My husband and I went in to the store and picked up a new hobby. What is cool about this store,…read morethey have 2 stories AND they even put on classes, which is nice for those who are just starting out a new hobby in this category. They service was impressive, we weren't rushed, weren't pressed to purchase something, and the first time I went, I actually FaceTimed my husband and the salesman helped us find the right camera and helped us bundle the rest of the essentials that we would need to start our new hobby. Such a variety of things here, and I even picked up a Glazers tee shirt! So go get yours! You won't be disappointed!

Taking a film class at UW and my prof highly recommended this shop…read more Needed paper and film for my camera and prints and it was very easy to find. Was able to park for free in their garage as well. Person ringing me up was great and was able to get me a student discount for the paper. Film photography is expensive - period lol. But this shop has good value for high quality materials. I also do some digital photography and there was quite an impressive display for lights!

Needed a last minute passport photo & this was the nearest photo shop…read more They didn't need a reservation and we were out within 30 mins with new pictures. This was for an infant so they made sure they took enough pics to finally get a good click. The entire store gave nostalgic vibes, old photo reels, so many cameras! Bit expensive than going to any pharmacy or other locations but absolutely worth it for the experience and time!

I developed a few dozens of rolls at Omega Photo so far, mostly medium format black and white but…read morealso others. I always also got prints and mostly DSLR scans. I was happy with all of these, and the prices are reasonable, even when I can do most of this at home (considering time). I like the staff, they know a lot about this stuff, I even had the opportunity to see some of their equipment. Color rolls get processed relatively fast (few days), but for BW rolls, it's good to understand that they bring these to the lab on Friday and then get them back next Friday. So if you bring a roll on Saturday, its a long time before this gets back. Standard scans are typically ready the next day after development, DSLR scans typically take a couple of extra days. This works fine for me, since I have one or more rolls ready every week, keeping the visits fruitful. For DSLR scans, I recommend tiff format.

I love this shop and am happy to say I've spent a decent amount of my hobbyist photographer money…read morethere over the years. The staff is knowledgeable and engaged, providing good information and recommendations. While not as extensive as someplace like Adorama or B&H, Kenmore Camera still has good selection and will usually have what I'm looking for. I'm also pleased with the value provided, especially because they will price match some of those bigger shops, allowing me to consider spending my limited budget here, rather than sending it out of state. I even learned last year about their classes, which I've happily been taking advantage of over the last, six months. The only reason I've deducted a star (and I'd rather have only deducted a half a star), is that some of the staff are a little too focused on their commission. As someone who has worked retail for twenty years I get it. If that's the earnings structure at your job then you do what you have to do, but one gentleman in particular made me feel like I had wronged him, personally, when I spoke with a different associate when I came back in to make a purchase I had been considering. Yes, he was the random person who ended up answering my questions on my first visit, but that doesn't mean I feel like I had some kind of contract with him as a result. Now, when I go back in, I just make sure to avoid him.

On my last trip to Washington, I stopped by one of my favorite camera stores, Kenmore Camera in…read moreKenmore, WA. I used to visit all the time, but since moving out of state it is a bit tougher to make the trip. Still, I wanted to check out their used Nikon gear and see what was new. It does seem like they don't have quite as much used inventory as they used to. That said, being able to actually test the lenses in person is still a huge advantage. It's one of the main reasons I keep coming back. I tried out a used 50-150mm, but it was focusing a little slower than I needed. The 180mm lens I tried ended up being on the soft side, not as crisp as I was hoping for, and the 200mm 4f was surprisingly quick in focusing. If I wasn't planning on using this lens in low light situations, it would have been a great find at the price, and that's exactly why trying things in-store matters. The awesome guy who helped me out was great. Super knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely tried to find something that would work for me. He even checked the back to see if they had anything else tucked away. I didn't end up buying anything this time, but the customer service and the conversations is what always brings me back. *Now in German for all the world travelers* Das letzte Mal als ich in Washington war, bin ich natürlich bei Kenmore Camera in Kenmore vorbeigegangen. Einer meiner Lieblingsläden! Früher war ich ständig da, aber seit ich nicht mehr in der Nähe wohne, ist es halt alles ein bisschen umständlicher geworden. Trotzdem wollte ich unbedingt schauen, was sie an gebrauchtem Nikon gear haben und was es Neues gibt. Leider haben sie nicht mehr so viel Gebrauchtes wie früher. Schade, aber was ich an dem Laden echt liebe ist, Man kann die Objektive direkt vor Ort ausprobieren. Das macht viel aus, und genau deswegen komme ich immer wieder zurück. Ich habe ein gebrauchtes 50-150mm getestet, aber der Fokus war etwas langsamer, als ich bräuchte. Die 180mm war leider etwas unscharf, dafür hatte die 200mm f/4 mega schnell fokussiert, das hat mich echt überrascht. Wenn ich diese nicht auch bei wenig Licht einsetzen müsste, wäre das zu dem Preis echt ein super Deal gewesen. Und genau daher ist es so wichtig, die Sachen im Laden auszuprobieren. Der Typ, der mir geholfen hat, war einfach toll. Total kompetent, mega geduldig, und er hat wirklich versucht, irgendwas zu finden, das für mich passt. Er hat sogar hinten im Lager noch mal geschaut, ob da noch irgendwas rumliegt. Gekauft habe ich diesmal zwar nichts, aber der Service und die netten Gespräche sind genau das, was mich jedes Mal wieder zurückzieht.

My only suggestion if you are ordering a new one is to take a patience pill. It took much longer than originally quoted from Ries, but c'est la vie.

I was informed by email three different dates that is was shipped. Each time it had not shipped. I wanted it for a road trip up North but that will not happen. Keep in mind two things, one its NOT a custom order. two, nowhere on the website does it say shipping out will take this long. Not to mention that being perhaps the most expensive tripod on the market they still charge a shipping fee. I've asked more then once to just cancel my order and each time I'm told its shipping. Considering its still in the factory and will take 6-8 days more to arrive you would think Ries would offer a discount on expedited shipping but that is not the case. There website should have been a warning to me that perhaps something is wrong. Site was unusable to place an order. Not sure if this is a company or a side job. Obviously, being the only wood tripod manufactory in America there is a lack of competitors and they treat the customer accordingly.

We toyed with doing it ourselves, but after pricing photo scanners and doing a few trials with some apps, we decided to outsource the work. We wanted to find someone local because shipping a lifetime full of curated memories to who knows where for several weeks made me nervous. While those places do cost less, the reviews go from mixed to worse. Also, since I painstakingly took the time to keep my photos organized over the years, I didn't want them all dumped into one pile prior to scanning, which is often the case with the cheap online providers. And, lastly, I wanted our photos scanned in high resolution. The Picture Org(anizer) not only met all my requirements, but John and team exceeded all expectations. My scanned photos look fantastic!! I am so pleased. And the USB drive that he put them on was neatly organized into my desired subfolders. I couldn't be happier.
