It was falling apart and the shutter sound was off, pictures looked muddy and dirty. I took the camera here for service and a day later, it was a completely functioning camera again, brought back to life by Phong. 22 years later and the camera is still working just fine. I go back here every so often just to say hello, even if i'm not there to purchase anything, Phong makes it a joy to chat and browse his stock. I absolutely love it here, and reccommend this place to Pros and Beginners alike. Never change, Phong!

Took less then 7 days and also clean and checked all my lenses. I'm more then happy with the service they provided and what they can fix. Will recommend and use them again if I buy another used camera and need it cleaned and checked. They are friendly fast and super great at communicating with what's going on and what needs to be done. After payment. The packaging of the lenses and the camera body was excellent and packaged with great care. Will be using these guys again like I said as they do a great job and at a great price.

I declined and they invoiced me $24 for return shipping, on top of the $30 I'd already paid to send it to them in the first place. Reasonable initial quote, steep increase once they have your device, and shipping costs that shift depending on your decision, feels like a business approach designed to pressure people into paying rather than walking away. Get terms in writing before sending anything in.

I rushed through the front doors of Sunlight Photo Lab at 3pm last Saturday, breathless and…read morefrantic. One hour earlier, the overpriced Hollywood lab I'd relied on to print my photographs for over a decade had failed me, delivering prints that badly distorted the color and contrast of my photographs, and that were printed on the flimsiest photo paper available. I was in a serious bind. I needed high-quality prints of two-dozen digital photographs I was due to have framed and ready for sale the next morning. Refusing to give up, I hopped on Yelp and searched for a printer in my area. To my utter astonishment, I found a lab with tremendous reviews, a lab that assured me over the phone that they could print my photos as soon as I delivered them, and a lab that was, on top of all that, only one mile away from my home in downtown Los Angeles. That lab was Sunlight. From the moment I walked - or rather dashed into their lab, and throughout the entire process of printing, the employees at Sunlight were welcoming and accommodating. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't recall the name of the gentleman who so patiently worked with me to get my prints just right, but he was clearly a master printer with a wealth of experience that informed his every suggestion and choice. At the same time, he was unfailingly kind and forbearing despite the fact that I was likely acting like a complete lunatic with the pressure I was feeling to get these prints right. I knew instantly when he handed me the first print that Sunlight was my new spot. They did remarkable work with my photographs, and helped me look like a much better photographer than I actually am. When all the printing was finished, I was prepared to pay amply - and rightfully so - for such prompt, expert work. But I was astonished once more when I saw that the total price was roughly 30% lower than what I'd anticipated paying at the lab I used to frequent. I know this might all sound too good to be true, but please believe me when I assure you it's all fact. It's no exaggeration to say that Sunlight is easily the best printer in this area, and among the very best in all of Los Angeles. Whether you're an amateur photographer, a hobbyist, or even a professional, Sunlight will go above and beyond to provide you with superb prints that exceed your expectations.
