For digital cameras, lenses, or flashes, you can get a quick estimate by filling out the information on the repair estimate form here. A tech will follow up within 24 hours during the week.

You can pay by credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express), check, or cash. Please note that we require the check to clear in order to ship orders out. There are no such delays with credit cards or cash.

We sure do! We’ve been repairing cameras, lenses, and flashes for over 40 years. And often if we can’t repair something, we know who can. Before you stop by or ship your gear to us, fill out our free online repair estimate form here so we can better assist you. At this time, we specialize mainly in digital gear so we don’t offer film camera repairs outside of general cleanings and light seal replacements.

We ship all print orders through USPS Priority Mail. All gear is shipped through UPS Ground shipping. Video and scanning orders are shipping either USPS Priority Mail or UPS Ground shipping depending on their weight. You’ll receive a tracking number once your order ships so you can keep an eye on it.

We keep you posted throughout your order through text and email updates. If you don’t have either of those, we’d be happy to call with any questions or when your order is complete.
