I went to trade-in some vintage equipment in exchange for some Leica gear. They were super thorough making sure my gear was in proper working order. They offered a very fair price for my gear and a deal was struck. I'm super happy with the experience! By the way, thank you Zane!

We went in to have them check a Nikon F3/T that's about 40 years old, which was bought from a…read morecollector. The staff was very friendly when we came in. Jason was especially kind and informative, and mentioned that they've inspected this camera model for years. It was helpful to have him briefly check the camera. The camera had never been used by the original collector. He checked the overall condition, the shutter, viewfinder, and film housing, and didn't try to charge us for an inspection when some places might try to add extra fees. It made us feel like they truly care about their customers rather than trying to hustle money. Based on his inspection, the camera was in great condition. We bought Portra 400 and HP5 (5 rolls each), totaling roughly $160. Jamie at the register helped confirm that we had the correct film for the camera, which we were very thankful for because we had originally grabbed the wrong size. She helped us get the correct one. Thank you all! Also, they have a shop pet named Flash, she was very friendly and even had a cowgirl hat!

This review is massively overdue. I'm a former frequent flyer here, and I have to say TIF is my…read moreall-time favorite one-stop shop for anything photographic in the Bay Area. I started coming here six years ago to augment the lab time and instruction I was getting in school. Their darkroom was my happy place for a long time and was fairly priced. What impressed me the most about their gorgeous space was that they encouraged clients to get their work off their screens and onto the walls. Literally, any time I had a question about anything related to photography or printing, Stuart, Ed, Constance, Chrysta, or Nathan would make the time for me and help me out or give me feedback. I enjoyed printing there and always left feeling inspired because they were so kind, knowledgeable, and professional. If you'd like to learn about photography, I highly recommend checking out their services, classes, and workshops. I wish I could give them more than five stars!

A a small business owner I have never left another business a bad review, but this experience was…read moreunacceptable. My artwork was mishandled and the finished product I had hired them for was poorly executed and unusable. I had to take it to a qualified business afterwards who confirmed they did not do a good job. When I raised the issue, the owner and staff were dismissive, refused a refund, and ignored multiple emails and calls. Their unprofessional behavior was bizarre and astonishing. They clearly aren't equipped to handle valuable artwork. Save yourself the headache and take your projects elsewhere.

It really impressed me that another local business would forward a potential customer to LightSource. I wasn't completely sure what I needed. The staff were very patient with me, asking questions and explaining the options. Once we agreed on the work to be done, they used their in-house expertise with color to make the results much better than I could have on my own. They seemed personally invested in my project and always responded to my emails within a day. They could have phoned it in due to how clueless I was, but they didn't. High-quality professionalism and zero snootyness. I'd happily go back for any similar project in the future.
