What customers say
If you're shooting expired film -- why chance it? Take it to the Pro's at Camera Exposure and let them develop it. They have brought rolls back to life for me that expired over 20 years ago; they have an auto developer machine featured on ABC 10 News -- and boy do they know how to use it.
This shop is amazing!! I go here often I am new to film photography and didn’t know a lot about it or how it works but these guys are awesome never had a problem here and honestly this is now my preferred camera shop to go to I sometimes just call if I have questions and they are super helpful they have warranty’s on…
One of my favorite camera stores in san diego! I have bought multiple pieces of gear from them and it has never disappointed, the prices on most bodies and lenses are pretty close to ebay pricing and very fair, bought a 1dx from them and they were amazing enough to readjust the price from a very old sticker they had…
Went in today to check out their collection and ended up talking to Jameson for a good 10-20 minutes. He was super friendly and easygoing, and really knows his cameras in detail and made some great suggestions for me.
