Seawood Photo — Local services in San Rafael

So today I purchased a F100 Nikon film camera from seawood photo and a roll of film. I saw the camera on a Craigslist ad super excited. It said the camera was in “excellent condition” I made my way across the bridge, paid the toll was super excited. Turns out the directional pad wasn’t working for focus choice. That sounds like the camera wasn’t in “excellent condition” of course that feature was working in the store but became spotty as I started using it. 8 photos into the film and it stopped working completely. I went back to get it repaired and said if it can’t be done by Friday I’d need to return it because I’d be leaving for Southern California. He said sure but we won’t accept the film as a return. He then made an metaphor that you can’t return a cheese burger that you bit into a few times. I can’t even begin to explain how incorrect this is. I returned the camera on the spot and will order one from keh or b&h / Adorama. Super disappointed. I hate when small business...

Need a Canadian passport photo? They make it EASY BREEZY. they know the requirements by heart and instruct you. No management needed by me. Which is great cause I am reading the print out from the website. I’m no expert!

I’ve been trying to get this photo done right for about 2 years with no luck.

Well 2 seconds into being in this store, it was all sorted and done. I’m so relieved!!! I’m def going to be recommending this place for Canadian passports. Plus we took a little tour of the museum-esque shop and got some fun knowledge about WEIRD camera stuff I’ve never even heard of before. Crazy submarine cameras and intense hunting cameras. Along with antique cameras and newer gear. I’m not a camera person. But it was fascinating to tour some of their cool collection. This shop is a must if you are interested in camera...

I came here after another photo lab said they couldn't help me. It was my last day in California and I just finished taking photos of the Golden Gate Bridge when the film snapped from the canister while it was rewinding and my own attempts of grabbing the film myself with scissors, tweezers and bobby pins. I most definitely lost all of my photos from seeing some landmarks, but at least the staff was straightforward, helpful and honest with the best attitude for this conundrum. One of them even bought me film so I could go back out to shoot on my Canon Autoboy Jet, which is seriously one of the sweetest things thats happened to me on this trip. I may have ended the trip on a very sour note, but I will never forget this shop for helping me on such short notice. This shop is the beat. Thank you guys...
