Jorgina Hancock

Super friendly, helpful staff. Unfortunately the city has made parking quite a challenge. Just park around the block and walk over. The shop has a lot of fun retro/antique stuff. It's worth a stop in if you're any kind of a photography buff. I was able to find a used Minolta 50 mm lens for a very recent price.

Francesco Aglieri Rinella

Excellent experience in this beautiful store. The staff was very kind and prepared, they repaired my camera in less than a minute. Had a great time there and I can’t thank you enough for saving my photography trip! This place is AWESOME

Aiden Sparrow

I was searching for a canon FD lens but didn't know the name so said, " do you have a canon zoom lens?" and the worker, I forgot his name knew immediately what I was talking about and helped me out. This company has the stuff you need and the know how. Great job guys and thank you!

The gentleman that we dealt with was a super nice person. Very friendly and knowledgeable and willing to take the time with you. If your into film cameras this place is great! Ended up buying a camera from him. Products were in great shape.

Michael Holden

These guys were super helpful when I had a critical equipment need 1000 miles from home. Of all the camera stores in SLC, Provo and Orem, Acme delivered, 100%. Plus: tons of vintage gear.

Erick Ramos

I am visiting from Massachusetts for two weeks. My camera broke and needed to find a repair shop. So glad I came across these friendly people. Not only did they fix my camera in such a quick time, but their honesty is why I’ll be back: They do what needs to be done to get your camera back to perfect. No unreasonable pricing or sneaky charges. Jet was wonderful help and gave this newbie a crash course on photography and camera care. Thank you, guys.

Hard to find locally owned physical camera stores with such great staff nowadays, made me wish I'd live in SLC lol.

Emily Henriksen

Highly recommend - super fair pricing, quality work, knowledgeable, + above-and-beyond service. Kirill is the manager there and no doubt took care of my needs in a fair and kind way. I came in to get my two cameras cleaned, and ended up selling my old camera and buying a new one. Kirill helped set up a sale through someone he knew that was selling what I needed and didn't even take a cut. He offered to be a safe space to meet up, while also trying to get us both the best deal. It was super cool of him to help us both out. Then he offered me a bag for my camera (thinking he would grab a grocery bag or something), and he came out with a brand-new looking small Case Logic camera bag for me to take home. It was just super kind and beyond my expectations for a business. I can't recommend this place enough. I won't go anywhere else for my camera needs!

Megan Reschke

I cannot say enough great things about Acme! I’m just beginning my photography journey and stopped in to get some professional insights and to see if they had any of the gear I was looking to buy in their store. Everyone who worked there was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Though they didn’t have the specific model of camera I was looking for, they helped me to locate one and to ensure it was in great condition. They went above and beyond to help, answering all of my (many) questions and helping me feel both excited and prepared to begin to delve into photography. This is where I will be going for all of my camera needs moving forward—and I recommend you do the same.

Jennifer Alexander

I dropped off my digital camera and a couple of lenses for a good cleaning, as I had spots on my photos. I live out of town so they had to mail my camera back to me. A+ service from start to finish! My camera is now as clean as it was when I bought it, and is was exceptionally well packaged for shipping.

Dan Caffee

Great place for film and cameras. Everyone who works there is cool and the store itself is one of the greatest camera stores in America. They have everything from unique vintage gear to modern dslr and lens rentals. It's a hidden gem of Salt Lake.

Chad L. Brown

So here's the thing. Everything I have ever rented from them has been in great working condition. However for an additional charge they offer delivery to a few select locations in the valley. Their delivery system is very unorganized. There have been complications every time that I have paid for their Orem delivery. They have always been great to help when things don't go right with the delivery, very kind and willing to make it right... Until today. I had my assistant pick up our order, nothing was labeled and there were multiple items in different bags. There's was no way for him to know what bags were ours. When he got back to the studio, there were missing items. I called to let them know, and the lady that answers the phone was extremely dismissive and basically told me it was my problem and would have to travel back to the delivery location to pick up the rest of my order. They did everything correct and this was my fault. I don't mind the additional trip as much, but her condescending and dismissive attitude was really hard to swallow. Don't know if I will use them again.

