Then ride the cargo elevator to 3rd floor. The space looks very cozy with sofas and many photography books. We were helped right away and the person behind the desk was very friendly. You can check their pricing on their site for film processing, processing + scanning, etc. They also sell film here so that's a plus if you are dropping some rolls and need to get more.

Quality going down. severely lacking appropriate costumer…read moreservice to handle products of such sensitive nature. Have personally seen a big change in staff recently, and notice the quality and turn around time increase dramatically. Very obvious that their focus is on representing their "elite" customer base through their social media channels rather than providing a quality standard for all customers. Even if they are YOUR WEDDING photos. I left it a three star because although I received the short end of the stick in terms of customer care, I respect and admire the work presented by the other photographers from this lab. I recommend you start with one roll that you aren't too worried about and find out for yourself.

You will only get out of the class whatever you put in - so if you don't want to do the "homework" then you won't improve. But each week we learned new tips, we practiced new skills and improved our photography. Charlie's feedback was always very positive, but also productive. I highly recommend this class if you want to learn how to better work your camera and hone your skills!

I needed a roll of film developed that was in my drawer for years. The associate who checked me out…read morewas very kind and calm in demeanor. She was also able to give me some advice on which new film to buy. I chose standard developing time and before 24 hours, I got an email saying my film was ready. It occurred to me that I also wanted digital scans, so I called them and was able to purchase a scan through a link and received the scans later that day. I love the seamless online technology for my analog ways. They saved me an extra in-person visit and I appreciate that. Would definitely use their services again!

I told the worker the minimum size I needed the scans for printing and she assured me it was correct. I got the scans back and they are some of the worst quality scans I've ever encountered. There were scratches, marks, and the color correction was horrible. The whites were green. They are not large enough in size to print at what I needed. They also shipped my film back to me unsleeved and charged me a "non sleeve" fee per roll. The film negatives have scratches from being shipped raw in a card board box. I should've stuck with my regular film lab, but was trying to save a few bucks. Not worth it. I would not use for any professional job.

Sadly I'm not able to use their services as much as I'd like to due to dwindling budgets and the slow, kicking death of editorial photography, but when I'm feeling rich and I shoot film for myself, it always goes here, they're the only ones I trust. Expensive? Yes. But if you're shooting film to begin with, you're not thinking about your wallet much anyway... And hooray for not having to go all the way to Chelsea. You can grab your groceries at Whole Foods around the corner on the way home - don't forget the sheep's milk cheese and imported chocolate, you Brooklyn, canvas bag-toting, organic-eating hipster yuppie...

I cannot speak for the whole company of course, but this is the case with everyone who touched my order at iDigitize (except the delivery messengers, who were sub-contracted, and DJ the dispatcher). Highlights of this review for people with limited time or short attention span: -You cannot trust IDigitize's work- you need to double check all the conversions for yourself -Very inconsistent with quality of digitizing--and often make mistakes -More expensive than its worth/other places -Slow communication and bad follow through Waldo Mayo (despite the wonderful name) and the team of technicians foiled my order of 8mm, VHS, and film reels repeatedly. They gave me digitized files that only had 16 minutes out of 2 hours on them, they misnamed the files and copied one tape twice under two different names and then never copied another video altogether. I then didn't trust anything they copied and had to double check them on my VHS as well as 8mm camcorder. Unfortunately, I couldn't check the 1970 reel and I just have to hope that it was correct. They corrected the files for free after a long back and forth and then still did them poorly. The corrected films came back in a format that cut off the top and the bottom of the video content. I compared with the 16 minutes of the tape that they had done before and that one contained the whole picture. This is not excusable in any sort of serious or even amateur editing situation. I suppose only videos of your short granny should be processed here. This all makes iDigitize seem as though they both have no quality standards and do not understand the technology they are hired to operate, to say nothing of their lack total lack of care for their customers. From the moment I visited their website I should have known. Their price chart is confusing and claims: "Honest Pricing- No Surprises" ... be prepared for surprises! And: "Select from our ranges of prices- you won't be disappointed" They only have one price for each service- unless the medium is different, then of course it's more expensive. I discovered their prices for tape digitization are about $5 higher than other places' prices and thought it was worth it for the free pickup/delivery. This free pick up and delivery is treated as a favor to the customer, even though it is the most promoted element on their website. I was in a dialogue with Waldo for a month about how they can make it up to us regarding the latest error on their part and I aim to never send them any work again, unless they can offer any reasons for me to trust them. And about a month ago Waldo has dropped off from replying. I've spent more time on checking their mistakes and corresponding with them then they have on the job itself, for which I paid about a thousand dollars. (Yes, this is the same review that I posted on other Idigitize locations as my interaction was not specific to one location)

I have not had the service done yet, but am going to hire them for the job because of their efficiency, quick responses, and EXCELLENT customer care so far. I wanted to get an estimate of how much it would cost to digitize my family memories. They sent a delivery courier promptly to my apartment to pick up my tapes and gave me as estimate the next day. They make it so simple! I'm excited to get my family memories back. Will write another review in about 3 weeks when the process is finished!

Beautifully made cameras and accessories behind glass partitions for you to ogle at, as if they are the artworks, themselves. The employees seem mostly of the "hipster" quality (take that for what you want) but they are also knowledgable photographers that can answer any questions you might have. Friendly and happy to chat with you. The gallery area in the back was quite nice to see. It's slightly stripped of that snobby 'upper echelon' of photography that you might expect at MoMa. Perhaps lesser known photographers, just like you and me, showing Leica-made work. Leica isn't paying me for this review, but I sure wish they were.
