Great place to purchase and develop film. I needed to develop a few rolls of film. Reportage was the closest to my hotel, but had very few reviews. So I decided to check them out. The shop itself was fairly small, but offered some of the usual items. There was a wall with camera gear and a good selection of film. The window in front had an assortment of small frames and some art. Everything seemed fairly priced. I spoke in English with the employee behind the counter. There were no communication issues as her English was quite good. She showed me the different scanning options and prices and informed me that the scans would take 3 weeks due to high demand. Well, I saw enough to roll the dice with Reportage. I opted for HD JPEGs (instead of TIFFs) to be sent to me via email. Just scans. I was not going to be around to retrieve prints. Reportage beat their 3-week estimate and completed my order in under a week! The scans were of very nice quality! There was plenty of detail and the color balance came out nice. None of the images came out pixelated. There were no weird colors. I actually liked these scans better than the scans from one of the labs I used back in California. Overall, I was very pleased with their work. I'll stop by next time I want to develop film in Paris or if I want additional rolls. read more

I made a resolution this year to get all of the annoying bureaucratic stuff out of the way as quickly as possible. As soon as the idea comes up, follow through with it, don't wait months until you start getting ulcers and ripping your hair out from stress. Getting my son a new passport is one of the things on that list. After making an appointment at the prefecture (check) and requesting a copy of his birth certificate (check), next item on the list: passport picture. I remembered there was this photo shop by the Jacques Bonsergent metro. Had never been, didn't know their offerings, but I headed over on a Saturday afternoon with my kid hoping to get a quick and lovely portrait taken of him. The owner escorted my son over to the little photo station, a corner of the shop with a stool, and two light projectors. He took one decent photo, and then the sun came shining through the window, so we had to take a 5-minute break until it clouded up again. Not sure why he doesn't have a screen or filter for such sunny occasions. After a few more shots with my son making a weird semi-smile, the photographer told my son not to smile but to make an expression like his, and my son's lips turned downwards into a horribly sad frown. Apparently, that was satisfactory for the photographer who said, ok, we got it, and went to the computer to start printing. I said, "Wait which one are you going to use?" And he was like "The one that conforms the best to the criteria." And I said, "I'd like to chose if that's ok." I passed over the frowny shots and found a flat smile picture that passes the criteria but doesn't make my son look like a grumpy, 50-something French man. Overall, the pictures are printed well and the results look good. The 4 passport pictures were 8E and if I want more prints it will be 4E for an additional 4. read more
