This is my favorite camera shop. I come here often so that I can develop my 35mm film and buy some new film as well. They have a ton of camera products you could buy such as lens, camera bags, at home developing solutions, tripods, and so much more! All of the workers are knowledgeable in cameras and they have been able to help me recently with a point and shoot 35mm film camera that wouldn't rewind and they helped me save my film and I was able to get it processed and the pictures came back amazing! The worker also told me about new cameras that they were going to get in stock. He let me try out some of the cameras in case I was curious about buying. It's always a friendly environment when I walk in. The Cameras are reasonably priced. The film developing is also a fair price. I know that there are other places that are a bit cheaper, but because of the location I choose to come here and I've always enjoy the experience. For film development specifically: I have bought both black and white and color film. They have a wall full of film variety you can choose from such as the classics Kodak, Cinestill, ilford and a load of experimental film. The price for developing only is $8.25. Color film is a bit cheaper than black and white if you plan on printing your pictures, printed color film is $.49 per picture and black and white is $.89. read more

I heard great things about this place so I'm really disappointed that the first time I went wasn't a good experience. I chose the standard option to develop and scan my film. It said standard is 4.5MB which is good for social media and is also close in size to what I usually get when going to a different place. When I got the scans back, they were so blurry when I zoomed in. It was misleading because the size of the downloads were 1MB or less. I'm not using these photos and ended up getting them rescanned elsewhere and having to pay more. I'm not sure if this was a mistake or if this has happened to anyone else. read more

amazing price on an amazing lens. conservative rating on condition. they underpromised and over delivered:-)

Came out great and everything super chill, had a good experience . Tuttle is my new favorite spot.

Saw from other Yelp reviews that Tuttle Cameras can take passport photos. I came in over the weekend in the afternoon. There weren't a lot of customers but there was a lot of staff, so I waited to be helped out. I didn't have an appointment to take a passport photo (nor do you need an appointment). I was able to take my picture quickly and only had to wait about 10-15min for it to be printed out. The person who took my photo let me take a look at it beforehand, just in case I wanted to retake it. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. The store has a lot of items to purchase - photo film, camera accessories, etc. I did ask to see if they also service older cameras which they can in house or send out depending on what needs to be done. I have an old camera that I found among my late father's items so I might be back to have them take a look at it to see if it still works. As far as parking, they have a small lot in the back. There's also street parking available which can probably get crowded during lunch time since there's some smaller restaurants nearby. read more

Old school store with old school customer service. Loved our experiences shopping for a used camera, then setting up photography class for beginners. Very fair prices and knowledgeable staff. I'm read more

I've been a patron of Tuttle's camera for years although this newish location is smaller. It has a charm that's unmatched the staff as always is brilliant and helpful and knowledgeable. Whenever I take my daughter in there, they're always willing to take their time to explain things to her, which is a testament to the patients and care the staff has for their customers. The selection is top-tier and you can often find good deals in there gently used case of goodies. Thank you guys for keeping the dream alive. read more

Personally, one of my favorite Camera shops of all time not only is the staff so nice and patient and willing to answer my questions and concerns or anything really about cameras they're generally one of the greatest staff I've ever encountered every time we have purchased from them it has been perfect and incredible and working as well truly one of the greatest Camera shops for it being small it has a lot of things that beginner to professional photographers may need and the fact that it is very close to the college that I am going to is truly a blessing if you have not gone into this Camera shop please do so it is truly worth going from getting film developed from concerns to anything there are on top of it!! This will forever be my favorite shop and will always keep coming back to it!! read more

Always a great experience at Tuttle Camera. Ordered online for in store pickup and my items were ready in minutes. Highly recommended!

