Recently, I’ve been thinking about getting back into film and I found this camera shop. It is amazing, they are real enthusiasts. The great news is they sell used film camras. There was an Nicon there that just had my name on it. I can’t say enough about these people. Great experience! That’s Mike, the owner.

Rude and unprofessional. This place lacks proper customer service. 12/31/2025 I was a potential customer and chose not to proceed due to unprofessional communication. In no way I lowballed you, I asked if you were firm on the price and had wiggle room. I respect that not every inquiry leads to a sale but professionalism should remain consistent, whether in-store or online, and your response, once again, reflects why my review was written. Thank you for validating my point.

Very nice people. I came here to get my first ever roll of film developed (attached picture was from that roll). They even looked at my negatives with me to give me some pointers. Every time I come in we end up bs'ing for 15 min and I feel kind of bad for holding them up from their jobs lol.

What an awesome photo shop! I needed to get some negatives scanned into digital files and since they weren't very busy they were ready the next day! It's super fun looking at the vintage cameras and photos that decorate the store. They have lots of cameras and supplies for sale. The parking lot is right on Elvas and can be a little difficult to turn into depending on which side of the street you are on. It's on a corner so look for the big sign and you can use the neighborhood streets to drive by in another direction if needed. The staff were really friendly, too. I highly recommend them for all of your photography needs!

I purchased my first digital camera from here a couple of weekends ago - the Fujifilm X-T20 and a wonderful lens for a great price. Milo assisted me - he was very patient, insightful, and answered my many questions. The camera came with its original box, manuals, and charger. Milo gave me a used camera bag they had in the shop, and a starter SD Card. I am enjoying the learning process and so glad I went with this option as my first camera.
