    John had exactly what was needed to repair our item when larger camera shop could not. Fixed our lens in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommend as the first stop for repair needs.

    The Minolta X700 I bought on eBay that had a light leak.

    I had a really bad light leak on my Minolta X700 and was worried that I had an expensive service coming my way. But I was surprised to find that replacing the light seals was done really quickly and affordably for only $50. I'll definitely come back to for any future camera services that I need.

    Took my two pentax lenses in for repair. Two weeks later after ordering parts, they were both repaired like new. Awesome customers service.

    My Canon 77D suddenly "forgot" how to expose images correctly; the usual controls were not working in the usual manner.

    Amazing imaging equipment and services. Not too many places exist like Samy's anymore. Whether you…read moreneed old school cameras or film, photography classes or equipment, large-size imaging/scanning services, or general audio/visual training or help, this is the place to come. Very friendly service, free-standing store with parking in the back. Not the most economical, but they have a broad selection and everything you'll need.

    I had a frustrating experience at the Pasadena location of Samy's Camera that I think other…read morecustomers should be aware of. I brought in my OM-3 because the shutter was stuck closed and the camera was shutting down. I purchased a protection plan with the camera, but the staff at this location told me they didn't know what the warranty was and said they would not honor it. Since that didn't seem right, I drove to the Samy's Camera location in Los Angeles. The experience there was completely different. They immediately recognized the protection plan, honored it with no problem, and even handled shipping the camera out for warranty repair themselves. It was quick, professional, and exactly what I expected when buying expensive gear from a specialty camera shop. While I was in Pasadena, I also asked about a medium format camera they had for sale. The staff told me they could not guarantee that the camera worked. Out of curiosity I went to another camera business nearby and learned that they were actually the shop that repaired that exact camera and said it was fully functional. So unfortunately the Pasadena store left me with very little confidence. For high-end camera equipment, knowledge and service really matter. The Los Angeles Samy's location, on the other hand, was excellent and handled everything the way it should have been done in the first place.

    My experience with Rick exceeded all my expectations. I had three colorful images that I created…read morefrom ChatGBT. These are family gifts. With Rick's 29 years of expertise and excellent eye, we quickly picked out custom framing from his numerous samples, matting (in one case for a double mat), and non-glare glass. Furthermore Rick was not satisfied with my screen shots that I printed on gloss picture quality paper. So he downloaded the images from my chats and printed his own copies, in one case photoshopping the original image which had an inadequate margin. I thought his pricing was fair and totally appropriate for the quality materials and time involved. The finished frames are beautiful. Rick has my unqualified endorsement. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES!

    I had a very disappointing experience here…read more I brought in two rolls of 35mm film simply to have them developed (no scans or prints, as I have my own scanner at home). When I was told they don't offer "develop only," I said "that's a shame, no problem" and began to leave. Instead of ending the interaction there, the owner questioned why it was "a shame" and began explaining that there's "no money" in just developing film and that it's not worth it for him. He implied that I wasn't bringing enough business and suggested I should just learn to develop film myself. When I mentioned I already know how but don't have the equipment at home, he continued asking what lab I usually go to and what scanner I use, then laughed at my setup. At that point the conversation felt condescending and unnecessary. I was not upset that he doesn't offer develop-only services -- that's his right. What upset me was being made to feel like I was doing something wrong simply by requesting a service and being willing to pay for it. After the exchange escalated, he then offered to do the developing anyway, and eventually even said he would do it for free. By that point, the interaction had already become uncomfortable and argumentative, and I no longer felt confident giving him my business. A simple "we don't offer that service" would have been perfectly fine. Instead, the interaction became unprofessional and dismissive. I cannot recommend this shop based on how customers are treated. Also check out the response the owner Rick gave to my review on Google on the image attached. His response tells us far more about him as a person. 1. "We do not offer Dev. only and our website reflects that." This is deflection. My review already acknowledged that it's his right not to offer that service. That was never the core complaint. He's reframing the issue into something easier to defend -- policy -- instead of behavior. That's a classic move when someone doesn't want to address tone or conduct. 2. "Established 1998... devotion and love of photography..." That's credential shielding. When someone leans on years in business or passion as a defense, it usually means they don't want to examine how they handled a specific interaction. Longevity good customer service. 3. "The rest of your review is just a personal rant..." That's the tell. He didn't: Acknowledge my experience Apologize for any misunderstanding Say he's sorry I felt uncomfortable Clarify his intent Offer to make it right He labeled my review as emotional and dismissed it. That's ego protection. What this tells me about him * He takes criticism personally * He reacts defensively * He reframes instead of reflecting * He likely believes he did nothing wrong * He prioritizes being right over being relational Zero accountability in that response. A business owner with strong emotional intelligence would say something like: "I'm sorry the interaction came across that way. That was not my intention. While we don't offer develop-only services, I regret that the conversation felt uncomfortable." That would have neutralized everything. Instead, he escalated by calling it a rant. "because of a short, first time interaction". In business, first impressions are everything Mr. Rafik Keshishi.
