What customers say
This is a long and long-overdue review of the products and the service I received when I stopped in hoping to find a used pocket sized 35mm film camera for a 2024 Christmas present. Not only did I find a great camera, battery, and a nice case, but I was fully schooled on how to load and use it.
So lucky to have found this place! Had some negatives from 1944 of my father when he was in the military. Drop the negatives off at 11 and at 3 PM Received a call that they were ready to be picked up! Talk about service! And they took great care of my 80-year-old negatives!
Dick and Brian have run the best photo equipment and film development/printing business in Iowa since I moved here in 1992. They have always shared their knowledge with everyone in the community. Good people that I highly recommend.
