RecommendedKnowledgeable, friendly & fun staff. No question too large or small. ❤️🎞
Been going here for over 35 years. Still great friendly service.
A must for photographers and camera nerds.
Fantastic! Staff was great and they have cool stuff.
It is invaluable to glean from the collective knowledge and experience of these great folks. Film photography and adapting classic lenses for modern digital cameras are just a couple of ways they remain relevant. They are knowledgeable and friendly—a real pleasure!
Their service was really good. Nice and friendly staff. Will be coming back.

This spot is like a dream for a photography enthusiasts. I found about this store in Google maps and thought what I will find there and what I did found it was amazing. So many film cameras and lenses that most of photographers can find their needs. Some might even find unique items you can't find anywhere else.
They dug through a few bins looking for a specific unique Graflex lens board I needed. They had it and even had two of them. Thanks so much!
