What customers wrote in our store survey
“… Gabby, Karen, and Tim at the lab counter always provide a fantastic experience with great communication, not to mention personalized tips on different film stocks and gear. … Despite having a local film lab in Jersey City (albeit with quite limited hours) I will elect to make the journey to Fairfield instead whenever I can manage. …”
“Excellent. Pure fun. Great shooting events, great variety of classes, great camaraderie. … In the sales area I received lots of patience and direct answers to my questions. I had many because I'm new to mirrorless cameras. …”
