It's so hard to find a photo center to help with all of your camera needs. From developing pictures to camera repair they have never been anything other then helpful.

I'm going on vacation and called the other day to see about renting a lense. Everyone there was so friendly and kind. Can't wait to go back for future camera needs.

Do not got to this place for your passport photos. No only are that not a professional photo shop where you can reliably hope that you get a professional looking passport picture. Because why else would you spend $74 dollars on passport pictures!?They basically have you step outside and put a white board behind and take you picture. Don't show it to you. I recently did my USA and Canadian passport pictures there and they were absolutely hideous.
The ink on the Canadian passports bled on to the pictures. I was going to go back to have them re done and thought. because of that but then decided to just throw them out. Because the quality of the photo would still be terrible

Happy with clean and adjust up of my Nikon lens and Nikon camera. Very reasonable $$. Seems like a very good go-to for photo needs. Buyer beware of other online purchases

Great service and knowledgable staff. This was the only place I could find a 70-200 rental last minute for a basketball game I needed to shoot the next day. Ended up picking up some film too, I was very happy with selection of 35mm and 120 film. Great selection of vintage film cameras and lenses too.

One of the few places to have film rolls developed. Friendly service with upfront pricing. Lots of things in store to fulfill all your photography needs. They do request wearing a mask inside, which is fine. Can't wait to go back.
