A very friendly staff and expansive array of photo gear and used gear. I worked with Logan to secure a body and Sigma lens and he was wonderful. Plus, they have parking. :-)

Very disappointed how we were treated yesterday. We spent in our first visit $600 on a good macro lens in 10 minutes; we came in yesterday to look at lights. My friend and I know nothing about lights so I said I am looking for some light under $1000 and the young employee was very reluctant to open one for us since "its a lot of packing", and acted like she did not want to help at all. I intentionally came in the store instead of spending money on amazon since I run a small business and know how hard is to make money. Overall I lost 2h with driving thru traffic to come into the store in the middle of my working day. Good luck guys!

Do they sell 35mm film here?

Derek R | Jul 30, 2022
Tatsuya Takizawa | Jul 30, 2022

Yes but given the supply issues for film, their inventory can be limited. I'd call ahead to confirm if they have it, they are very helpful! Their portra 400 35mm is priced competitively, about $75 for a 5-pack

Do you do repairs? I have a Minolta x370 slr The film advance only goes about half way if you don't repair can you suggest someone that will. Thank you

Nicholas Jioie | Sep 29, 2019

Dodd doesn't do on-site repairs, they facilitate repairs, essentially handle the process and shipment to the company of the item [if they still support the product] Locally, you can try International Camera, they do on site and I believe support vintage [older] cameras. Hope this helps

1. Do you clean DSLR sensors? If so, what is the cost for that service? 2. I have several like-new DSLR camera bodies and dedicated lenses to sell. Do you purchase pre-owned equipment? If so, may I bring them in or would you prefer seeing images?

Alan Leder | Sep 29, 2018
Allison Terry | Sep 28, 2020

Yes, they clean sensors for $65. You will have to leave your body; it's not an on-the-spot service. Dodd does purchase equipment dependent on condition and age.
