Very unhappy with my experience here (4 stars because I'm not trying to mess with a small…read morebusinesses yelp rating). b&w film processing was expensive, but not prohibitively so if it was done well; it wasn't: film bent/creased, one frame cut and another missing (and, after ordering some prints, you can tell it wasn't processed great either as there are a few water spots on them). When I pointed this out to someone, they were very apologetic and said that is not typical of their work. I order a few prints and when I went to pick them up they were given to me at no charge. I had hoped this was just a very nice apology for the poor processing work, which I was willing to forgive as a one off - it wasn't! 3/5 prints I ordered were messed up really bad (one of them it looked like the projector was bumped mid print, and 2 of them were very poorly framed/cropped). Instead of reprinting the photos and charging me for them like a shop with half-decent quality control would do, they gave me bad prints for free! Screwing up the processing is one thing - you can't go back and reprocess the film - but then giving me terrible quality prints for free instead of spending the extra 10 minutes to get it right is where I draw the line. Never again.

I use to have my own color darkroom, and worked for a large portrait company doing the printing of…read moreportraits. Since digital, I no longer do film or print-developing. Yet, I was at a loss for great pictures printing. Costco, Walgreens, and a few online companies were printing my pictures based on a grey scale. Friends were recommending pj's. I just got my test picture back and was blown away by the quality. This picture has great saturation. The colors are not muted by doing a 20% grey. Wow. Going to use them for my 16x20s!

UPDATE: Way overdue, but was beyond satisfied with click and am collecting more items to bring to…read morethem. They did a great job of pulling stuff from ancient media, and returned it to me in an extremely well-organized package with original media and new formats. Exceeded my expectations, and I'll be back! 3/9/16 This is a preliminary rating based on today's consultation and drop-off of media. Fully expect it'll be a 5-star review when I update it after receipt of final products! After years of neglecting old pics and videos on various media, and inheriting more of the same, I finally bit the bullet and decided to start getting this stuff into a more compact usable format: 1) so I (and others) can actually see and enjoy it 2) so my kids aren't left with boxes of stuff to go through if something happens to me 3) to better ensure preservation for future generations, as my kids may very well want to just toss boxes of old media 4) before it's too late! Realized I really need to get it done before there is no way to get stuff off of this ancient media. Wanted to use a local and specialty company, not mail-in, so found this place that has only one lil Yelp review, but an informative website, and not too far from me --- and called and spoke to Nick. Based on conversation, I brought in a smallish box with a variety of media to consult with him on how to best handle. Included: - VHS C tapes - Flip Video Cam - Tons of disposable cameras, some of the underwater type, most only partially used - XD disk - Sony Media Sticks - SmartMedia disks (oooold) - 6 oooold film cameras with the film still in them, partially used (I didn't want to risk messing up the precious contents by trying to use up remainder and remove film myself) Nick patiently explained how he'd go about handling these items, and best options for output. He took plenty of time with me (but I had called ahead to see when would be a good time to allow for consulting, so you shouldn't necessarily expect this with a walk-in when he may be busy). When I apologized for being somewhat weepy (hey, these things contain precious memories from my late mom, other deceased relatives, and from my baby's earliest years!), Nick was SO kind and empathetic. Said this is not unusual; of course when people are bringing in old stuff it's usually packed with emotional memories by virtue of it being old! I also like the back-story of this company. They took a chance and put everything into this type of service after their corporate company disintegrated. This tells me they care about the specific service they are providing, and likely put great effort into doing it well. Nick said he's going to need to investigate best method for some of the media, and I appreciate this. I know mail-in labs must by nature of their business follow a scripted process, regardless of condition of media, which may not always be the best route. I'm not sure what cost will be.... but figured worth getting started before it's not doable anymore. I have boxes more to get through - including audio cassette tapes (my mom was in a band and these are probably so fragile and crispy by now!) and VHS tapes. And personally I'd rather spend more if necessary to do business with people I can see in person, who may then feel more pride and accountability, and know they'll get more business and referrals from me if it goes well --- unlikely with a mail order service. I asked Nick if he could try to provide output in some identifiable form, including descriptions when provided on the media (such as on VHS C cases), or at least names of camera/type and/or media type, and he assured me he would do this. Very much looking forward to what comes.... and hoping I've found the right place to finally help me get through the boxes of precious memories that need to be turned into updated, usable formats. Will update review after completion of project!

Wonderful and knowledgeable staff for print, photo and accessory items. Went to their new location…read moreSaturday for some new passport photos. Great services copying old VHS and camera tapes to current formats.

I've been interested into checking out PROCAM but was tainted by negative experiences I've had at…read moreother camera stores where the staff just seem to look down on anyone who isn't already a professional but the social media posts for their PROCAM Days weekend caught my attention and I figured that getting in with a big crowd would be the best time. In addition to sales and trade in promos they were having some speakers put on classes one of which gave me an even more solid reason to stop by. It's a big store with an impressive amount of photography equipment and just about every big brand and even some smaller ones represented. The photo processing and studio in the back kind of make it an ideal all-in-one location for all things photography related. They had plenty of helpful staff on hand to help out the crowd of people in the store at the time but the majority of customers clearly knew what they were talking about and what they were looking for. I would be interested to see how the staff are on regular business days but they did seem very friendly throughout all of my interactions. The back studio area where the class/presentation was held is an impressive size. I could see how it could be useful for a number of situations. All in all this was a great introduction to the shop and hopefully I'll be able to visit more often in the future.
