What customers say
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for making my dreams a reality! Thanks to your exceptional service and expertise, I now have my dream camera in my hands. From the moment I walked into your store, I knew I was in the right place.
I walked in to have someone look over an issue with a film camera I was having problems with that I purchased a month ago and was greeted by Daniel. Daniel was very friendly and very quick to resolve my problem.
Just came in to look around, we needed some help so we came up to this lady with blonde and blue hair to ask a couple of questions. She was acting all snobby, trying to make us feel dumb for asking questions. Acting like she didn't want to answer us.
Excellent service!!! Very friendly and helpful staff. I picked up a bucket list camera and they gave me great price for my trade in. Highly recommend these guys👍 They are stocking more LEICA products now than ever so check them out and buy local right here Houston.
