    Have done multiple transactions with this small business, even since before they took over the suite next to them. Very happy and always visit them for any film photography needs.

    Sadly I feel like I have to leave this review after about one year of using Camera Exposure. At first, I was really excited about a cool, indie, development house and film store. And my first couple rolls went well- but in the last 6 months my experience has been horrible. While some of the younger employees are very kind, Rob has ruined my experience and I will not be returning due to him. Any interaction with him has been extremely negative/ and or rude. I was about to sign up for their darkroom subscription and I was met with no enthusiasm, kindness, or grace by Rob. Anytime I asked him a question, I was met with frustration and brief, quippy, and passive aggressive responses. I don’t want to have to “get lucky” and have another employee happen to help me out. Next, the photos. Getting photos back was good at first, but they’ve started tinting my photos, and refuse to acknowledge this. I do not think I will be returning to Camera Exposure unless they show some real change.