Noah

5/5 would highly recommend if your camera has an issue or if you simply need film developed, etc. Acme has always been very helpful with camera issues and flexible with rentals, lenses, etc. Each time I have been there, they always take the time to address camera issues in depth and oftentimes go above and beyond what is expected. I always have high expectations when paying Acme a visit and I have never been disappointed. The employees see to every customer’s needs on a personal level and I always leave with more knowledge about photography than when I came in.

Randy Julander

i dropped a 600 mm sigma lens and cracked the lens filter. could not get it off the lens try as i might. took it into acme camera - they looked at it and said this will take a couple minutes. dropped what he was working on, went, got a tool and got the filter off presto chango. friendly. fast. courteous. helpful... sounds a lot like the old boy scout values. had a blast looking at the vintage photography stuff. had my wife and 2 grand kids with, they treated the kids like they were family. no charge for the filter removal. i bought a brand new 95 mm uv filter at a great price, he cleaned my lens and installed the new filter. fantastic customer service. highly recommend this place and wish i had known about it sooner. will definitely return should i need their services again. thanks guys, really appreciate your business.

Jane Geng

Acme Camera is amazing. I have had my lenses calibrated here several times and the service has been outstanding. The focus and clarity of my lenses/camera are always perfect after getting it done. They get the job done quickly, too. One of the gentlemen that works there makes the effort to remember the customers by name. I would recommend this shop to everyone.

A B

Huge variety of equipment and services with very knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend giving this place a visit.

alex malik

Highly recommend. Staff is friendly, super knowledgeable, and everything fairly priced. Bought a few things here in the past but I ended up bringing in some old cameras and lenses that I had but didn’t know much about, they helped me test and get everything working. Plus the store itself is really cool too, lots of cool vintage things to look at. 10/10

Matt Munson

I fricken love this place it’s everything you’d ever want a camera store to be. With wonderful people.

Zo Saez

Rented a camcorder for Christmas weekend and had an awesome time! The camera worked great and it came with all that I had needed, the process of getting the camera was very simple for a first time customer and pricing was not bad. Highly recommend.

Cooper Grim

I just started taking photos with my Cannon A1 film camera and I just needed film to fill the camera and The owner and the staff were super helpful and willing to help me and give me any advice on photography, they even cleaned my camera inside and out without even charging me and they said I can call them anytime for any questions I might have. Couldint paint a better picture of a one damn good local business even if I tried

Lisa Jack

This is a GREAT store.... actually it could also be a photography museum. It reminded me of the old photography stores from the 70s and 80s where they had absolutely every product a customer would ever want and need for their specific needs. But my favorite part of the store was the guys that work there. First of all, they are technicians who want to help meet your needs. They are not salespeople who are only concerned about selling you something. They were also extraordinarily knowledgeable about film, digital, mirrorless and antique cameras. They seemed eager to help in whatever I needed or was curious about. If you are having an issue with any piece of photographic equipment... I recommend this place with enthusiasm. The owner was cool, Jet the repair guy was fastidious, and the guy at the front wrapped and rewrapped my broken lens 3 times so we made sure we got it right for shipping... Ain't no store in the world going to help you with that these days when there is nothing in it for them. In fact, I have a friend in Texas who is going to be using them to calibrate her equipment. And I am using them again to digitalize old film negatives and slides because they actually try to make them look good as opposed to set the machines on a "general" setting to get the job done! Thank you guys.

Aidan Johnson

This place was wonderful! Great camera selection and super friendly service. My camera wasn’t working while on a road trip and I stopped by on my way through Salt Lake to see if they were able to fix it. Karill especially was a huge help and was able to fix my camera and even waived the charge. It was hard not to leave without buying something, everything they have is dope! They even sell some sick t shirts and hoodies. Next time I’m in town I’m definitely stopping by. Highly recommend.

Haley Thomas

They made it right! I rented the Canon 5D mark 4 but they accidentally gave me the Canon 5D mark 3. The owner didn't hesitate for a second, and immediately refunded me when ai came back in. I feel like my experience with him made me sure to choose this camera shop 1st the next time I need anything.

