    I've been in LA over five years and have yet to come across such genuine and hardworking people like Kathy and Bill.

    The service was pretty amazing here and I dropped over $1000 on a new camera mainly because of how…read morethorough the employee was and explained everything to me. We were able to take great pictures in Paris and we're going to use our camera for years to come. I definitely recommend this place especially if you're new and have a lot of questions regarding photography.

    Been renting from Samys for as long as I can remember and I've been continually impressed with…read moretheir dedication to their clientele as well as their reliable gear availability. But I was compelled to write a review after a recent experience with their equally impressive customer service. Here's the skinny... We recently had one of those shoots where nothing went right. My co-shooter broke her leg, my assistant wasn't available, and then the equipment decided to not cooperate. The batteries died, the tilt-shift lenses slipped and the lights malfunctioned. For the record, this has never happened before. Samy's gear is always tops. But for whatever reason, this day was not to be. So... we called because they would normally messenger someone out or bring replacement gear immediately, but unfortunately they were closed by the time we called. So we needed to go overtime on the location in order to salvage the project. Needless to say, when I went to drop the gear off the next day, I was dreading the conversation. It was no one's fault, but still we lost time, money and face with the client on set, so it was important we communicated the situation. Gabe handled it like a champ. He took care of everything and made an otherwise grim situation right again. They didn't have to do that. And most rental houses probably wouldn't, but they did and that matters. Here's to another decade of rentals with Samys! Thanks, guys.

    This is an underwater camera sales and rental store. I think it may be the only one in Los…read moreAngeles. If there's another one, please let me know because I'd rather NOT do business here. They stock lot's of equipment. They probably will have what you need. I rented a Canon 5D housing with an underwater strobe. It worked well and I got some cool pictures. It was quite a bit more expensive than I expected. $225 for the housing, $50 for the light, $45 for a cord (!?) and I think $25 for the strobe arm. The problem with this place is the foul mouthed owner. He runs a very shoddy business. First off, the store is a total wreck. Parts, paper, dirt, unhung photos and very outdated books and magazines. Second, I'm still waiting on a receipt, itemized or anything. But the biggest problem I have with this place is that . . . HE CHARGES SALES TAX ON RENTALS!!!!!!! Initially I paid it because I was confused and the owner mysteriously left the building when it came time to pay leaving his nice unassuming employee to handle the transaction. I later went to Calumet to pick up a rental lens. I asked them if they had ever heard of anyone charging sales tax on rentals. They said no, that's crazy. You have to sell something to get sales tax. So when I brought this up to the obese, sweaty, shirtless owner of A B Sea Photo while returning the rental on a Sunday, he became very angry and said he just had to charge sales tax. I asked him what he had sold me and he got even madder going off on some tangent about the fact that he sells the camera housings after a few years and since they lose so much value, he has to charge sales tax on rental. WHAT????????????????????????????????????????????? The conversation ended with him refusing to refund the sales tax I paid. I asked if I could get an itemized receipt and he said he can only do that during normal business hours not on Sunday's. What a jerk!

    This shop has been here for years…read more I stopped in yesterday to take a look and I liked what I saw. This is what I expect a dive shop to look like. Alan the owner was there and offered great prices. If you are looking to rent underwater housings or an underwater camera that is top notch and of high quality then this is the spot and Alan will beat anyone else's prices. If you are traveling North on Sepulveda this place is right past the Airport on your right hand side directly across the street from In-N-Out, it is pretty hard to miss. There is plenty of street parking and additional parking in the back of this spot.
