We didn't have time to order online and get it before departure so I started to call around. Had a bad experience here before, but called and they were nice (other people working), had a few options, good prices as well. So we drove over, parked in front (they have a few spots for customers) and they had the tripods put aside for us to check. They were nice, patient, nice to talk to. We tried them and settled on one. It was used, but in good condition. So we bought it. It's good we gave them another shot since they are one of the last standing camera stores in the Valley!

I try to be fair and transparent in my reviews, avoiding hyperbole. It's best to be honest since…read morethese business are people's livelihoods. This was a horrible experience, as I would imagine even the business would recognize. I posted on reddit my situation about needing slides from the late 90s digitized and then some also printed for an exhibit. Reddit users suggested Valley Photo Service. I loved the idea of supporting a locally owned and seemingly historic small business. I called in late April and I confirmed that they could help my situation. A nice guy on the phone confirmed that they could do a bulk scan of my slides. I told him how they were digitized once before in 2003 but I imagine the technology had improved. He agreed that just even a bulk scan would be better than what was done back in 2003. We agreed I'd bring them in, do a bulk scan, check out the quality, and then from that bulk scan, I would pick out a dozen to print out for an upcoming exhibit. I drive in on May 1 and he is not there, but another guy is and he is very nice. He says that I should consider not doing a bulk scan but instead a higher price (per slide) flatbed scan. But we don't know if the bulk would be better or not and we're talking dozens and dozens and dozens of slides. So he suggests that at .80 per slide, we do them all bulk and check out the quality first. He says I'll get a link to check them out online when they are done. A week goes by. Another week goes by. I call and a woman says they'll get that to me. Finally I get a link and the slides look really crappy. Worse than when a bulk scan was done in 2003. How could the quality get worse? The slides have been in an archival quality box. I call and a guy says he's not sure. No one can of course confirm what the previous 2003 digitizers did; though I know they did bulk scan not flatbed. Perhaps they did some sort of "apply to all" adjustment of a filter or something? Either way, they say that they'll have someone call me back to think of a path forward. A week goes by. I then call and get the man who owns or manages the place. Very nice and attempts to help. I express my frustration about the time it's taking and that I have to keep calling them, seeing as I already paid. He said not to worry, he would definitely take a few slides, scan them on the flatbed and call me back with the comparison to my previous scans. A week and a half go by and I call to express my frustration that I still haven't heard from him. A woman says that she is so sorry, that the person who digitizes slides is there that day, but busy, so she'll have her call me within hours. Two weeks go by, I drive across town and I ask for my slides back. A woman gets them and asks "was everything done to your satisfaction." I say, "on the contrary nothing was done at all to my satisfaction." Not bitchy, not loudly, I just say it plainly as a fact. She hands me the slides and says, "oh, well here you go. Thank you." So that's my story of a two month long process of trying to get slides digitized. Was anyone rude? No. But did they communicate clearly? No. Mixed messages about possibilities. No calls back when they said. No finished work, after two months, nothing usable. And you would think after taking almost 100 dollars and a customer says they did not help at all, an employee might pause and ask what happened. Nope. That's Valley Photo Service, in my experience.

Their quality is a world better than Shutterfly or a drugstore like CVS or Walgreens, and I appreciate their customer service -- Noe is a great guy, and he knows his stuff. Enlargements also print very well here, and I've had some prints on my walls for years now that I got done at Valley Photo Service. I've been coming here for twenty years, and I love having a regular place to get photos printed rather than being a slave to Shutterfly. Thanks, Valley Photo.

The gentleman who helped us was extremely friendly and made the whole process easy, especially for someone who hadn't developed film in a very long time. What really impressed me was the turnaround time. I dropped off my film and had my scans emailed to me in about an hour. I honestly couldn't have asked for anything better. I specifically wanted to support a local photo lab rather than going to a larger chain, and I'm really glad I did. There's something much more personable about bringing your film somewhere that genuinely feels connected to photography and the people who still enjoy shooting it. I'm still exploring everything they offer, but for film developing and fast digital scans, I've definitely found my new go-to spot. Can't wait to bring in my next roll!

I recently got a…read moredisposable camera at a festival and didn't want to go the commercial route because I have heard horror stories about cameras getting lost. Plus, big box stores don't return the negatives to you and I liked having that option. Red room is a bit on the pricier side but again, you're paying for the service and supporting a local business. I paid $17 to develop the film and got it within 1 hour emailed to me! They'll store the negatives for 30 days. Attaching some pictures to show you the quality (obviously dependent on the settings of your camera as well!) Gentleman at the store was really sweet. Would highly recommend coming here!
