They took it all and digitized it to perfection. Everything in HD. Example: The small slides are now beautiful, large photos. For the oversized vintage poster, they had to have another local company help them out, but didn't charge an arm and a leg for contracting it out. And that looks amazing. They returned everything in well packed boxes and tubes. I can't recommend them enough. Great, fast, high quality work! Thank you!

From my first contact with Laura and Tom at Memory Forward, I knew our slides were in good hands. Everything about the process was easy including drop off, pick up, and being able to pay online. Both Tom and Laura are very communicative and friendly; they really understood how important these slides (memories) were to us. The end result was beautiful. They cleaned the slides and did color correction to bring everything to life as if we were right back to the day the photo was taken. We will definitely use Memory Forward for our next photo project. These guys really know what they're doing and I recommend them to anyone looking for photo services.

As a professional fine art photographer, my partnership with a reliable photo lab is essential to…read morethe integrity and reputation of my business. I need reliable, high quality work delivered to the highest professional standards. Pounds has proven, again and again over my 15+ year relationship with them, that they are simply not up to the task. They have dropped the ball on me over and over, delivering a series of metal prints which are supposed to be 'ready to hang' that have literally fallen off with wall with more than 70% failure rate. Many of them have fallen within a matter of minutes after being hung. Others have fallen in the midst of month-long gallery shows which has been utterly humiliating on both personal and professional levels. How can I be taken seriously as a fine art photographer with such shoddy work that literally won't stay on the walls? And how could I even think to pass on such shoddy work to my clients? 'Shit rolls downhill' as we say here in Texas. No one operating under good faith would pass such a piece to their clients. And yet, pounds has done it again and again over many years. And they continue to treat their long-term, loyal clients with their high quality BS customer service while producing pile after pile of shit for their clients to deal with as it rolls on down the hill to their respective clients. What does this say about the people working at pounds? After several years of sticking with pounds despite such massive problems that have compromised my personal and professional reputation at galleries and amongst clients, I've come to realize that the customer service which kept me with them for so long is nothing more than lip service to cover up for their shoddy work. They have done absolutely nothing to fix the technical problem with the metal print float mount and hanging bracket system which was failing at remarkable rates. They have reprinted my work numerous times, and each time the prints fall off the wall even faster than the prints they were intended to replace. I've even tried to help them fix the problem by experimenting with solutions and found a heavy duty mirror adhesive that works with 100% success rate. I informed pounds of my solution, but did they use it or something similar in their own production? No!!! Why not??? I can only guess that the cost benefit analysis didn't work out, and that it's easier and cheaper for them to continue producing prints that fail than to produce prints their clients can rely on. This speaks not just to technical incompetence in the lab but to something far more grievous, namely a lack of personal and professional integrity. Pounds has caused me to lose clients, clients to whom I had to reimburse thousands of dollars in sales, they have compromised my reputation with galleries, and most recently they have caused me to miss hanging work in the biggest gallery show I do every year due to their incompetence and lack of integrity. I have now decided to end my 15+ year relationship with pounds simply because they cannot be trusted to produce work up to a professional standard. They can't even be trusted to produce work up to a mediocre standard! The only thing I'd recommend using them for is proofing because they're fast and cheap, and messing up proofs would hardly jeopardize a person's career. Any professional quality work, send elsewhere. Don't be hypnotized by their so called 'customer service'. After many years going back and forth with them and being sucked back in when my gut was telling me to jump ship, it is crystal clear that nothing has changed at pounds except now I can see them clearly for what they are. You've been warned. EDIT: Since my initial review, Pounds has reimbursed my past metal print orders as I requested after the repeated failures in the hanging brackets. I feel this is as satisfactory a resolution as is possible given the circumstances. Even so, I have decided to close my account at Pounds and am currently looking for another lab to send my work to.

We were 99% certain we knew what the problem was with my lens when we brought it to Sorin, the sole…read moreproprietor at Eurotech. I'd done ample research and my lens was behaving exactly as others' have. There were even online videos with the same reproducible symptoms, and a specific part needed to be replaced. So I figured I could get my repair done at Eurotech, as Sorin has worked on many lenses previously. He told me there'd be no charge if he didn't repair the lens. The shop is very old-school in how it's run; there are claim checks, no website to check on your gear, and you must call him during business hours to determine the status of your repair. His phone mailbox is perpetually full. Eurotech is located in a small office within a building with other small businesses. The office is cluttered with all manner of camera parts and intact cameras, and there are few clean flat surfaces in the place. I was a bit edgy about leaving my camera and lens there, but the reviews and articles on Sorin gave me confidence. He asked me to call several business days after I left my equipment. When I called, he told me the lens was very clean inside. Evidently he was thinking that dirt infiltration might have been the problem with my lens vs it needing a part replaced. He continued to go down that path, apparently unwilling or unable to get the part. My lens was reassembled and I picked it up in the same condition as I'd left it. While Sorin was pleasant and making jokes when we originally dropped my lens and camera off, he was not very friendly when we picked it up. I'm leaving the review at 3 stars because I got my camera and lens back and there was no charge (although I missed my camera and lens for the 10 days or so they were in the shop). I do think it's nice that Sorin didn't charge for his time, of course.

Yea, we had that same box, 12 years worth, and we also knew that the longer we waited, the higher the likelihood would be that those tapes would fade and be gone forever. We trusted Lisa and her team at Shade Tree Media to transfer all that old footage over to a set of professional DVD's, organized by year and easily found in chapters of all those events we hadn't seen in years. I had these made for our 20th wedding anniversary and gave them to my wife Missy.
