Yes, B&H is legit. The family-run New York retailer opened in 1973 as a small film shop on Warren Street in Tribeca, named after founders Blimie and Herman Schreiber, and it now ships cameras, lenses, audio, lighting and computers across the country from a New Jersey fulfilment operation. Its one physical store, on Ninth Avenue at 34th Street, is a Manhattan landmark in its own right.