Spencer Feinberg

Has a really fun atmosphere with nice people very willing to help. Great selection of analog cameras, camera accessories and rentals. Was stopping in from out of town and was extremely impressed. I would strongly recommend!

Becca B

Acme by far has the best customer service I have experienced since stores reopened. I went to 5 other camera / photo stores before acme so I can whole heartily say they know their stuff about Antique & Vintage Cameras and I was shocked they had the part I needed for a camera 70 yrs old from Germany . Here is the best part they don't price gouge because its a very rare hard to find item online for up to $75.00 ..I paid under $10.00 plus they cleaned my camera for free . This is a great honest local business I highly recommend you give them a try. Parking is kind of different dont let that scare you away . Once you walk in to one of the biggest variety of cameras and equipment in Utah i have seen and meet the staff you will be so glad you went. Followed covid 19 safety & hygiene 95 % better than the other stores and big chains I have been to lately. Great treasure to find them today . Thanks guys

Jordan Imlay

Acme is the best camera store in Northern Utah. They have the coolest shop, with TONS of equipment. If you are looking for camera equipment, come here first. They have an awesome selection of premium secondhand equipment and are constantly getting more stuff. I’ve purchased so many things here that are dear to me. If you shoot film, this is your shop. They also rent equipment out for great prices.

Gabriel Stroup

Very good camera shop with good variety of gear. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, which I appreciate as someone just picking up film photography. I brought in my grandfather’s Leica M2 camera, where they told me its value, cleaned it up, and gave me a brief tutorial on loading film and other basic operations. Later on, I bought a tripod and was graciously shown how to install and remove my camera into/from it. I highly recommend this place as the place to get essential camera gear.

Larry Ziegler

ACME Camera Rental has great customer service. Just rented from them for the first time, and when I arrived to pick up the lens I was informed it hadn't been returned and was unavailable. They were very polite and offered several options including an entire camera system from Canon (I shoot Nikon) which would allow me to use the desired glass. I ended up choosing a different lens from Nikon instead and had a great shoot. I was very impressed by how smoothly ACME staff handled what could have been a disappointing experience. I will definitely rent from them again. Thank you ACME!

Loa Fa

This is my second time renting from this place. My first was at their old location near sugarhouse. Since then, they have increased the amount of equipment they have at the new location downtown. In my experience with them, the customer service has always been great with the staff. The equipment rented was great, had no issues at all. One thing I like about this place is their Sunday policy. Since they are closed on Sundays, and you were to rent the equipment on Saturday, you get an extra day free (Sunday) no charge, since they are closed. Its a great deal. I will continue to rent from this place. Very pleased.

Jack Myhre

This is a wonderful camera shop with a wide selection of lenses and bodies both film and digital. The staff are super friendly and helpful and worked to diagnose some issues I was having with my Nikon D750. I will definitely be back!

Madison Memory

Renting from acme was amazing and well worth it. Everything functioned well and looked almost like new, which I was honestly worried about something going wrong with renting so it was a welcome relief! You can tell the owner and employees take great pride in their work. The shop itself has an amazing "vintage" vibe with both very old and new cameras/equipment alike.. To top it all off the price was amazing on everything! I'd definitely recommend them and I'll definitely be going back.

Lior Givol

This is definitely the place to go to for all your camera needs. The staff is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. I came passing through town and needed some repairs done in a timely manner and they did that and more. Got some helpful tips so my issues won’t happen again!

Kendal Walker

The guys who work here are super knowledgeable and helpful. I go to Acme for rentals, gear repairs, equipment advice, everything. Great inventory and service. I scan my film on their Imacon Flextight and it's been a game changer. Couldn't recommend enough.

Brenna Pincock

10/10! I was having a problem getting my camera lens off my camera body and went in for help and the gentleman was so kind and helpful. He got my lens off and gave me some advice for next time. The store is also so cool. I could have looked around for much longer.

Alejandro Martinez

A rental house like no other. Landing in a new city for a commercial shoot is routine for me however I was surprised how easy and professional my experience was with Acme. They had everything I needed and reserving the equipment was so easy. They didn't even flinch when I had to make some changes to the order at the last minute. I wish other rental houses would pay attention and step their game up. It is reassuring that the owner is often the one who working behind the scenes to get your order together.

