Reviews of Blue Moon Camera & Machine

Chris Carley

A great small film camera shop. Always an interesting selection of cameras and lenses. They'll also have pretty much whatever film you like to shoot including large format and dry plate. Only thing I can fault them for is not being closer to where I live so I only get to swing by when I'm on vacation in Portland.

Jeff Baertsch

Fun business! My main source for film these days. A ton of gorgeous cameras that I've ogled. I haven't bought any new gear in a while but they seem very knowledgeable and hands on when talking about their inventory of cameras and lenses. I develop and scan at home or have another lab by my house do it, but my friends have had good results from their lab too.

Jake Green

I bought my first film camera here and the staff was patient and knowledgable with me. I felt supported even when coming back for future visits to ask more questions. They're a great place to buy a new camera and get your film developed.

Cooper Frantz-Geddes

I live much closer to two other camera shops but I always go out of my way to go to Blue Moon. They are friendly and have great products in stock

Brent Pearse

Quality local used camera shop with a wide variety of brands. The staff is very helpful and down to earth with their advice. I was traveling and stopped in looking for rare finds, left empty handed but gained valuable knowledge.

Grace Song

Best place in Portland to learn about camera, films, and just everything that are related to Photography. I come here to develop films, but also to purchase vintage film cameras and to learn how to use them as well. Super helpful staffs who are willing to answer any questions. Always come here and leave with a smile on my face. Phenomenal experience!

No business or person is perfect. Blue Moon Camera & Machine is no exception. But, what distinguishes a 5 star business from others is how they handle their mistakes... Blue Moon made at least 3 during my first order, but handled each one with professionalism: 1) I came to pick up my order and it was missing one item. Fortunately I noticed it before I left the store. (The employee, David, apologized and quickly found the missing item.) 2) When I got home, the USB flash drive I gave them to upload my scanned images was empty. (I had to call three separate times to resolve the issue, but all employees I talked to were personable and professional. I was able to download the images via a Dropbox link they sent me.) 3) They only gave me one page to hold slide mounts instead of two. (I was told over the phone that the next time I can come in, they'll give me a few sheets free of charge.) Despite those mistakes, I felt like a valued customer the whole time. I will be coming back for more business again in the near future! I really appreciate Blue Moon Camera & Machine. There aren't a lot of options for film photography in the greater Portland area and their glowing reviews are well deserved.

joe boitano

Still here. Looks like a nice store inside. Wide selection. My existence has not even been acknowledged. Nobody has said good afternoon or asking if I need any help with anything. Been here now for 10 minutes and have seen people come in and be assisted and I haven't even been acknowledged. Will update once I actually get assistance.

K Kealey

The staff really know what they are talking about and are very friendly. Went in hoping to find a super 8 and there wasn't one but they had so many other great and different film cameras but it wasn't a day to break the bank. Got a waterproof disposable camera since we were going to the beach and hadn't seen one of those in forever.

Sara Segura

I waited to review Blue Moon until my film was developed and I got scans and my negatives back. Verdict: 💯💯 Staff are super helpful and friendly. Everyone is obviously happy to be there, and knowledgeable about film. As this was my first roll of film in a new to me but very old camera, only half of the roll was actually good, so they only charged me for half a roll. So awesome! I'll choose blue moon again and again.

Words cannot express how great Blue Moon is. They employ expertly knowledgeable people to assist anyone, from the novice to the seasoned photographer. Their prices are fair, and you get a sense from the place and the people that they are genuinely passionate about passing on the love of analog photography to their clients. Arthur was extremely helpful in equipping me with everything I need to process film at home, and he devoted a great deal of time to answering my questions to make sure I could make proper use of what I was buying. Blue Moon is a Portland gem, and I know I’ll be coming back for years to come for all things photographica.

Allison Conway

I was really impressed with the time, knowledge, passion and dedication these employees demonstrate to fix you up with the right gear. I was looking to get into film for the first time. Jackson took the time to help me weigh all of my film camera options, talking through the pros and cons of each camera type and brand. Which they have a great variety in inventory! When we found a match, he walked me through all of the functions in great detail. This was very helpful for a beginner, I highly recommend this place to photographers of all levels.

Daniel Rider

Great lab and film camera retailer. Their stock of cameras is incredible. The really special ones go quick. They process film masterfully and even did some 16mm film for me. Highly recommend this lab. The staff is super professional and friendly. Simply a joy to work with Blue Moon.

