The owner runs a great camera shop here. I took my 35mm film camera here for repair but because of parts availability and unfortunate timing with now resolved building issues it took longer than expected. He was very apologetic and made up for the delay. I'm very happy with the knowledge and service and will continue to go here for film developing and repairs.

This place is awesome! Any camera you need, the owner probably has it or can at least get it for you, extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and the store has some really cool history to it. The best photo developing around too! Very worth the trip to this store, highly recommended!

Thank you Michael for helping me with purchasing my first serious camera. I highly recommend Michael with any of your camera questions and needs. Micheal is very welcoming and knowledgeable with all things cameras. He has years of experience and he can develop film at his store. His inventory is huge, and with a purchase of a camera you can get free film in his claw machine! Thanks again Michael! Follow them on Instagram!

The best place for cameras (old and new), buying film, and getting film processed and scanned. Analog and digital. Knowledgeable owner who can find any photography related gear you can possibly think of. For real. Just go there, you will not be disappointed!

It depends how old and the type of film. Give me a call at 610-898-1909 with film in hand so I can ask you to read off the label.
