    Photo Rental Source (Inside)
    Justin A.

    When I was in a time crunch and needed a light source for a video production shoot, Photo Rental Source came to my rescue. It is a bit difficult to find the place as it's on the 3rd floor of an office building. There is visitor parking, but if it's full, there is also a parking garage. Upon entering, you will find iPads and Computers around where you can go to their website and see what equipment they have available. So, technically, you could do this at home or on your phone before even coming in, which is a timesaver. Luckily, they had a light that I needed, and I paid around $40 for a week's use. It was quick, easy, and the service was friendly. They have all sorts of equipment including cameras and lenses as well. If I ever need equipment for a gig and not looking to own it, Photo Rental Source will be my go-to place from now on. Thanks guys! Pros: -Friendly service -Reasonable prices Cons: -A bit tricky to find the place as it's on the 3rd floor of an office building

    Doing this place on a whim when I was on my way to a work trip and figured why not check it out…read more The store is a tad off from downtown but this place is a OG users fever dream. Not only is it big but it had a rather famous wall of admittedly broken cameras that I regardless wanted to grab, printing gear, old tripods, manuals and parts bins, a whole half of the store dedicated to film cameras and their lenses as well as a nice dslr and mirrorless set up with their associated gear and point and shoots. I literally prolly looked like a crackhead as I bounced off the walls tripping out seeing stuff I had only ever seen in museums, or YouTube. While I didn't find the camera I came there for I found one of my grails a Oskar Barnac Leica iii. The camera has seen better days yah but for the insane price drop of a slight hazed summicron lens and the tested in front of me body I couldn't say no (432). Bernie, the guy who helped me went above and beyond showing me their whole collection of rangefinders and classic medium formats I was fawning over and made sure I was straight when it comes to practice and handling of something almost a 100 years old. There's something special about a bulletproof camera that's probably seen some form of action that screams to me and that they love shooting and respect the art. While I'd probably be long in between my next travel to the city I'll definitely support them online from 5k miles away. Loved this place and everything it stands for. Support local and people who perpetuate the lost art!

This location has some of the better prices have seen on items I need .Have even found some $10 light stands and other camera accessories in their sales items.

    I had a large number of DVD 's made by a crappy Phillips DVD player/Recorder from camcorder tapes…read more20+ years ago. The format of the DVD's the Phillips created are in an unreadable format that no pc dvd player or conversion s/w on the web I could find could get them to play. Therefore, paid International Video Tape Copy to find a way to do the conversion. It was tough they said. And a few were so bad I had to give them the original camcorder taped. In the end they converted them all to a readable format on memory drives. Job well done and they would checked in with me often giving updates on their progress to completion.

    Saved My Parents' Wedding Memories!…read more I was devastated when another company told me my parents' wedding video VHS tape was beyond repair due to mold. They returned it saying there was nothing they could do. I had pretty much given up hope until I came across International Video Tape Copy. Rima, the owner, was amazing from the very beginning. She offered to take a look at the tape despite others labeling it a lost cause. Rima's customer service was exceptional--she kept me updated every step of the way. From the moment she received the tape to when it was being cleaned and eventually transferred to digital format, I felt like I was in good hands. Not only did she manage to save the tape, but her pricing was also incredibly reasonable for the care and effort she put into it. You can tell customer satisfaction is her top priority, and she really goes the extra mile. I can't express how grateful I am for Rima's service and assistance. She saved irreplaceable memories, and I would recommend International Video Tape Copy to anyone needing VHS repair or transfer services. Thank you, Rima!

    I'm absolutely upset and very disappointed by this owners negligence on orders. While this art is…read morecool and unique. I personally would not recommend anyone from purchasing from this shop. Since last April I purchased a piece and was supposed to get this framed. I have not received this piece in close to a YEAR. I have visited the location multiple times and I have always been told it's not ready yet or some other excuse by the owner. I have called and have requested it for me to deliver and the owner is for some reason is reluctant to provide a tracking number. The owner claims he delivered the item but clearly item has not been delivered to my home when I provided all the necessary information. I have been very patient with my order but I'm simply not happy with the service and not valued as a customer. The owner is polite but clearly is not organized in prioritizing orders that are overdue and simply finds excuses to not give the item or give it on time.

He said it would take a week for them to arrive by mail and that he would be done making them in 3 days. A week passed by with no information from Al and then another week by and we still didn't receive anything. I called him and he said he was finishing up and that we would receive them in a week. So another week went by and still nothing. My boyfriend and I both had to call him because we paid $200 and he said he still hadn't shipped them. He FINALLY sent the tracking information after 3 weeks of the initial photo and when they arrived they looked like S**T. He also made one of my items wrong. The glass photo is chipped and the surface is so scratched and does not look clear. I am beyond upset because we wasted $200 on something that looks like it was printed at Walmart.