This shop shipped my items right away and they came super fast. Appreciate service like this, especially during the holidays. They also had a great selection of film to get as gifts for family members. read more

Once upon a time, This Faerie Queen a camera rental, film, and advice. Tuttle Cameras was the best place around for all of it. The staff is super nice and hospitable. They know their stuff and are happy to share it! The prices are fair. This is a little nook shop in a quaint little area on Viking way. Check it out! The end. read more

amazing customer service & quick delivery! camera was in perfect condition and sales associates helped make this process easy and quick since I was skeptical about purchasing online. read more

I went to Tuttle to get passport photos taken and they couldn't have been nicer or more professional. There were some different requirements for Canadian passports, but they were familiar with them and knew what to do. Cost came to about $25 with tax. No appointment needed, they take them on a walk-in basis. I'll go back for any camera or photography accessory needs. This shop is great! read more

I was really stoked to see the exact lens I needed just in time for an upcoming gig. It was the meike 25mm MFT To use on my BMPCC. It must've been mislabeled, because it came in and is a C mount which I have no use for. read more

Friendly, helpful and so many great camera accessories. It's a must check out camera store for all of your needs

Great selection of cameras, great prices. Easy order process and quickly delivered early for Christmas. Many thanks!

Great people to work with! I chose a camera and a bag. The bag was too small and they called to offer their suggestion of a different bag. package came in about 5-6 days. Package was very protected and sealed. I would order from them again. read more

Very happy with the service and shipping was very fast! will definitely keep buying here.

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with Tuttle Cameras. I dropped off my camera for repair two months ago and never received any updates unless I called myself. When I finally did, I was told it had been shipped to the East Coast for repairs, something I was never informed of beforehand. In addition, I originally received an estimate, but the price was later increased because of a shipping fee I was not informed of. Overall, the lack of communication and unexpected extra charges made this a very disappointing experience. read more

They are great! I rely on them for everything camera and photos related and they never disappoint.

They have been good to work with. Prompt service and did a good job of handling a situation I had after the first purchase.

excellent service, I love the wide variety of film and good prices! shipped to me very quickly!

Everything arrived perfectly and on time. Definitely ordering from y'all again, thank you!

Very disappointed in today's transaction. I've been a customer for years. This is now the 2nd time that I've made a purchase and been sold an item that was not intended for my model camera. On both occasion, they looked the item up and told me it was the correct one. I live in Lakewood and they have been convenient over the years but I wasted $42.00 today and my time. In the future I'm better off driving to Paul's Photo in Torrance or Samy's in Santa Ana or Pasadena. read more

I needed some prints made from slides and a duplicate print from a 4x6 photo. I went to Tuttle's Camera at 5467 E. Carson Street, Long Beach. I chose them because I like to support our local small business owners. I pre-paid for the services. When I went to pick up my order, they tried to charge me again. The clerk disappeared in another room, and I stood there for more than five minutes, and she did not return. I went home and got my receipt and returned to the shop. After looking at my receipt they agreed that it was pre-paid. Their mistake. The 4x6 print was not yet done so I went back several days later to pick it up and they tried to charge me again for this pre-paid order. They looked at my receipt and said that they made a mistake and did not charge me enough for the print. So, I had to pay an additional $11.59 for one 4x6 print. That included a DVD-R of the print, which I did not want or need. I reluctantly paid the amount and then went down the street to Walgreens and gave them the same 4x6 original and asked for a duplicate. They put it on the scanner, printed it, and handed it to me within three minutes. They charged me 43 cents. The print was the same quality as the one from Tuttle's. I did this to compare costs. Had I known the true cost of a 4x6 reprint up front, I would not have ordered it at Tuttle's. Two trips to Tuttle's. Two mistakes. No apologies. I will not return. read more

We had a roll of 35mm film developed which was a weird experience in it of itself because we've been digital for years & years now. But anyway, this is definitely the place to get it done--I think all the college kids already know this tidbit. :-) The worker that helped us was outgoing, funny and kind. He gave us some tips that we could pass on to our son who's taking a photography class and offered himself or anyone else that worked there as a source of information if our son ever needed anything. That's just good old-fashioned customer service. It's a cute shop inside & I highly recommend them to anyone looking for any photography needs. read more

Tuttle Cameras - The outside of the shop is very nice & quite inviting. - Photography Stores & Services Near Me - Long Beach, California

Been going here for a few years now! I brought my grandfather old film camera to be repaired! When I got it repaired it was just like new!

