What customers say
Nice selection and the people who work there are very knowledgeable, which is a great combination if you're not sure what to buy or have questions. Decent selection of cameras and lenses for Canon, Nikon, Fugi and Sony. They also sell used cameras (including film camers) and lenses and can develop film.
The two areas ace photos excels at is their inventory and their customer service. While trying to find the right extender at the right price, I was presented with hands-on expertise and patience.
The best camera store in America! When I moved to Virginia years ago I kept ordering my photo gear from a couple of New York stores until I discovered Ace Photo in Sterling. Since then I’ve never purchased my photo gear anywhere else!
It was so nice to be able to go into a local specialty store and see the cameras ans get expert advice before making a purchase. Excellent knowledge staff amd they had everything I needed. Great shop with lots of intersting equipment that was mostly above my head.
