Question Good camera stores near LAX?

I know, kind of an oddball question but I have a long layover coming next at LAX and I also happen to have a piece of gear I'm trying to find. I'm wondering if there are any really good camera stores that are either "near" LAX or really easy to get to via public transportation? Specifically, I need a store that's a really good Nikon dealer. If not, no biggie, I can always try at my final destination.

Samy's Camera's is a great store. Closest one is here:

Just take the bus from the LAX Bus transit center.

specifically, this one:

Culver City
4411 Sepulveda Blvd.
Culver City, CA 90230

It's a 10 minute bus ride from LAX Bus Center. Take Culver City #6 and get off at Sepulveda/Braddock. The bus stop is right in front of the store.

The bus fare is $1 each way.

Thank you both! I called them up and they don't have the part. Just for giggles, I called Nikon USA and the phone rep told me that the part is a myth?!? (Rather odd since the part shipping in other parts of the world.) So it looks like I won't have to worry about finding a store after all. :-/

Bel-Air Camera in Westwood is very good. It is about 12 miles away and there is a fly away bus that goes to Westwood.

I refuse to deal with Samy's after a dispute with his wife with my commercial account years ago. You can PM me for reasons not to go there.

Thanks for that! I'll try to give them a call once they've opened.
