Milford Photo — Attraction in Milford

Dishonest.

I called today and asked if they processed C-41 film on site. "Yes" was the reply on the phone. "How long does the processing take, an hour or so?" "2 days" "Wait, what? 2 days? Why does it take 2 days?" "It's not fast like digital. It takes longer" "And how much do you charge for developing and scanning to a CD?" "$6.99 for the developing and $6.99 for the scanning."

I hung up the phone and went to Jay's Photoshop in Old Saybrook, as I was working in Meriden this afternoon. He developed and scanned my roll of film in one hour. $3 for developing and $5 for scanning to a CD.

If you have 2 or more rolls of film, it would be cheaper to Flat Rate USPS the rolls to Jay's and have him mail them back, and then progressively cheaper as the film count increases.

Previous Experience:

I had $30 in various prints made. I opened the envelope at checkout to find that all of my 8x10s and 8x12s had dark strips from a printer error. No one bothered to check my prints before sending them out the door.

The next time I went to get prints, I checked at the register to have the cashier roll his eyes and sigh with frustration that I wanted to inspect my prints before leaving the store.

I try to support local businesses, it's easier to buy everything online, but I believe in helping keep our local businesses open. Unfortunately, places like Milford Photo give a bad reputation to the few surviving camera stores that still...

I recently rediscovered my love of photography and needed to update my camera and set up...I was told to go through B and H in New York as they have the best prices BUT luckily I found MILFORD PHOTO... The prices were better than B and H and the personal attention I received from the staff at Milford Camera was beyond exceptional. I bought my D500 from them and just love it. I then took one of the many photography classes they offer. This one I took was given by Jesse (who is the owner of Milford Photo) to better understand how the newer digital systems work vs the old ASA film camera systems. . I found Jesse's class very helpful, his extensive knowledge and presentation were both entertaining as well as very informative. Jesse was even willing to stay after the class and take the time to answer all our questions in a friendly professional manner...clearly understanding the differences of our individual experiences without making any of us feel foolish. I highly recommend MIFORD PHOTO for any of your photography needs.They have everything you could possible need to enhance your photographing experience and are willing to give you the time you...

Fantastic experience! I was doing research about purchasing a camera, had two in mind, and wanted to make a purchase locally even though I could have saved sales tax online. Chris at Milford Photo is awesome. Even though it was really busy, Chris took his time to show me the features of the camera I was looking at, provided several lens options and I was a little overwhelmed by all the information he shared with me. The level of service I received wouldn't even be close if I purchased online or in a big box store. While I was there, Chris received a phone call from one of his customers, and although some people might be annoyed by this, I thought it was great that he was willing to spend 10 minutes on the phone walking someone through when they were having trouble. This just means you receive excellent service even after the sale. Awesome experience, extremely knowledgeable staff, and Chris was even considerate of my budget. I walked out with everything that I needed and a brand new camera that I am confident was the best choice....