Boyd Anderson

I visited on a Sunday afternoon and although there were several other customers there, they had plenty of staff available and I was helped quickly. If you needed friendly and knowledgeable people to help you with anything related to film cameras and developing, this is the place you want to be.

Will Easter

I purchased a 1917 Remington Model 10 Typewriter from them from North Carolina. And, their customer service (with multiple people) at every step of the way was truly fantastic! Since I wasn't local, I had a lot of questions and they happily answered them all and even emailed me pictures of specifics that I had inquired about. Great team of people... and, a really cool machine too!

Haley Morris

Love this place. 10/10 customer service, knowledge, care, etc. etc. Wouldn't trust my film or questions anywhere else. Fair prices and amazingly smooth interactions/work. For a film newbie, Blue Moon is especially open, friendly, and unintimidating too. I hope they stay in st. johns forever!!

Soumya Nadabar

I went in several months ago when they were doing curbside service. David (?) brought out several cameras for me to check out and helped me choose the one that I wanted and explained all of its features to me. They were patient with all of my questions that I had as a beginner. Since then, I've always gone here to develop my film and service is always great and friendly. Highly recommend this place!

Caitlyn Marshall

I sent in my Minolta camera a while back. They told me every step of the process of what they would do to my camera, as well as responding promptly. I live half way across the country, and was concerned about sending my camera in to a place I knew nothing about, but after reaching out and having them answer some of my questions, I am very glad I chose them! I have already sent in another camera, and am very excited for future transactions!!

Sam Pete

Wonderful, friendly, helpful staff. While I'm sure there are other film photography shops I could go to and get great service, nothing beats Blue Moon. Highly recommended their services. Besides, even if you're not into photography the store has an amazing collection of vintage film cameras that the staff would be more than happy to tell you the histories of. A Portland institution.

William Parrish

I was in need of a minolta maxxum 400mm lens for a airshow last weekend and I spoke to john in shipping. He had what I needed in stock and assured me that I would have it on Friday of last week. The lens came in time for the airshow. Thank you John for making sure this happens. I will be upgrading my camera to a different brand with Blue moon camera.

P M

Much more than just a curiosity shop filled with cool gear and stuff. This place has the knowledgeable staff, professional film services, and photo supplies that make it a west coast photographic treasure.

Molly Larson

They were super helpful and knowledgeable. I stopped in to buy a point and shoot film camera and he brought out 3 options in my price range, explained their features and how to use them, and helped me pick between them. They are currently doing outside service where they bring options out to you, but the quality of service was excellent. I'll definitely come again for any camera needs.

jennifer gonzalez

I wish they accepted tips, Renee was so helpful yesterday and went out of her way to help me. I came in with a new to me Kodak Target Brownie six 20 (not a fancy camera by any means). She took the time to help me figure out what type and how to load the film - so far as to load the film for me. I didn't have time to walk around the store but was in awe at the number of older model cameras they have available. I live about an hour away but will definitely be back for the customer service but also to take a look at the merchandise.

Ben Simo

A wonderful camera shop with a great selection of reasonably priced used cameras and lenses, and even nicer people.

Richard Pastenes

Friendly and professional customer service plus these people are pros at what they do. Besides always getting quality photo processing, scans, etc, they always give great advice about camera gear, film stock and much more.

Steve Karsten

I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting the actual location, but if I ever get the chance I will make sure to wear pants with really deep pockets so I can’t reach my wallet. What I have done is purchased film cameras and film from the online shop. They also did a fantastic repair/cla on a lens for me and it turned out great. From my experience everything about Blue Moon Camera is above and beyond your expectations in the absolute best way.

Angie Wheeler

We were in Portland for the weekend and falling in love with this place is an understatement. They had cameras that were simply beautiful to look at and film! They also had camera straps, which I needed. Arthur helped us and he was knowledgeable and patient with all of my questions. He let me handle with some cameras and taught me about the way they work. So cool! In all my years of shooting photography, I have never been to a camera store that feels warm and inviting and a staff that is willing to help. Thank you Blue Moon Camera you have my business for life. They sell items online too and do repairs. Looking forward to my next visit online or in person. A Portland gem for sure.

