What customers say
Great spot and very helpful staff. Was visiting from out of town and needed some film developed and their turn around was fast. They also helped in taking a look at and cleaning up an old film camera. My dad used to go here decades ago and glad to find that it was still in business.
Nice staff. Looked like a very complete film camera service and sales center. Nice inventory of new and used equipment.
