    So I'm a Peak Design fan. I own multiple straps, every day backpack in 21 and 31 liter, everyday messenger, 5l sling, both aluminum and carbon fiber tripods, capture clips, even the darn phone case. I'm going to visit the mothership when I am in SF. The store is small but it is everything I expected. Very well designed, plenty of things to feel a touch, nice lighting, and whole bunch of excited customers. The sales lady was enthusiastically chatting with 2 friends/customers. So I waited till she is done. Unfortunately she turned her charm off and was pretty luke warm, and even when I tried to connect with her during a sale her heart was not in it. May be I'm a middle aged man. May be it's the Leica around my neck. Slightly disappointed. But the store is worth a visit.

    Lets face it. If you sink huge $$$$ into a camera and lens combo then skim on essentials like straps and bag, you have no one to blame but yourself when things go awry. That's where a company like Peak Design comes in. They simply make high quality gear that is built to last. I was first introduced to them via Kickstarter, and have been a fan ever since. First and foremost as mentioned above, the quality of the gear is superb. I own two of their camera straps and the medium sized camera cube. The design is fantastic, well thought out, and the quality is unmistakable. The strap has a novel clip in system to shows wear so its easy to replace and even with a giant 150-600mm lens it still gives you a secure feel. I liked the strap so much I bought another one for my binoculars. Down the road, I Kickstarted their new carbon fiber tripod (December 2019 is the date for its arrival) and I have my eye on one of their camera backpacks. They hav a line of videos showing how to use thier novel products, and as I mentioned above: They are not cheap but they are in effect a "lifetime" purchase given the quality

    I didn't understand what this store was. I walked in to browse and entertain myself by window-shopping, and it turned out to be just window-shopping. I mean, they couldn't find some knick-knacks to sell so that wind0w-sh0ppers would spend some of their pocket money. Well, I thought it was a travel, luggage store. She said it's a "carry store." What the heck is that? But then I noticed they have "Open Hours" workshops every Wednesday from 1-5pm at the store. They have a table with chairs and this could be worth visiting again for the photo workshops. Note to Self! This is review #1111 in SF

    I love peak design gear! I definitely recommend going to their store in person because the staff is very nice and they're dog friendly (even have a jar of dog treats)! It also takes longer for stuff to ship when you order online compared to just going in store. I went today and hada great time. I've used their slide lite strap for several years and it's still in great shape. Recently I bought their 3L bag, capture clip, lens swapper, and compact tripod.

    A Pivotal Reframing of Camera Zone…read more Before you drop your review based on how fast the checkout felt or how "old school" the vibe is, pause and widen your aperture. Most of us are used to the instant-gratification feed--tap, swipe, next thing, dopamine hit. This place doesn't run on that algorithm. It runs on something slower, heavier, and way more intentional. This shop is a **contact print** pulled from a single negative that's been developing for over forty years. A Filipino family crossed the ocean by boat with almost nothing, living on rice and chicken while they built this from the ground up in Chinatown. That early scarcity wasn't cute poverty cosplay--it was the actual base exposure. Every choice you see now (the mix of film and digital, the real knowledge behind the counter, the gallery wall that isn't just background for selfies) carries the grain of that struggle. You're not walking into a retail space optimized for 2026 attention spans. You're standing inside a long-exposure photograph that's still being made. The generational gap you might feel isn't an accident or a flaw. A lot of us (Gen Z and Alpha especially) expect the world to feel like a perfectly lit, color-graded TikTok--seamless, fast, no friction. This spot moves at the pace of someone who still shoots film and has to wait for the scan. When the service feels deliberate instead of lightning-fast, that's not bad UX. That's someone actually "dodging and burning" your experience in real time--giving you the light where it matters instead of blasting the whole frame with the same generic brightness. The knowledge here isn't pulled from a database. It's passed down, like someone teaching you how to read the negative instead of just handing you the final JPEG. So if you're writing a review, try opening the depth of field a little wider. See the full tonal range instead of just the highlights and shadows that annoyed you in the moment. This isn't a store that's failing to keep up with ,"the NOW". It's a print that was composed with patience across four decades and is still holding its density. Review it like you're looking at the actual image, not just the thumbnail preview. -A gen y/z 'hobbyist'photographer

    Expired film seller at full price without disclosing it. 3 rolls of 120 film, cost over $70. All…read morethree rolls were discovered later back at my hotel room to be months expired sold at full price.. Seems dishonest and fraudulent. Paying top price for expired film isn't getting for what you are paying for, full stop. Buyer beware!
