This is the only place I would suggest having your film developed. They do pretty much everything here and the owner is an expert on both new and old technologies. The store even has vintage cameras on display. But the reason I went here is because I had slide film that was over two years old that I wanted developed into standard prints. No one in the area would do this. I even found it impossible to find anyone on the internet to do it. I was working with a film crew in the area and the owner let us borrow lenses and film a scene in his laboratory. I asked him if he could help me out with my problem and he said no problem. The best part is after he had them developed, he redid them because he wasnt pleased that they were the best quality. Most places would have just sent me on my way with my crappy prints. So the customer service is excellent. Also, because they are knowledgeable, if I were planning on buying a camera I would go there first to have them walk me through all the different products to help find the right one for me. I suggest you check Billmeier out before you go to Best Buy or make a purchase online. There website has more details about all their other services. So this customer definitely gives it two thumbs up.

I work for the local library system and we hired the owner of this shop, Terry Green, to come and give a photography workshop for our patrons. He was engaging, knowledgable, and really helped everyone (including me!) understand how to take better pictures, pick out a good camera, and use our existing cameras in new and interesting ways. I stopped by his shop at the end of the final session and was simply amazed at the variety of products he had. Unlike Target, Meijer, or Wal-Mart, the Billmeier Camera Shop had medium to high end products that you just cannot get from the big box stores. Most importantly, this store is a trusted source for quality information about all things photography related. They do not try to up-sell you on unnecessary stuff. Do not waste your time in a big-box chain store. Get your film-based cameras, digital cameras, and your accessories from here. If nothing else, stop by and admire the awesome antique cameras on display!

This is a great place to go for all your photography needs! I am taking a photography class for college and I started out not knowing much. The owner and staff at Bill Meier have really helped me with all my questions and have been very patient with me. They even take the time to help me load my film for every project; its hard to find that kind of personal service anywhere! They have a big variety of supplies & cameras and they always have every thing I need in stock. I highly recommend this business for all your photography needs.

When I called about them developing my 35mm film, they seemed knowledgeable, but once I dropped it off a slew of incompetence ensued. After telling me it would be so expensive because of all the work they had to do by hand with my photos, it ended up that they sent them out. I was not informed, nor was I ever told when they would be completed. After 2 weeks I have still not seen my film. I cancelled the service, was told that I could pick up my film today, drove all the way out there and.. its not even there. WORST SERVICE EVER.

Ive had exactly 2 kinds of experiences at Bill Meiers Shop. Ive had 1 experience where the guy behind the counter completely talked down to me for not knowing a thing about photography. And made me feel like I was wasting his time. The next time I stepped in there it was a radically different experience. I was given great help, great advice and great service. Its one of the few camera shops in the area. Its worth stopping in. I just hope you get the second experience and not the first.

What an amazing experience! These peeps know their stuff! I went in with the lens I wanted in mind and after a brief discussion, it was decided that the lens I wanted would not be in my best interest and was much pricier than the one I purchased! Without her knowledge, I would have spent an extra $1000 and would not have been happy! I will never shop for my camera needs anywhere else! Thanks for great customer service! You have a lifelong customer!

Terry and the guys at Billmeier Camera shop are the best there are! They helped me out last minute getting hold of a replacement drone, and not only were they very friendly through the whole process but they were also very quick to respond. Beyond that, just as a photographer, they have a great selection and beautiful collection of film cameras. Overall a fun little place to visit if you are in the area, or if not then it is worth the drive!

I was just in your shop for the first time yesterday. Amanda was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! I dropped off my older Kodak camera for repair. After I left I took some pics around town with our brand new Nikon d3100 SLR camera that we just got for our wedding. Amanda mentioned you offer one on one training classes, we will probably be contacting you in the near future to schedule one! Love your shop!

My camera, which I bought at Billmeiers a few years ago, quit taking sharp pictures. I had dropped it a few days before . I was greeted warmly. The gentleman checked the camera out and showed me how it was a problem with a setting He also diagnosed a few other problems and corrected them. All for no charge. I highly recommend this store for both purchasing and repairing your camera.

Great place. I had taken my camera there this past summer for repair and barely used it later. My camera had a problem again a few months later and they made sure it got fixed even though the warranty had expired. Terry went out of his way to make sure my camera got repaired. I also had some old VHS videos made into DVDs. They did a terrific job!!!!

Billmeier is a top of the line place. If you need camera equipment or answers this is the place. His prices are as good as Best Buy and he has great info. He knows his business. You will be treated right, that is for certain.Just left there 2 hrs ago.

Great service with a knowledgeable sales staff. Service and personal experience not available at big box stores. The only place to buy camera equipment. And a great info source if you just need a question answered they seemed more than happy to help.

WOW, what a great place! A great selection in lenses and accessories, plus the customer service is never lacking. Workers are always knowledgeable and very patient! What I dont understand is how there are not more shops like this!

Always amazing service - just recently had over 700 slides digitized by an outside service through Billmeier and am SO PLEASED at the turn-around time and the quality of work. Smart store to know the best for their customers!
