What customers say
I had such a great experience here! I am new to film, and I brought my grandma’s point and shoot camera to make sure it was still functioning and get some new film. They were so helpful with taking a look at the camera, showing me how to use it, and loaded the new film for me.
Neat little shop that draws hobbyists and photography enthusiasts. Lots of refurbished film cameras available here. The owner also does repairs and is starting to process film.
Such a cool little shop! My husband was in camera heaven! They have tons of vintage/modern cameras, film, ect. Super friendly staff and very helpful!
Awesome developing service, quick turn around. Awesome people and very informative.
