    Took my old FE-2 Nikon for repair since the light meter didn't work. It was fixed in 2 days perfectly. I will try this place again.

    Doing this place on a whim when I was on my way to a work trip and figured why not check it out…read more The store is a tad off from downtown but this place is a OG users fever dream. Not only is it big but it had a rather famous wall of admittedly broken cameras that I regardless wanted to grab, printing gear, old tripods, manuals and parts bins, a whole half of the store dedicated to film cameras and their lenses as well as a nice dslr and mirrorless set up with their associated gear and point and shoots. I literally prolly looked like a crackhead as I bounced off the walls tripping out seeing stuff I had only ever seen in museums, or YouTube. While I didn't find the camera I came there for I found one of my grails a Oskar Barnac Leica iii. The camera has seen better days yah but for the insane price drop of a slight hazed summicron lens and the tested in front of me body I couldn't say no (432). Bernie, the guy who helped me went above and beyond showing me their whole collection of rangefinders and classic medium formats I was fawning over and made sure I was straight when it comes to practice and handling of something almost a 100 years old. There's something special about a bulletproof camera that's probably seen some form of action that screams to me and that they love shooting and respect the art. While I'd probably be long in between my next travel to the city I'll definitely support them online from 5k miles away. Loved this place and everything it stands for. Support local and people who perpetuate the lost art!

    As a first-time customer and someone who strongly believes in supporting small businesses, I was…read moreexcited to visit Houston Camera Exchange. Coming from a small-business background myself, I always prefer to shop local when possible. I brought in my Canon EOS Rebel T7 camera, which had only been used once and was in excellent condition, along with the two additional lenses that came with it. While I was disappointed with the offer I received, I fully understand that businesses need to make a profit, and I was prepared to simply decline the offer and move on. However, what ultimately left a negative impression on me was my interaction with the employee at the front desk. Before leaving, I politely asked whether the store had any Canon G7X cameras in stock. The response I received was delivered in a noticeably condescending tone. The employee stated, "The thing about that camera is everyone and their mother wants it, and no one knows anything about waiting or patience, so there's never any anywhere. But if you want to give me $180, you can wait two weeks or two months for it." Had this comment been made in a lighthearted or casual manner, I likely would not have thought much of it. Unfortunately, that was not how it came across. As someone who approached the conversation respectfully and with genuine interest in doing business with the store, I found the response unnecessarily rude and dismissive. What makes this especially disappointing is that I came into the store prepared not only to sell my camera equipment, but also to spend even more money there as a customer. Had a Canon G7X been available, I would have been more than happy to purchase it on the spot. In other words, I was prepared to be both a seller and a buyer, and I was genuinely interested in supporting the business. Instead, I left feeling unwelcome. Customer service matters, especially for small businesses that rely on reputation and repeat customers. Because of this interaction, Houston Camera Exchange has lost my future business. I hope management takes customer interactions seriously, because a single negative experience can undo what might otherwise be a great business.

    Flats Film Lab has been my go to place to get my film developed for the past 3 years. They have an…read moreeasy peasy process: 1) Fill out a form at their 24 hour access drop off box. They have other locations, but hours vary, 2) Pay online at flatsfilm.com or scan the QR code on the form, 3) Send your roll off on its way! They will send a confirmation email once they receive your roll and have a 7-9 business day turnaround for up to 4 rolls. And usually they're quicker than that! They will send your scans to download via email in a convenient link. The quality is great and the prices are reasonable. Honorable mentions - they hold classes, have a community darkroom, and host fun art exhibits. I LOVE FLATS!!

    I used Flats film lab one time and can confidently say I would not recommend. I really wanted to…read morelove this place since it's a woman owned studio, however, the staff kinda rushes you out. I asked the lady at the front if I can purchase physical copies because I was planning on making a photo album. I even asked her what size is standard for that. She told me, but I guess didn't ring up that I wanted physical copies because weeks later for pick up we asked about the physical copies. She said we didn't have any and the situation was explained then she rudely said, "well that's not what it says so I don't know what to tell you". I wish I had read the prior reviews saying that these employees are rude. Anyways, I ended up going somewhere else to get physical copies.

    I really fell in love with this place. Very nice owner..super super sweet and a camera legend;)…read more There's a good deal of little gems in this little shop if you look/ask. Pricing is pretty reasonable in my opinion..especially given that there aren't too many film camera repair shops in our area.

    This is, without question, the worst experience I've ever had with a repair business…read more I brought my Canon PowerShot in because the lens wasn't closing completely. The camera still worked perfectly otherwise. Instead of giving me a quote while I was there, they had me wait a day, only to come back with an estimate of nearly $300 for a camera that originally cost around $500. I declined the repair and picked up my camera. When I got home and tried to use it, the camera no longer worked properly. The flash wouldn't function, it wouldn't focus, and it became completely unusable. When I went back to the shop, the owner was incredibly rude and took no responsibility. He told me they "only looked at the camera" and didn't bother checking whether it actually worked before returning it to me. He also refused to stand behind their work in any way, saying there was no warranty, and claimed it would now cost over $400 to fix. I brought them a camera with a lens issue that was still functional. I left with a camera that no longer works at all. My PowerShot had lasted only a year and a month, and I truly regret ever bringing it here. I'm now out a camera, and the complete lack of accountability made an already frustrating situation even worse. I would never recommend this business. So corrupt.
