Leica Store Washington DC: what do users think?

Haresh Mehta: The store without a doubt lives up to the Leica standard. No rush rush sales pressure, no up-selling, just a fantastic educated opinion from Leica Ambassadors. I met with Christopher, he helped me trade in my visoflex and get the new one, completed the paperwork for the service of my m10R, while I enjoyed browsing through their gallery and books. Happy to buy from here and revisit.

C Davidson: Excellent shows and small gallery. Knowledgeable sales rep and they understand the Leica mystique. Helped a friend buy an M10 here with a 50 Summicron and used 28 Elmarit. The Elmarit looked brand new.

Prakash Narayan: I have been savoring the joys of this store for many years now. Werner Paul and his team are superb -- extremely solicitous, considerate and informative, and professionals through and through. Any matter concerning my precious Leica camera or lens was considered and addressed swiftly and thoroughly -- to my complete satisfaction. A photographer could not ask for more, and I remain grateful.

Richard Burg: A great store with great products and a superb staff. Each member of the staff is an accomplished photographer who willingly shares knowledge and technique. Particularly recommended is the individual photography classes offered by David Bickley.

Francisco Lovko: The staff was amazing, their customer service was impeccable and they were great ambassadors for the brand! They were very knowledgeable about their products and photography in general. We had a great conversation about digital and analog photography.

Marcos Rego: I went in just to window shop. The two working behind the desk there were beyond helpful with my questions, so much so that I ended up buying a strap for my M3 that I had just bought (that they also generously checked out for me). It was an absolute pleasure.

District Camera and Imaging: what do users think?

Suzy Fitzgerald: I love District Camera! When I was living in DC this was the only place that I would get my film developed. Syed is the best, he is so friendly and answers all my camera and film questions! The scanning and development process is timely and the quality is very good. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for somewhere to get film developed!

Demna Devdariani: Today, I went to the store to look for a battery for my flashlight. Ken, who was sitting beside the computer, helped me find out which exact battery I needed. He was very kind, professional, and genuinely cared about finding the item even though the store did not carry that particular battery. He spent around 15-20 minutes looking for the item online for me. He was the most genuine and helpful store associate I have interacted with in recent years.

J F: I visited the shop today and I was greeted by the nicest employee, Ken! I was a little nervous to go in because I am quite a novice when it comes to photography. Luckily, Ken sensed my hesitation and kindly and patiently walked me through the entire process. I mean the entire process — film, shooting, and setting up my cameras. Also, Ken made sure to let me know what cameras were worth investing. I wish I could give this place 10 stars just because of Ken! I definitely will come back again !

Jon Bauer: In Washington for for a conference and found myself in immediate need of a card reader. Not the easiest thing to find. But when I googled nearby photography stores they came up. Only a couple blocks away. Not only that, I was met with most knowledgeable & friendly staff I could imagine. The store is stocked with new & used equipment. A small downtown oasis!

Alex Baughman: I am a regular customer at this location, but not one to write too many reviews. However, during my latest visit, the staff provided service that made it necessary to write a review. I was almost two months late to pick up my developed photos; against all odds, Ken and Deon found them for me after looking for about 20 minutes. To be clear: they didn’t need to do this; they simply went above and beyond. I’ll look forward to always being a returning customer, especially at a place with such knowledgeable, friendly, and committed staff.

Pro Photo Inc.: what do users think?

Gianina Lash: 100% recommend! came to them with a time-sensitive need for a battery charger for an older DSLR camera that we needed to use for an event 8 hours later. they helped us find a store that had the right type of charger in stock and charged the battery for us in the meantime. So impressed with their service and help when we were in a pinch!

Michael Sanchez: Brought in my Canon AE-1 Program to repair a jam, which they were able to do, albeit expensively (they were very transparent with costs throughout the process). The repair seems to have worked great, however the mirror is now extremely dirty, which is why I’m docking one star. Overall happy with the repair but definitely make sure to check everything before accepting your camera.

Elliott O'donovan: This is my go to camera store in DC. As a professional photographer, I always appreciate the hospitable customer service as well as the great selection of products that are competitively priced when compared to online retailers like Amazon or B&H. I would suggest supporting your local community and buying from ProPhoto!

