What customers say
Really happy with their services! I’ve been coming here almost weekly for development and scans. They’re super speedy and do a great job. They set reasonable turnaround times and exceed them. They’ve also got a great film selection that’s stored in the fridge at a proper temp.
I began my journey in film photography with PhotoSource, where the knowledgeable and helpful staff played a pivotal role in cultivating my skills, particularly in the techniques of pushing and pulling film.
Employees are really nice and helpful. I picked up a film camera and lenses from a thrift store and Jose helped me make sure it was working and let me know that the foam needed to be replaced. They were quick and had it finished the next day even though they told me it would take 3-4 days.
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.
