First: if you have a chance to work with Paul, you'll never regret a minute of your experience…read more He's a great teacher and excellent photographer. Second: smartphones have ruined photography, and it's getting increasingly more difficult to find gear, accessories, peripherals... but San Jose Camera has always had what I've looked for (except my fav Canon lens, no longer manufactured). The people here are consummate professionals, exceptionally well-versed and experienced photographers. They know their stuff: I've had questions about Canon, Minolta, Nikon, and Hasselblad cameras and they knew the answer without looking it up. (Price of gear is the only exception.) Sort of an old-school type, I still dabble in film photography, especially in astrophotography, and they've had excellent recommendations for what I'm looking for in film, even discussed some ideas I hadn't considered. I used to spend a few hours a week here... purchased a number of lenses here and taken a number of classes. My highest recommendation for these classes: I learned so much in these... as good as any you'll find professionally.

The chairs were dirty and had bad odor. I wiped the chairs myself but it still had weird smell to it. I paid for bunch of add-on fees that I felt like it was rip-off. I would not use this place again. ======== My pick-up window was between 4-5pm. I was running late so out of courtesy I texted to let you know. I got there at 4:30pm. No one was there and I didn't get any message from you to let me know the chairs were sitting outside. I found out after I attempted to contact you few times. Please own up to your mistakes instead of blaming the customers.