Zachary Zimmitti

When I visited Portland, it was exciting to see a real brick and Mortar film camera store again. When I needed to trade some camera for cash, i shipped them all the way across the country (Hartford Connecticut) to consign. I have some cognitive issues and became confused and offended by something in our contract, and they remained professional and courteous with me. The employee (David) doing the consignment did not lose patience, and gently walked me through the process. These are hardworking, trustworthy people. I will do business and support them as long as they operate.

Phoenix Beauvais

THIS PLACE HAS EVERYTHING I EVER DREAMED OF & MORE. I just went to explore my new home & see what my new film spot would be for buying & developing photos & cameras. My gawd, this place is heaven. I’ve seen stocks here i’ve never even heard of. I’ve never seen such a plethora of options. Didn’t mean to spend as much as I did but it might be a bit before I come back. Definitely my new plug. So excited. The woman who helped was super knowledgable, answered all of my questions & so nice. Superb service & extremely satisfied customer.

Evan Kotsonis

We're lucky to have this place here in Portland. Whether you're a beginner or a professional film shooter, the folks at Blue Moon have your back. The store itself has a magical feel to it when you walk in, or at least it does for me. They have a huge film selection, all sorts of cameras and lenses for sale, and they're experts of film processing/scanning. Couldn't recommend Blue Moon enough.

Shean L

Best place to get your film scanned in PDX for sure. Fast turnaround, sharp scans, and accurate colors. Really friendly, knowledgeable staff, with lots of experience. Go here if you want to get good photos.

Casey Mccarthy

Blue Moon is my favorite store in Portland. I grew up shooting digital photography until a friend gifted me a 35mm Minolta X70. I went to Blue Moon with all of my initial questions and they were a huge help. Shortly there after, I completely ditched digital photography and stick entirely to film. Ive been a customer for Blue Moon for 3 years and have gone to the store at least once a week. They consistently are super professional and friendly in a genuine manner. Did I mention that they organize a photo show curated entirely of their customers work??? Who else does that? reviews are silly but if I was to give a google review for anywhere it would be Blue Moon. Go here!

Taylor O'Neal

I love this place! I never write reviews but I just had to for Blue Moon because I'm so happy I went here! I had come in to try and sell my Hasselblad which also needed some work done. I was there for probably an hour, not because they were busy or anything (which they were, because they're awesome) but because I had a great time talking with them about cameras and film. SO NICE. They sold my camera within a few weeks and I just got my check from them and I'm super happy with what I got back. I wasn't expecting much since it wasn't in working condition when I dropped it off, but they fixed it, sold it, and sent me the check! They are super fair on their percentages and I'm just super thrilled with this place. Definitely going back for all my film needs, it's a bit of a drive for me, but I'd rather drive however long to get here than go anywhere else :)

Robert Launder

They have always handled my film well and are very accommodating if there are any problems. Two rolls of my film got stuck together during processing, and they were kind enough to not only save my pictures, but also send me scans free of charge so I could make sure they were all right (they were 🤗). Highly recommended. …

Kayla Humphrey

Best Camera (film) Store I've Ever Visited! I've been taking photos for 8 years now and visited a lot of camera stores in my time. Especially since I use to live in another state. I can say with the upmost confidence that THIS camera store has been the best. First off, and in my opinion, most importantly the staff treats all skill levels of photographers with the same respect. This is a huge problem I've encountered in many camera stores. Even with some years under my belt as a photographer, I've found that the staff at camera stores to be very condescending and you feel patronized for asking any questions. The main point of going into a physical store location is to ask questions. "what film would you suggest?" "____ keeps happening, can you help me?" etc. etc. When you come into Blue moon the staff are always happy to share ideas and experiences. It feels more like you're talking to a friend. I feel like it's well known and agreed upon that photographers can be the snobbyiest people ever, especially when speaking to new photographers and can "scare off" those who are new to it. You will not find that attitude here.

Brandon Wheeler

This is such a cool little shop!! Arthur was so great and patient with all our questions. He was very knowledgeable and friendly! We stopped in here, and coming from Los Angeles I'm not used to feeling like I as a customer mattered. But here it was a different story. I was asked 3 times from 3 different people if I needed some help. I will definitely be returning here if I am ever back in town.

Ben Lester

I haven't been in yet but I spoke on the phone with Jim about getting my film developed and scanned. What a nice guy! Great service, explained how they process photos and my options for reviewing my film. Plus he had a genuine interest in the photography group I started, which you don't find just anywhere. I can't wait to go in and meet them and get my film processed, 5 stars!

