What customers say
We were vacationing in Michigan and my son's camera needed some cleaning maintenance. We came across this store on Google and drove 45 minutes to get there. The guy at the counter was fantastic and cleaned my son's Cannon for a reasonable charge and did his other lens for no additional charge.
The staff is really friendly & helpful and can answer any questions regardless of the type of camera you own. It's nice to be able to actually try the equipment while you are there to see the results with various lenses and the selection is great whether you need new or used lenses or bags & backdrops, or…
Really like this place. My 1st visit was pretty awesome. Traded in some slightly used equipment towards some new stuff, gave very fair & what I thought was above avg price for the used stuff. Love all the items they have in stock. This is a plus!!
Incredible business! I walked in looking for an old camcorder and they immediately showed me exactly what I wanted for better prices than I found online. The service was phenomenal and I plan on coming back if I ever need anything photography related.
