point for nikon's in need of repair. Then at last when visiting some havelli's in Mandawa i found this basket of sorry excuses for a camera, i could easely resist the temptation of buying any thing here.
After that the corona curfew struck and we were locked up in our hotel in Rohet, a small village some 600Km from Dehli, for the remaining 14 days of our 5 week holiday in India.
Waiting for our flight to Paris in a deserted Dehli airport.
Complete lockdown in Paris, trying to catch a train to Brussels. No more distance adventures for a while, all camera buisness will be online untill things settle down...

On my third visit to Iceland i've found another small photoshop. This time in the charming litle town of Borganes. Furthermore i've noticed that in most small villages there would allways be a photographer offering his (or her) services in documenting your stay in Iceland.

Here's one I've forgot from when I was in a "mercada" somewhere in Buenos Aires (buenos Aires is BIG) I've just read the request to not make the published images larger than 640pixels to not overload the site with data, so from now on 640pixels it is.

I believe that I actually visited that place about 15 years ago, IIRC it is in a gallery downtown.

Looks like it. I used to source my film in Centro Mayorista, which is in the general same area. Centro Mayorista. An excellent place at the time, and whenever Argentina gets back on its large feet. Prices are lower than what I usually get from B&H, considering shipping and customs tax. Very nice and knowledgeable people.