Maya Dehlin

I’ll admit - I used to frequent ACME’s competitor but am now fully converted. ACME has saved my bacon about a million & a half times when I’ve been in need. Their hours are SO much more accessible than the competition and the customer service cannot be beat. When the power was out for days on end, these guys took down names by CANDLELIGHT in order to still be available to their customer base. This is what small businesses are supposed to be all about: feeling like your interactions are personal & not just canned. Forever customer here. Make sure to check out their selection of film cameras and vintage camera bags when you stop by!

Clint Johnson

Are you sick of camera stores that aren't really camera stores.... Do you love the analog feel (and smell) of film and darkroom work... With chemicals and all that wonderful old style goodness?? This, then,, is your new favorite place...I loved when I walked in the store for the first time there was an actual, honest-to-god record player playing a 12in LP. You can buy ,,sell or rent photography gear including cameras, lenses and lighting. if you have old-style gear that needs to find a new home out of your closet than this is the place to bring it... They will re-home it to a new, loving owner. Always a great experience..

Arthur Van Siclen

Awesome people - very cool building - great location. I came in to get my camera's sensor cleaned. They took care of it and got it back to me that afternoon. Excellent service, very considerate, and easy to communicate with. I strongly recommend wandering into this shop.

Dave Jarrard

I had a few old cameras I was trying to sell and the gentleman i dealt with was very personable and gave me a more than fair price for my items. The actual store is very nice inside, with a great selection of used cameras and photographic equipment. I really recommend Acme Camera to anyone looking for a positive experience with their photographic needs.

Samuel Owens

Had a last minute project and these guys were easy to work with, fast and got everything I needed even added more to help with what I was looking for. With all the craziness, I felt that I gave them a difficult time with the final invoice but they were very professional in handling it. I now feel terrible for giving them hell but they had a lot of patience. Great service, great people and will definitely rent from them again. Your go to place for sure

Jason Weber

Amazing place i am new film photography. They gave me some great advice and tips, love the vibe the store has. I wish i would have found the Acme Camera Co. Sooner

The Friel Family

I always rent gear from Acme and I'm always pleased with their service and equipment! Yesterday I needed my new camera and lens calibrated before a photoshoot and they got it done in an hour and I was on my way! I love Acme and would highly recommend them!

DENISE BRUNSON

needed to rent a wireless lapel mic for one of my catering events at my hotel and came across these guys. The equipment is phenomenal it worked amazing the customer service was amazing also. Very fairly priced will definitely be using them for personal and business reasons

Rachel Ward

I love everything about this place. Owner, Jacob Nuttall really knows his stuff and has been in the camera business for a long time. Renting camera equipment for a day or two is a great way to test out some new equipment before deciding to buy or not. They also sell gently used equipment. I highly recommend them.

Samuel Mortensen

The staff are all very friendly! Sometimes there can be some mix-ups with the equipment, but they have always taken care of us. It can be a little pricey, but definitely not as pricey as buying the equipment you need. So I would absolutely recommend Acme for all of your camera and camera equipment rental needs!

Krystal Potter

Highly Recommend! Acme Camera Co. has great equipment and the people are helpful and knowledgeable. They were excellent to work with and available when needed.

Thomas W

Kirill was great and thorough. He clearly explained what needed to be fixed, and as someone who does not know a lot about cameras, it was very informative! I had a very positive experience with Acme and will go back for any future camera needs.

Skylar Christensen

A good spot to rent lenses. I rented a lens and returned it late because of a client issue. They were understanding and it worked out great. Overall a really cool store with excellent people, check it out.

Taylor Marie

I have been renting from Acme for over a year, and every time i am amazed at how easy it is to rent and schedule pick ups! I run around and have a crazy schedule on wedding days and they always work with me and make sure i get what i need! I will always recommend Acme! They are the best!

David Long

I had a great experience renting a Canon 5D Mark III from Acme. renting equipment from them is a very straightforward and easy process. The staff is helpful and courteous. If I still lived in Salt Lake city, I would be a regular customer.

