Got my first 35mm photographic film camera from here: Works great.
Accidental damage to dslr camera lens: Got it repaired … More quickly at a fair price and it was better than new.
Seeing their camera collection, lens, (including Polaroids and older film cameras), equipment is also enough to make camera lover feel like a 'kid in candy store".
Highly recommended for anyone into photography or film-making. -
