    4x5 Toyo CF and Fujica 645
    Stephan G.

    A great place for all kind of cameras...! From 4x5 or 8x10 view cameras to DSLR, parts found and cameras repaired. Takes time, but job done well, I'm glad I found this place.

    A- Judges Decision B- Timeline of all the motions they forced me to make

    After two years and four court appearances Camera Doctor was finally ordered by a Ny judge to hand over my lens they held hostage trying to shake me down for hidden " service charges." There are plenty of honest camera repair centers to go to in NYC. So take note on how petty these guys were spending TWO YEARS to shake me down for a $65 estimate fee not agreed upon I advance. Heed this warning.

    When you see several reviews that warn you about a business, it is best to take heed. I learnt that lesson one more time the hard way. In summary: avoid Camera Doctor at all cost. I brought a carbon fiber tripod with a leg that was loose and won't stay on. They inspected it, clearly saw the leg come off, and quoted $45 + tax to fix it. I left the tripod with them and they called me in a few hours to say it was fixed. I picked up the tripod the next day trusting they repaired it as they claimed, but when I get home and took the tripod out of its case, I noticed that they hadn't fixed the problem at all! The leg came off just like it did before they "fixed" it. The following day I called them and they asked me to bring the tripod in. They are a good 30 minutes from where I live, but fine--I will go since I didn't have a choice. One of the guys (the only polite one) said I would have to leave the tripod for a while and he would let me know after the other technician comes in and takes a look. I called back in an hour since I was still in the area. The owner picked up, said they misunderstood what needed fixing (sic) and now think a part needs to be ordered. I said I would prefer to just pick up the tripod. And he offered to refund me. So on my fourth visit to them, when I picked up the tripod, the owner claimed I was rude to him on the phone (what?!) and accused me of not defining the problem accurately. Hmm ... the tripod leg comes off and you saw that the first time I brought it--what else do you need to know? On top of wasting hours of my time, he was now needling me to have an argument--very unnecessary. Here is some feedback. Keep your seemingly well-known attitude in check when you clearly botched it. And pay more attention to checking if you performed the services you are charging good money for. I will never return to Camera Doctor and would *strongly* advise you to stay away from them.

    The owner was yelling at me crazily and he said he would find me if I give a bad google review. He also humiliated me with words and pointed his fingers at me repetitively. The whole time I didn't say anything unrespectful but he kept attacking me personally and tried hard to show his power. The experience was just depressing. I was charged $48 for taking off a lens filter that could actually be scrolled off easily. When I questioned their diagnose after learned that fact from my friend, he wouldn't return my unfixed lens and the above things happened. I rather pay $100 for not going through these again. But girls, you should never be afraid to speak up or try to protect your rights. In the end, he asked me to appreciate him for allowing me to check the status of my lens.

    Name of the offending shop.

    Camera Doctor and it's proprietor, Joseph are the very establishment that is the poster child of RIP OFF ESTABLISHMENTS!!! There are also the case & point on why every person considering choosing a repair shop throughly research Yelp before considering- I wish I did because I would have found out that I am not alone in my dissatisfaction with the company. Basically on Dec 10 , I brought in a Canon 100-400 lens to be cleaned Joseph gave me an estimate of $125-$150 which I thought was reasonable. Right B4 Christmas they called and inflated the estimate to $550 which I declined. When I went to pick up the lens they refused to give it to me demanding I fork lover a $55 "service charge" which I had never agreed to. Joseph refused to return my lens which I needed for a news job. It turned out they didn't have it - it was somewhere in New Jersey. It wasn't until January 6 when the lens was at the shop but they still tried to extort me for $55. I called the police but they said it was "a civil matter" and therefore I was forced to buy a new lens because the court date won't be until mid October 2023. I'm also filing a complaint with the Ny Attorney General's office as well as the Better Business Bure and the FTC for Deceptive Practices which are actionable under NYS Consumer Law S349. NOTE: By contrast Nippon and Chrysler Camera charge $5- $10 if they charge at all. Neither Canon, Nikon , Sony or any other camera manufacturer charge any service charges. Let my misfortune be your lesson - NEVER BRING IN ANY EQUIPMENT TO CAMERA DOCTOR AND RESEARCH ANY PROSPECTIVE REPAIR CENTER BEFORE CONSIDERING DOING BUSINESS!!!!

Everyone was professional, warm, and so helpful without making me feel bad. I walked in and someone immediately asked how they could help, heard me out, and directed me to Manny. Manny patiently downloaded and updated the filmware for my Fujifilm body and lens, and explained the steps to me. He also took the time to wipe down the sensor with an alcohol wipe before coming to the conclusion that the lens would have to be sent into Fujifilm for repair ($25 for round-trip shipping, repair price TBD, about 2 weeks turnaround). He also let me know that my other lens is a little loose, and showed me a new one for comparison. If I sent both in for repair, it would still be $25 for both. He didn't press any services on me, but I asked about lens rental, and he told me that I could get a discount on the lens rental with my repair slip. Amazing! He also gently advised me to take a picture of my repair slip in case I lose it. Manny also patiently walked me through buying an affordable film (fuji 400 for $12) and loading it for me in my Leica/Minolta that I don't know how to use; a friend had loaded it for me last time incorrectly and I wanted to make sure it would be correct this time. They don't develop film here, but he gave me a card for a recommendation. While he was ringing me up for my film purchase, another employee slid me two green Foto Care sharpies. I know there are other camera stores in the city, but I'm totally sold on the excellent customer service; I felt very well taken care of, and I will definitely be back.

I was dealing with a serious issue--my CPU was overheating to the point where I couldn't even play my games. I had already contacted ASUS, and they told me I would need to send my computer in for repair, which would have left me without it for weeks. I also visited several Best Buy locations, but unfortunately, no one was able to help me solve the problem. When I came to B&H, I immediately noticed something different about the staff. They're not just employees--they're true technology enthusiasts who genuinely love what they do. While I was browsing, Ron approached me and asked if I needed help. I explained my situation, and from that moment on, everything changed. Ron really listened to me. He didn't rush me or treat me like just another customer--he took the time to fully understand the issue. Using his own knowledge and expertise, he walked me through the problem step by step, giving me his full attention the entire time. What stood out the most was how relatable and genuine he was--it felt like I was talking to a real person who actually cared, not just someone doing their job. After following his guidance, I went home and turned on my computer--and it was running perfectly. I can't even describe how relieved and happy I felt. It honestly meant a lot to me that someone took the time to help like that. On top of that, the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating on my way out, which just added to the overall experience. Because of this, I'll definitely be coming back to B&H for all of my technology needs. Huge thank you to Ron and the entire team.
