What customers say

We went in to get a new battery for our Canon rebel and the staff was awesome. They helped us put in battery to confirm it was working and also even cleaned the camera. Service was exceptional.

The best place for film photographers and digital demagogues. Only repair service in town. My old large format 120 cameras responded well to their ministrations. If your just starting out in the analog film world this is the place to go. It's a fascinating hobby They also have some (used) spare parts.

I went in looking for some vintage lenses and I left with a great telephoto lens! They helped me find a good option and all the people there I felt with were all very knowledgeable. Even after I bought it I somehow got the rear cap on the lens stuck on one of my other lenses and they helped me get that off too.