I was recommended to come here from CVS lol. I guess if your looking for passport photos it isn't as convenient as it use to be. I googled locations and Walgreens, FedEx/UPS, and CVS locations popped up, but after visiting few locations they told me they no longer have the service available. Costco use to do them, before they discontinued all their Photo Centers. I called others locations and was told same thing, until the one CVS recommended to come here to Tuttle Cameras. I'm glad they did because I wasn't sure where to go, but am happy in discovering this place. Honestly I don't remember even last time I visited a true camera store, but it was nostalgic and nice to see a small business. I apologize I don't remember the clerks name, but he was very polite and helpful. Simply walked in and was immediately greet and told him I needed a new Passport Photo. I was seated on a stool right away near the middle of the store where he quickly grabbed a camera and set up lighting equipment. Took a couple shots, I previewed the photo for my approval, and gave the OK. Took no more than couple minutes. He mentioned it would take 15 mins to get it printed and ready so I just browsed around the shop. I'm not much into photography besides having basic knowledge of equipment, but it was cool to see all the stuff. Plenty of equipment for your photo needs, have used and new cameras for sale, along with actually film rolls and disposable cameras as well. I was surprised to see some Peak Design bags too, because I have a backpack from the brand. Good quality and most bags are designed with photographers in mind. I'm not sure how to fairly compare cost of items here vs other places solely because I rarely visit camera shops as mentioned. I barely waited more than 10 minutes before my photos were done. I was presented with 2 photos in a small folder and they looked perfectly fine with me. The employee mentioned if for any reason they are rejected, I would be able to retake the photo free of charge. The cost of Passport photos was $14.99, which was a little less than what I saw online at CVS or similar websites. I was in the shop probably just 20 mins, if that. It was a pleasant experience. Plenty of parking around the area just off corner of Carson and Bellflower. I'll def keep this place in mind for any photo needs of mine, likely purchase a disposable camera or two for upcoming vacations for fun. For Passport Photos highly recommend you come here, quick and easy. read more

Rented a Rode VideoMic Pro for a track event and opted to go through with Tuttle Cameras as they were local. Extremely smooth process renting the gear through them. Pricing is extremely competitive as well. A dead cat was also provided with the rental which was a huge plus and definitely not expected. I would highly recommend them for any rental needs and I will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

My friend and I passed by and the place itself is sort of hidden and camouflaged in this naturistic wall. Super nice and welcoming customer service. Their shop layout was also nice and cozy. My friends asked help for a specific battery for a video camera he just got, and this gentleman went out of their way to help him! He observed the camera's battery slot and found the correct battery we needed in no time. They were also super helpful in our questions in terms of cameras, very knowledgeable. read more

I had a portrait that I needed to have a copy and make it an 8 x 10 for a gift. The service was quick and courteous. The work came back beautiful. I am very happy with the value. If you're looking for a camera, their selection is amazing. I will ship here again. read more

The place to find anything film related! Your analog camera superstore in the digital age. I shoot on a Pentax K1000 and they have a wide array of ISO 400 film to choose from; Ilford B&W, Kodak Portra, DubbleFilm, Street Candy color Film, etc. read more

Outstanding customer service. My canon was missing a screw and I had tried ordering it on my own, different stores and I couldn't find the size. I remembered I was told about this spot and I'm so happy I went. I dropped my camera off on a Thursday afternoon and in less than 24hrs they were calling me to tell me my camera was done and fixed! The price to get my camera fixed was very fair and affordable and I couldn't have been more pleased with the quality of the service and the customer care ! read more
