Doing this place on a whim when I was on my way to a work trip and figured why not check it out…read more The store is a tad off from downtown but this place is a OG users fever dream. Not only is it big but it had a rather famous wall of admittedly broken cameras that I regardless wanted to grab, printing gear, old tripods, manuals and parts bins, a whole half of the store dedicated to film cameras and their lenses as well as a nice dslr and mirrorless set up with their associated gear and point and shoots. I literally prolly looked like a crackhead as I bounced off the walls tripping out seeing stuff I had only ever seen in museums, or YouTube. While I didn't find the camera I came there for I found one of my grails a Oskar Barnac Leica iii. The camera has seen better days yah but for the insane price drop of a slight hazed summicron lens and the tested in front of me body I couldn't say no (432). Bernie, the guy who helped me went above and beyond showing me their whole collection of rangefinders and classic medium formats I was fawning over and made sure I was straight when it comes to practice and handling of something almost a 100 years old. There's something special about a bulletproof camera that's probably seen some form of action that screams to me and that they love shooting and respect the art. While I'd probably be long in between my next travel to the city I'll definitely support them online from 5k miles away. Loved this place and everything it stands for. Support local and people who perpetuate the lost art!

I spoke with the owner upon delivery of my first phase of loose photos, and he laid out different options based on my wants, needs and budget. I was kept in the loop and notified of phases being complete. I then sent a few very old photo albums, with sticky pages, and even those came out great in the scanning process. No shadow or lights like you might come across if you try to do this on your own. Amazing quality! I am very happy with the process and completion.

I had a large number of DVD 's made by a crappy Phillips DVD player/Recorder from camcorder tapes…read more20+ years ago. The format of the DVD's the Phillips created are in an unreadable format that no pc dvd player or conversion s/w on the web I could find could get them to play. Therefore, paid International Video Tape Copy to find a way to do the conversion. It was tough they said. And a few were so bad I had to give them the original camcorder taped. In the end they converted them all to a readable format on memory drives. Job well done and they would checked in with me often giving updates on their progress to completion.

Saved My Parents' Wedding Memories!…read more I was devastated when another company told me my parents' wedding video VHS tape was beyond repair due to mold. They returned it saying there was nothing they could do. I had pretty much given up hope until I came across International Video Tape Copy. Rima, the owner, was amazing from the very beginning. She offered to take a look at the tape despite others labeling it a lost cause. Rima's customer service was exceptional--she kept me updated every step of the way. From the moment she received the tape to when it was being cleaned and eventually transferred to digital format, I felt like I was in good hands. Not only did she manage to save the tape, but her pricing was also incredibly reasonable for the care and effort she put into it. You can tell customer satisfaction is her top priority, and she really goes the extra mile. I can't express how grateful I am for Rima's service and assistance. She saved irreplaceable memories, and I would recommend International Video Tape Copy to anyone needing VHS repair or transfer services. Thank you, Rima!

I went for my passport photo to be taken, he let me know the price first which is $21 tax included, for 4 pictures. He did mention different countries' passport photos cost varies, so let him know first where is your picture for. He prints them out immediately, the whole process only took about 10 minutes. He offers a selection of photo shoots, mainly official documentation types. I hope everyone who's in the area can support his business anytime possible.

I adore Texcam. Even in Los Angeles it was rare that a camera/equipment rental shop was so quick,…read morefriendly, and smart. Everything I've rented from here has been complete and in good repair (not as common as you might think!). Call Texcam for 35mm, 16mm, or digital video cameras, tripods, lighting, accessories (gels, softboxes, cookies, etc.), film stock, grip gear and trucks, or anything else you need to shoot your film/video except actors and talent. Call in advance, though, because it takes about 20 minutes to set up your account the first time, and they do run out of popular things on the weekends. If you are not sure what you need, they will help you figure it out without ripping you off, even if you sound like a total spaz of an amateur. Honestly. I have sent many students there with great results. Their rates are low for the area, but they're sometimes open to negotiation, too. If you can bring proof of shoot insurance, you'll save a lot of money upfront. The location really is in a neighborhood, across from some apartments, so don't think that the address is wrong.

Great place. Very helpful, one of the guys rented me his personal 8mm projector. Thats service!!read more
