This is a niche, specialist store for film (analog) cameras which, thanks to all manner of computational AI fakery of late, are about to boom again. That "gee whiz" initial interest of AI will likely yield for many to running as far from it (or even digital) and back to the roots and physicality of feeling true satisfaction from the user experience and knowledge of craft from directing the technicalities yourself to make an image that's a gem. At least for some, perhaps many and to each their own. There is true, trustworthy expertise here and a camera for every goal and budget - from a simple Pentax to the most-desirable Leicas (hint: if starting out, you can shoot satisfying photos with most any camera while learning the craft as economically as possible. Simple beginnings are often the best memories. And definitely don't underestimate the deep knowledge of the terrific, younger staff (who likely know a whole lot more than you). There is a nice inventory of cameras and lenses (and niche, rare older parts) of all manner here. Prices are what they, either it works or look elsewhere. As for selling used equipment, I would not expect 'top dollar' from this or any vintage shop. Everyone gets disappointed in the gap between what they invision vs. what can be realistically had for any secondary market resale. Get what you can or turn to private sale on eBay, Craigslist or whatever with a little more effort.

I was at the Boulder location today hoping to find a new lens for my camera and ask about a repair…read more I was told the repair team wasn't in and to come back another time, which I understand. However, when I asked about lenses, the staff member with orange hair told me to look on the website and didn't offer to look anything up themself. They mentioned they had a box of lenses in the back for my camera, but would only pull one if I found it online first. I find it odd and unhelpful to be told to check the website while already in the store. For future customers, just know that you're expected to do the searching yourself. If that's the direction the store is going, I suggest listing repair availability online for each store so customers who drive long distances, like I did, don't waste a trip. This isn't personal and I'm sure the staff member is a nice person, but the customer service was lacking. Unfortunately, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

I really liked working with Brian, who always polite,kind and always conscientiously made sure my artist discount was meticulously included, but he wasn't there last time. Brian is why this review has two stars and not one. Here's the thing: if I'm going to be paying well for gallery wrapping, I expect the job to be done well. In prepping for my last show in which I'd ordered seven prints and two originals to be gallery wrapped, I was disappointed to see that one of my originals had noticeable ripples in the stapled wrapping. It was not a professional job. On an original. Ouch. Not what I expected from a quality frame shop. (See photo). But what really put a fork in it, was the fact that I tried them one more time, on a limited edition print gallery wrap. I picked it up, paid more than I have before, and discovered when I fully unwrapped it at home, that it was semi loose on it's frame: It was not pulled tight, the way it ought to be. It ought to be as tight as a drum. It was loose. Very shoddy. I guess, moral is: do check your gallery wrapped prints BEFORE you leave the store, making sure they are unwrapped all the way from the brown paper packaging. I made the mistake of trusting Metropolitan's reputation and was very disappointed by doing so. I will not go back again.