Todd Hooper

It's great to see a company shake up the monopolized camera rental market in Utah. When they opened I seem to remember that rental prices were cut in half over-night. What's better is that Acme is run by a much friendlier staff than their only rental competitor, Picture-line which makes the experience of borrowing gear, a LOT less stressful for me. They sell the right gear and rent everything I'd ever want, including Fujifilm!! I even bought a zoom lens brand new from them because I want them to stay in Sugarhouse for good. They run a really clean and hip storefront in a great location. All the staff seem to like the owner and care about what they do. Simply put, I always try Acme before going anywhere else.

James Kowalski

Amazing customer service. Brought in my newly purchased vintage 35mm camera (from Goodwill) that was having exposure issues and they gave me lots of advice and tips. Really cool store too!

Joey Jonaitis

Great experience. Both renting and buying cameras. Everyone I have interacted with was very helpful and no one tried to sell me anything I didn't need! Great local feel and an amazing location. I will be a regular, earned my business.

Jack Phillips

Cannot recommend highly enough - brought in a broken camera another shop had quoted at $250 to fix, these guys charged me $35 and fixed it within a couple hours so I didn’t have to drive all the way back to Salt Lake. Excellent service, prices, and experience. 👌🏼 …

Shelby Dubin

Some of the best customer service ever! An incredible camera shop with everything you could dream of! Shoutout to Kirill for going above and beyond!

Brandon Gonzales

Great spot. They have a level of customer service that Jeff Bezos would admire - world class. If you need equipment, they have you covered. If you need something you'd normally get online, go the extra mile and get it from ACME - these folks run a legit shop and deserve your business. Thank you for your patience and service, ACME.

Alex Rollins

Rented a van-full of support and grip gear for a video shoot in Jackson Hole. Jacob et al made the process super easy, even amidst our dozen order changes while we were adjusting for the production. Wide selection, great people and super close to the airport if you're flying in/out of SLC!

Seth Parkinson

I was here for a photography event that was hosted here. I came early and got in a few words with the owner. He's very knowledgeable and passionate about cameras and camera gear. He has a wide selection of equipment to rent at very reasonable prices.

Kayla Bertagnolli

Acme Camera is the absolute best!!!! Anytime I have random questions the staff is super helpful and willing to go above and beyond to help and they always have great selection of film stock in store

Stevie Writes

If you're looking for some professional advice about film or photography or gear, this is a great resource. Sponsoring a wonderful Meetup, it's the best resource to up your game. Offering camera and rigging rentals, you can scale your shoots as necessary and fill in gear gaps inexpensively. Parking is an issue. An employee always illegally parks in the handicap spot & another takes up two lanes. I have mobility issues at times, finding this troubling. There's just not enough parking. If you're in a wheelchair or can, the parking lot behind slopes downward, a dangerous situation, particularly in inclement weather.

Ray Whitehouse

My grip equipment didn't make it onto my connecting flight to SLC, but Jet at ACME Camera was able to help me out and rent me everything I needed to make it to my 10am job on time!

Ashley Ericksen

Friendly staff and extremely helpful. The guys running it went out of their way to make sure I had the right film, and batteries as well as showed me how to load it into the camera

Angela Wroten

Very good to work with. Always answer the phone. Made it right when things didn't go perfectly. Good company and customer service. Would rent from them again. Loved the delivery service to Draper!

Nate Christianson

super helpful staff. helped me track down some adapters for vintage glass. plus the whole shop is vibe.

Mike Olson

I am not from the SLC area, but needed help connecting my camera to my tablet. They helped me work through the process so I could do it myself. Very impressed. Thank you Anne.

Jeff Walker

This place is amazing. Their selection of products is outstanding and the staff is exceedingly patient and helpful. I highly doubt I’ll ever step foot in another photography shop

Dominique Westenskow

Best camera shop in Salt Lake City. Service is more than friendly and products are great.

Marie Conlon

Love love love!!!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) I recommend them highly!!! I will always rent from them. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They also go out of their way to make sure you have the right gear you need.

ryan lundeby

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, with a huge selection on film, cameras, and gear. Couldn’t ask for! A must stop if you’re in SLC!