R XP

Me and the girlfriend popped in to the shop after enjoying some brunch across the street at Johns. The salesman was super knowledgeable, approachable, and not pushy in the least. We ended up buying a canon film camera that you can use all of your lenses for your digital camera with. Very cool. I bought a coffee mug. Check it out

Zachary Thede

I purchased one of their vintage typewriters for my wife. The customer service was top notch. They contacted us to tell us they would be double checking the machine before shipping it to be sure it was fully functioning. It was shipped quickly and packed extremely carefully. The typewriter is clean and working well, and the price was very reasonable. I would definitely buy frome them again.

Patrick Kennedy

I live in Colorado but will wait and go out of my way to visit Blue Moon to shop for new glass or drop off film. The staff is extremely knowledgeable. They take the time to help you make a decision that is right for you while educating along the way. Simply the best and a must visit for any film photographer that finds themselves in Portland

Patrick Dehler

This is the best place in Portland to take your film. While experimenting with 120 film and an old camera I wasn't so sure about, the staff here pulled me aside and gave me tips about what I was doing wrong and how to take better pictures with the camera. I don't think they usually have time for this sort of consultation, but it helped me out a lot. Their prices are a not exactly thrifty, but I never feel disappointed when I get my film back and see the results. I disagree with reviewers who say they are overpriced, because any lower priced options I have sought out in this city have been disappointing. You pay for what you get, and if you want great prints, go here.

Frank Rodriguez

Super friendly service, and it's just a terrific store to browse. The salesman tested the shutter on my camera (no charge) and helped me understand it better. The people in the photo lab seem to enjoy their work because they’re always smiling whenever I come in.

G Young

Best service ever. Mike and Art are awesome and they remember your name. Best vintage camera selection ever. Fair pricing and just good honest people. Highly recommend shopping here and having your film developed here. Awesome.. G. Young.

Aaron Cuttino

Just drove over from the coast to get some personal help finding a tripod and a zoom lens...got great help and everything I needed-used at great prices. I'll be back!

Daniel Ribeiro

Blue Moon is simply the best camera shop in Portland. Their incredibly friendly staff, very diverse product line (used and new, including some great antiques), and services stand apart from every other store in town.

Karen Hand

I was looking for a camera bag. I found one. This store is cool. It is for the photographer that still uses film. They have products to you do your own developing they also do developing in the store. Very busy which is good for them. They carry lenses, cameras the works anything you would want if you use a film camera. I was impressed.

S Lin

Been going here since they opened, my film is always great. I've sent my film to a few other places in Portland and it came back messed up. Blue moon is amazing, questions, printing, purchasing cameras... Alll amazing

Paisley Lee

The staff has been super helpful and gotten me everything i need. Every time I've visited the store they always come ask what i need, and help me with the most honest answers. During the stay at home order, i had film developed through them and they communicated really well. I want to thank Tracy for helping me over the phone today!

Erin Johnson

These are awesome people. They love photography. Each employee was knowledgeable and kind. I even had my toddler in there and they were super patient.

Jake Marugg

Best place to get vintage camera gear! Staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and not at all pushy. They genuinely care about helping you get the most out of your camera.

Shuntao Cai

Really great neighborhood camera shop! The staff are cordial and will take their time to help you regardless of how busy it is. The employees are passionate about cameras/film, and are genuinely interested helping you get what you are looking for!

Elise C

Not that this place needs any more 5 star reviews, but I couldn't resist. I don't profess to know a ton about photography or cameras, but when I stopped in today to see what could be done about my dysfunctional polaroid one step, one of the staff offered to help me out and took like 10 minutes trying to troubleshoot the cameras problems. Turns out, my camera's probably busted for good, but it would've taken me much longer to figure that out all by myself! Thanks so much y'all.

Darryll DeCoster

Amazing staff and easily the best camera shop in Portland. Huge selection of used gear ranging from hard to find Leica rangefinders to 8x10 view cameras. Best selection of film in town, and they all know how to use it.

Gary Wasserman

The staff is knowledgeable. The inventory is reasonable but not overwhelming. It's a bit like time travel. Brings back lots of memories. If you want to return to chemical photography this is clearly one off the places to help you do it. Reminds me of Old Sturbridge Village; it's a working museum. Only have it four stars because they didn't have rentals. But they are working on it.

