Either way you get the same old fashioned service for your photography needs. What I use them for is their handling of old negatives (any size) and developing of old rolls of film. I brought in some old 4" by 5" negatives and wanted them scanned to a CD ... no problem, and only $3 per negative. Once digitized on to a CD you can do anything you want with them. I also brought in some old rolls of B&W film that I uncovered in a box - they developed them and gave me a few priceless prints. So if you have some special needs in photography - although they do the routine stuff too - give these peeps a chance. Nice to have them in the area.

We contacted Quality Plus Photo during the 2020 Covid Crisis and even during quarantine they were…read moreamazing! They came and picked up 21 of our old Hi8 tapes that we haven't been able to watch for years and convert them to DVD. They even repaired a few tapes we thought were for sure gone. The quality of the tapes are amazing and we're so excited to finally watch our old home memories! The price was also extremely fair! We will definitely use them again and are very happy to have discovered them.

I kept swearing that w There was something wrong w/ my camera. I brought it in, explained "the problem" and the young guy took the time to explain how and why there was nothing wrong with it. Had I taken the camera to Best Buy I would have paid at least $160 ( like I had done before). Then after I was told there was nothing wrong w/ my camera I wanted to get it cleaned. Once again the young guy took the time to check it out, he told me there was nothing to clean. Thanks guys for the honesty and not just trying to take the money of people that as just starting!

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.

The only thing that has changed since, is that he walks away from me every time i come in, and leaves me waiting for service. That being said, if you feel the need to act so pretentious to hobbyists, you should either stop letting them in, or hop off your self awarded pedestal and do your job, serving customers. As for the older lady, customer service is part of your job too, rushing people into purchasing film and talking over their inquires - is not. Listen, i get it. I'm not the "pro" photographer they're looking for as a customer, nor do i strive to be - i like doing this as a hobby. I came here for years because it was the only nearby film shop, and was maaaybe given the time of day to ask questions about the art once; by a guy i've never seen since. I bit the bullet and made the longer trip to PROCAM in Aurora one time, and it genuinely felt like they didnt want me to leave - if i asked a question, i got a thorough answer. I was asked questions about what i like to shoot, what got me into shooting photography, etc etc. If you're a hobbyist film photographer looking to learn more about film stocks, camera functions, do yourself a favor and head to PROCAM in aurora. They're open almost all day, every day, and they'll treat you like a human - rather than a source of income. Oh. And their film is more affordable.