Deltoria Gallant: I came for passport pictures for my infant and it was an excellent experience. very perfessional they knew exactly how to capture the perfect picture of my baby boy.

Benjamin Swanson: Great experience. Everything went smoothly and the staff was super nice! I definitely recommend these guys for camera needs!

Aperturent: what do users think?

Isaac J: Such a cool spot to rent. They have more than competitive prices without the shipping costs for locals. The only knock is drop offs. They only have weekday hours, so commuting into the city during the work week is tough. I’m hoping they’ll have drop off partners in Virginia and Maryland.

Rashad Smith: Aperturent is very convenient! You can just order and pick up the same day. They don’t always charge an arm and leg for deposits. I hope they continue to stay the way they are. Definitely recommend to try them.

Dominik Jenkins: I hate it took me this long to find Aperturent! I would of been started years ago renting from them! Absoultley one of the best camera rental stores in DC! 5/5 stars!

Dan Boggs: I have rented lenses from Aperturent several times and each time has been flawless! The equipment is packed well and in great condition.

Anthony J Minter: Literally the only place I rent from since I found out about them. Excellent service, great prices and convenient. I’ve told so many people about them. THE BEST

District Camera & Imaging - Arlington: what do users think?

Kris Morris: Great selection of professional camera and photography gear, including *film*, and bags, at competitive prices. Helpful, knowledgeable staff. Clean, attractive, well-stocked. Great local resource for photographers!

Brianna McCormack: I couldn’t have had a better experience! Tom, behind the used parts counter, was extremely informative and helpful. It makes a difference when someone is there because they really want to be, and not because they have to. If you want a team that is super knowledgeable and friendly, I would definitely go here. Amazing!

Jim Agniel: Local enthusiasts are doing the best that they can. They sell on Amazon, but local pickup is a convenient option. The used lens I bought was in excellent condition.

Benjamin S.: They are a life saver. Some gear failed day prior to needing it. I talked to two members of staff who were very knowledgeable and helped me solve out the problem. I was able to test gear with my own before purchase to ensure compatibility. I will certainly return

Curtis CR: Amazing customer service!! The store front is beautiful and they have an amazing selection. The staff is also extremely knowledgeable and helped me find exactly the setup I needed for my upgrade! Thank you District Camera! We will be back!

Edward Arevalo: I got to the district camera on Wilson’s blvd Arlington VA, the staff there are extremely friendly and they know what they are talking about. I love how the camera store is conveniently near my job and that they still sell film! They have a bunch of great camera gear and the store itself is very well organized and clean! I’m definitely gonna be coming to this camera store a lot more often and highly recommend this store to anyone who asks me about a good local camera store ☺️

DC-Camera: what do users think?

Jt Thompson: The staff here is so amazing! So helpful and attentive. They hold equipment release gatherings, meet and greets, and educational workshops. When you rent from them, for all intents and purposes, your project becomes their project. They see that all your equipment is in top order and that all your needs are met. Best rental house on the east coast!

Lizzy Bamford: DC Camera saved my senior film!! They are so knowledgeable of the gear and absolutely the best rental house I have ever worked with! The whole team does what they can to help students, and shows us how a professional rental house works. I am very appreciative for everything DC Camera has done for me and my project!

Kai Dickson: We’ve had the fortune of working with DC Camera for every one of our major projects so far and without them, our films wouldn’t be the same. I’ve never been in contact with such a kind and responsive team, completely dedicated to making sure their clients get the job done in the best manner possible. I have nothing but love and great appreciation for them.

Marcus Artis: DC Camera is a great place for you to rent a camera. They were able to advise me on the best equipment to use for the work I was trying to do. They have exceptional customer service and were very friendly. I was even able to switch out to a different lens, since they one I originally got was too big for what I wanted to do. Overall, great experience and will definitely be renting from them again if I need their services. Kyle was AWESOME!

