Photographic Depot

I have been going to the Photographic Depot for a few years now, and was very impressed with the owner. He seemed to be very knowledgeable in topic of photography, and a pleasure to talk to. With that thought in mind, I brought a valuable limited edition camera in for repair, in hopes that he too held the same regard for equipment that I did. The camera was of personal importance, an expensive investment, and worth a lot. It also worked flawlessly before I sent it in, I just needed an LCD connection repaired. The repair tech could not have done a worse job. He replaced the minor part I asked to, but not before damaging the leatherette with holes and tears, damaging the plastic components with tools, scratching the dials, chipping the lens mount, denting my shutter, and screwing up the light meter so it no longer properly reads, or fires at the right speed. He also took one of my parts, and though I've contacted them twice about it, it has been a few weeks and I've heard nothing. Not to mention that it took two months. I was told I couldn't get any sort of refund for the work, as policy was he needed to fix his mistakes. Seeing the absolute horrible care he took of my camera, I would not let him touch it again if I were being paid. I took it to a friend to have the leatherette redone, only to find more internal tooling damage. I am beyond disappointed, as this camera cannot be reasonably replaced. The complete disregard for quality work and care really surprised me. Suffice to say I won't be taking my business there anymore, and I recommend that if you care about your equipment, especially the valuable sort, stay away from their repair tech.

Great place to get camera gear, Jake and Austin order you whatever you need if they don’t have it. Awesome place for printing as well, though I would try to Amazon as much as you can for the general stuff. They are a really good place for specialty gear

Some of the most knowledgeable people you will ever find on the subject of photography.

They were insanely and helpful. I will always recommend anyone and everyone to go to the photographic Depot

If you need a restoration done that’s the place to go. A perfect job always. Need any slides or movies put on DVD’s, again a great job. Had my wedding movies done there.
