What customers say
I am a canon guy. They bought some of my old equipment. They have a great selection of equipment and lenses. They spent a lot of time letting me try some lenses. The sales people were knowledgeable. I had no idea they were here, wish I had known sooner. Update 1.
Every time I've gone in someone is quick to offer help. Great selection and the ability to order online and pick up is nice. Will update if I ever take a class or use any of their service options.
Midwest Photo Exchange has been my go to spot for film photography needs for nearly a decade now. My most recent experience with the fine folx at MPEX solidified why I continue to return!
Stopped in at Midwest Photo yesterday afternoon on my way through Columbus. I walked in and over to the Canon counter and was immediately greeted by Sonnie who asked what I was looking for.