R Doss: I had DC-Camera a really great experience while renting quasar science rainbow lights from here. The reservation was quick and easy online. The staff helped out with the setup of these light and provided the clamps for mounting to the C stands at no extra charge. Highly recommend them for your next shoot

Edward Trauschke: They were incredible! They went above and beyond to meet our needs. My company had a shipping issue come up and we were out of all of our equipment. DC Camera was extremely helpful and resourceful in my short notice time of need. Would highly recommend to anyone in the DC Metro Area.

Metro Camera: what do users think?

President Trump: I had an amazing experience at this store! I bought a lot of political merchandise and postcards! The owner was helpful, kind, and pleasant. We had a great conversation! This place is truly a hidden gem, it has been in business 49 years and the gentlemen has done a tremendous job with this business. I’ll be back!

Constantin T: I had passport photos done here recently, and they came out great. The owner (and photographer) is very kind and pleasant to work with.

Mohammed Ghupta: This place is a great shop. I had an old photo that I could barely see. It was my memory of my mother when she died in Pakistan. The kind old gentlemen helped me right away and helped me get it framed. I also needed a passport photo and he fixed it right away. He is great with this type of technology. I would recommend this place 10/10 times. It is so helpful.

Kyle D: One of the only places in crystal city that will do notary on ANY document (wills, power of attorney, etc) - banks don’t do these kind of documents anymore! The gentleman / owner is nice and pleasant. Honestly who does one hour photo anymore though? Quite amazing businesses like this stay afloat. But I come here for all my notary needs!

Dominion Camera: what do users think?

Sherry Garay: I am an amateur photographer and I used to drive out to Burke to another local camera shop. I decided to give Dominion a try, and I am so glad I did! This is a locally owned “mom and pop” business and it feels good to support a small local business, instead of putting more money in the pocket of a man who wants to play around in outer space. The staff at the store are super knowledgeable. One of them used to work for Canon and can tell you everything you need to know about Canon gear. They helped me make my decision on moving to a new mirrorless camera. I believe they are the only local shop that does their film developing on site. They also do black and white developing by hand. My prints look better than they have in years! They also sell an array of cool films to play around with. I picked up a roll of Dracula film from Romania. They also take passport photos and guarantee them as acceptable by the State Department. I also just found out their classes have started back up and they have a studio space upstairs they rent out. Seriously, if you are a pro photographer or just an amateur like me, then support this local business. This is a great camera shop, with just about anything you could possibly need, including a used gear bargain shelf!

Mike Tike: Gary is the best. I was looking for ZV-E10 ( sold out everywhere you can check that right now) but I swore it was sold out. He told me hd actually had one and the color I wanted. He looked all over the store and finally found it. That’s customer service you won’t find at Best Buy. I’m so happy with my purchase this is the only place I’m going to for camera equipment and vlogging gear.

W Russell: I found this place by walking around Falls Church. For a photographer or anyone interested in any level of photography, this place has it all! Prices are reasonable and the customer service is 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!! Gary, the owner, is super friendly and knowledgeable in his products. GREAT PLACE!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Keep up the great work Dominion!

Michael Ryan: Really good experience over several visits to Dominion Camera. The team, especially Gary, are really knowledgeable and helpful. Some highlights: - Fixed my film camera for free after taking it in - Good film development and quick turnaround - Spent several days and hours going over a new camera to purchase. They were helpful and patient to make sure I got what would fit my needs. Highly recommend.

sahra ahmad: I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while now. I love supporting small businesses, and this one is one of my favorites. It is right near my office and taking my film to get developed and print is so nice. I appreciate that unlike the big corporations (CVS, Walmart, etc) they only make you pay for the photos that they found, so if a piece of film was bad, they don’t charge you for a print of that. I also enjoy that it is so quickly done! Unlike the big corporations that take up to like 2 weeks, they took only a fraction of that time. The quality of the picture paper was nice too- I always go with a matte finish. Nicest people ever work there, and overall I would highly recommend! I know this sounds like a fake review, but I promise this is 100% legit. I can’t wait to take more of my film to get developed.

Mehmet Esen: John is amazing with scanning photos! I could not believe the high quality reproduction of an old photo. And on the same day! I would highly recommend their service.

