Arliington Camera in Arlington on Randol Mill and Cooper. Competative Camera on Irving Blvd (Industrial) or Warehouse Photographic in Carrollton on Beltline. I would call any of them first and make sure they have what you need. There are a few more specialized places around. I'm sure someone will kick in with some names.

light tec also has some, or can get it for you if they don't have any in stock

they're on chemical street, not far from competitive. Dallas camera is about three doors down also from there.

Arlington camera is the best for a really wide selection at all price ranges. Competitive camera is the high end strictly pro stuff, so it depends on what you are looking for. Both are great places with super friendly and knowledgable folks.

I second Light Tec for paper and more so for rental lenses and lights. If it's grip or light equipment, they've got it. Huge Mola dishes, softboxes, fresnels, etc. Talk to either Scott or Miguel. Both really nice guys.

And I'll second Dallas Camera.. honestly, never been into Light Tec.. seems like every time I've tried to rent from them, they've been out of whatever I needed, so I stopped trying.

We use lighttec's rental space on occasion. If out in Fort Worth, there is Fort Worth Camera off of 7th Street and Montgomery. Jeff the owner is a good guy. Similar offerings to Arlington Camera.