Julieta Ramirez-Solis

It was my first time buying a film camera SO I had no prior experience at all with this sort of camera. The people there helped me find one that fit me and I am grateful for that. I would recommend this place to literally everyone because I loved it so much.

Jake

The level of service provided by Blue Moon is of the highest quality, the communication and politeness is exceptional, the staff are very knowledgable, helpful and friendly! Would highly recommend dealing with these guys! Made my purchase from the UK so simple and hassle free.......a great experience! Can not speak highly enough. Thank you.

Daniel Hedrick

It's probably a good thing I waited so long to visit Blue Moon. There are far too many things for me to spend money on here. They carry Impossible film for your old Polaroid cameras, they carry old Polaroid cameras if you need one to go with your new Impossible film. Basically, if it has to do with film, they probably have it. Knowledgeable, friendly people behind the counter, lots of old cameras and accessories, outstanding film developing and printing. I don't shoot a lot of film, but when I do, I bring it here.

Justin Donais

Fantastic customer service with super knowledgeable help really sets Blue Moon apart from the competition. A top tier business and a gem for the city of portland.

Scott Seibert

I had a camera with sentimental value. two other shops said just toss it and get a new one on ebay. Blue moon understood, gave a great quote and time estimate, and did it for what they said when they said- all during the Covid shutdown. They are aweome and are now the FIRST place I will go!

Jesse Tishkoff

I just got my first camera and accidentally screwed the tripod attachment on WAY too tight. I went here and they not only fixed the issue, but they were so friendly and even gave me a new screw that will prevent the issue from happening again! Excellent customer service! I highly recommend this shop! Thanks for your help!

Matthew Fields

Eclectic camera shop with extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. It has everything from hobbyist to pro. If you want to get into film photography, this is THE must stop shop in Portland.

Catherine Young

Turns out this wasn’t the place I needed for some DSLR help, but the staff were super helpful with recommendations for my needs. I was very new to photography when I first went, but everyone I talked to was very patient and helpful. Amazing selection for such a compact space!

ben hengst (notbenh)

Super smart staff, always freindly and more then willing to help you find the camera that is really going to work for you. The first camera I bought from them was a 40 minute conversation with them pushing me to the less expensive of the pair I was looking at. I've never had a bad experience here.

Scott Conover

Purchased a Hass here. Naturally I purchased the film and developed the film through Blue Moon. Best decision I've ever made. They make the development process painless and are quite fast to return (Boise ID). Will be supporting this local business with all of my film needs.

Jason Ganz

I bought some rolls of re-rolled 120 film (5 rolls Portra 160, 5 Rolls TMax 100) that was rolled onto 620 film spools suitable for a Kodak Medalist II. The service was excellent, and the results of the film were great. If it wasn't for the little plastic baggies that hold each roll being open giving away the fact that the film had been re-rolled, one could think that Kodak was making 620 again with their modern emulsions. Blue Moon's work is *THAT* good. I do recommend if you have Blue Moon re-roll your film onto metal spools, to get the spools back when the film is developed. This way you can re-use the spools with subsequent rolls and avoid any "metal spool" fees. When I'm done with my 10 rolls (I have 2 rolls of TMax 100 left), I will be ordering more! This place is truly top-shelf.

ISMAIL EGILMEZ

I just got back my first 4x6 Color OPTICAL prints from blue moon camera. I cannot hold back giving this great absolutely wonderful place a FANTASTIC review...SUPERB results! , very helpful and genuine on the phone..AND last but not least ..OPTICAL PRINTS!! nothing can top a quality optical print. thank you for preserving true film process and such quality skill and craftsmanship in your prints. PLEASE DONT STOP! your dedication to the medium and true process is more than appreciated.

Kenneth

Full service Film-Camera-Developing store. Huge selection of all types od film cameras and even more lens. David was so friendly and knowledgeable. Such a jewl in the crown of the Northwest!! They have my business!!

Ruth Shafer

I had terrific customer service today. The sales person spent a lot of time to help me on a really busy shopping day even though I was only looking for only low cost parts. Even better, he was friendly and informative the whole time. What a great shop.

