Kickin’ it Old School Film Style

Whether you’ve never shot a roll before, or have a backlog of rolls in the fridge to develop, we’ve got you covered. We have a great selection of black & white or colour films in 35mm, medium format, or even 4x5, and a variety of darkroom chemistry and equipment to take those negatives all the way to a print. And with seasoned film shooters on staff, we’re happy to answer any questions you might have.

Used Gear Selection

Looking for some old film cameras that just aren’t made anymore? Want some second-hand options for that next lens? Or maybe you’ve got some gear sitting at home that just isn’t being used anymore, and you’d like to pass it along? Our consignment and used section might have just the solution you’re looking for. Feel confident about buying second-hand with our expert staff who handle and test everything that comes into the showcase, and clear out some space for more gear by consigning or trading in your gear with us.

Books Here, There, Everywhere!

From inspiring monographs to how-to manuals to nail the perfect shot, we have a huge array of photography books for any need. With floor-to-ceiling shelves, come browse our bookstore and you’ll be sure to find something you like. Classics like Robert Frank’s The Americans sit next to collections from local photographers like Mike Drew’s On The Road, and whether you need a technical manual on astrophotography or a basics book to get you started, we’re happy to make suggestions and get some pages in your hands.

Start with Black and Add Light

Continuous or speedlight or strobe? On camera or off-camera? Five lights or one? We have the expertise to help you get it right. Our selection will inspire you to take your set to the next level.