Arif MC: One of the only place where you can get picture according to Canadian passport requirements. American passport picture were 10.99. And Canadian 15.99

Ibrahim Imam: Excellent service. I went to get passport photos and was in and out in 10 minutes.

Heidi Yazdani: Came in to get my film developed, they came out great and super fast compared to all the other stores I have been to. Will definitely be returning and I recommend this store to anyone looking for the same thing!

Thai Hung Nguyen: While there are plenty of choices for photo printing service providers you can come to, this one is unique and special. Your photos are always customized and made beautiful to your preferences. John is excellent and experienced at what he is doing. This store has been here for 30 years and they always provide great services and quality products. They are very prompt and accurate as well. What a rare find in this technology era.

Abhilash P: I called to check if they were open. Came here in the evening for passport photo. They saw the photo specifications required. He allowed some time to set the hair. he clicked the photo in his setup and gave the 2 photo copies quickly. In and out within 10 to 15 mins.

Alan Cinsavich: I heard about this place from a colleague and the moment I stepped into the store I think I fell in love and went to heaven at the same time. For professional photography and videography this place has everything! And I mean everything! Camera bodies, lenses, flashes, lighting, backgrounds, bags, filters, accessories, camcorders to Cinema HD cameras and the list can go on. And even more amazing they have film camera and can also develop B&W and Color film! Robert the manager was super nice, had a great sense of humor and very helpful and knowledgeable. They also accept trade-in. I live in Maryland and while this place may be far from home for me I am definitely planning on making special trips to this Mecca of Camera Stores.

Mike Litters: Friendly staff, very helpful. Great selection of new and used cameras and lenses. A little pricey... But so are cameras and lenses

Ann Esther: If you need to get your film processed this is the place!! Everything was done quick and on time and the results had me flabbergasted. This is the place for all things photo.

Ann Denkler: I had to have a professional headshot taken for a new job, and Tony was amazing. He made me feel at ease, and he worked patiently and thoroughly with me on the images making sure they were what I wanted. I am super happy with how the shots came out, and, most importantly, so is my new place of employment. Also, prices are more than reasonable!

E Hay (ehay2k): Great place to get passport photos. They even take photos for EU/UK passports. Nice people, quick service.

Jerrianne O'Day: Tony worked diligently today to get a digital passport picture that would successfully pass the upload online application process when the specifics about what was needed were not evident from the application site. After several reworks of the photo, resends via email, and telephone calls, he figured it out, tested himself on the site, and we got it done. Thanks again for all your attention today!

Ryan Coughlin: Tony did excellent work in creating my canvas photo a while back. He was engaging, efficient, and is seriously adept with Photoshop.

Tim Mannel: Photo Scope is a GREAT small photo studio. Tony is a professional who truly cares about his customers. Great value and excellent quality.

Capitol Hill Frame & Photo: what do users think?

Maggie Boys: Capitol Hill Frame and Photo did an excellent job for me. I needed 20" x 30" signs printed and mounted on foam core and I had a very tight turn around time. They worked really well with my designer and everything turned out perfectly for my event.

Garrett Arwa: Came here to get a backlog of items framed. There was no wait time, and a few of the items I brought fit into ready-made frames which the they assembled for me on site. This option is recommended as it’s about half as cheap to do a pre-made frame as it is to do a custom with the cheapest frame/glass. But the ready-made frames come with a solid gram and glass, not cheap plastic. The custom jobs are not cheap, but probably about the same price as using Framebridge. Also used the wait time to get a passport photo.

Sam Rosenbaum: Such a great experience getting an original art piece framed here. I reached out to ~15 local vendors for pricing and got the best deal here for a very large piece. Stuart was super friendly and helpful, and the turnaround time was much quicker than I expected. So pleased with the end result!

Wendy W: This is by far and excellent place to get high quality photo prints. There’s also a large selection of reasonably priced cards and printing supplies.

bryan coxwell: I took a 50 year old newspaper here to get the front page framed. The paper was brittle and looked like it could have fallen apart under the slightest provocation, but they did an excellent job preserving it and the finished product looks great. Will definitely be going back next time I need something framed.

Holly Robertson: Waited 8 years to get my graduate school diploma framed. Worth the wait!!