Angel O'Brien

I love Blue Moon! It is the best film camera store in the universe. They always have lots of answers to my many questions and are super helpful diagnosing and fixing camera problems. Whether I need help with my Spotmatic, my Holga, any of my TLRs, my 5x7 or even my plain jane EOS1n, they always know how to solve my problem. Blue Moon has a great selection of all sorts of film, and other gear. And really, where else can I go find a store full of handsome men in ties. 😉

Zach Archer

No better place to snag everything you need related to analog photography! Great inventory always and a killer group of folks working there.

Marc Peck

They are extremely helpful. I shoot digital and wanted to try a new lens, they had one used. It has a little fungus on the lens in the description when I emailed them they gave me a full explanation of the lens. It sounded bad but was such a good price I had to go check it out. When I got to see the lens, to my untrained eye it didn't look bad at all. They let me try it on my camera and I saw no ill effects. I will be checking back with them for my next lens.

Draevin Luke

A fantastic little shop! Great developing and prints in my experience, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Shout out to Zeb for understanding the struggles of a unique name when placing orders, wherever they may be.

John Carleton

Blue Moon consistently goes above and beyond. Their staff knowledge and customer service are phenomenal! If you're shooting film, you probably already know about this gem. If you're new to the area, be sure to stop in!

Neko Ramsay

Older Camera need fixing? These guys know all about it and can get you out and taking pictures again in short order. They also have a film development lab in house for your old 35mm canisters lying around. Not the cheapest place out there, but they have reasonable time expectations and a lot of equipment if you're looking to stock up.

Nickolas Warner

Knowledgable staff but incredibly overpriced. I'll chalk that up to the hipsters coming in and paying that much for vintage cameras, so only one star off. Otherwise they have a good selection and can give good advice and develop film.

Jeremy Jett

Very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and experienced staff. Ready to help you have an amazing photography experience.

Corey Branstrom

Blue Moon cannot be beat for film camera selection or knowledgeable, passionate staff. They are also the only manufacturer of Minox film in America (if not the world). They also have a nice selection of typewriters.

Phillip McMichael

I have never before done business with a place whose employees seemed so genuinely delighted by my successes with the products they have sold me. They have also been "Johnny on the spot" in the midst of my difficulties. I recommend them highly, and I look forward to future business with them myself.

Jasmin Flynn

Most awesome camera shop, I had some questions about a camera I hadn’t used in years and they were so helpful. Also their curbside pickup was so awesome! Thank you!

Joel Chong

Great customer service (thanks Arthur!) - we were trying our luck to find a film camera while on holidays and got just what we wanted. Great collection to check out here!

Joseph C Rossi

service, outstanding they greet me by name. these people care about photography as well are great dedicated photogeeks cant beat it. i wish it was more central but blue moon give me a reason to go to saint johns

Anne Kissel

Had very old film from my late mother's home. Probably taken in the 60s or 70s maybe 80s. Had archaic development. Very helpful and direct about cost and time. And what they could do. I appreciated it.

Anthony Carpinelli

I like the knowledgeable staff and that they specialize in older camera gear and darkroom equipment. The staff isn't pushy either, they really help you answer any questions you have about the products.

Garrett Beachy

Seth, one of their staffers, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He learned our names, asked about what we were shooting, and even gave us a couple of suggestions of where to hit on our trip!

PoChi Chu

Well knowledgeable and friendly staff. Wide selection of film photography equipments. If you are really into photography, Bluemoon camera is the place you should visit.

Bob Crispin

This is a world class vintage camera store. They sell a huge range of used cameras..do black and white film dev and printing. They sell film. The print BnW digital images..anf I believe they do color too.

Justin Renault

Professional, knowledgeable staff, fantastic selection of film cameras and equipment for all formats. Like a candy store for phottags. On the other hand, also the most expensive place to have film developed.

Shawn S

Best film shop in the PNW! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff! Can't wait to see the mural!

Rob Melton

Old school camera service and repair and custom photo processing located in downtown St. Johns. You'll also find old school SLRs for sale, pinhole cameras made of wood, photo magazines and more. On Street parking only.

Raymond Larson

Great camera shop. Lab services too. Used equipment like you rarly see. Old school service and selection. 100 points every time.

Gerrish Benjamin Willis

Eclectic collection of cameras, weekly deals on film, optical enlargement and darkroom developing. Always helpful and knowledgeable. So much easier than developing on my own.

Av

kevin cassidy

My first visit. Staff was great! Left with a great gift!

Steve Wessing

Great service and staff, quality used cameras, lenses, tripods, and any other equipment for film photography. They went the extra mile to find what I needed.
