We have a lot of vintage 35mm films from the early 50's and we wanted to digitize them to preserve them for future generations. Alpine Camera was very responsive to all our questions and their prices are better than our local shop. We were really impressed with the quality of the digitized version. In fact, we were so impressed, we gave them all the rest of the films (about 40) and all our 8mm and videotapes to convert. Would highly recommend Alpine Camera.

Film or other unique camera needs? If so, there are not many options left where you can get questions answered face-to-face. This is one of those options. Lots of older used bodies and lenses for sale, too!

Great store. Staff is really knowledgeable and nice to talk with. Their selection is awesome with vintage and newer film cameras, film stock, all kind of camera accessories, etc.. I picked up a leather camera bag for my old medium format camera at a very reasonable price. I'll be going back.

Great store with great employees! They have a nice assortment of cameras, lenses, and film with fair prices. I'm very happy to do business with them.

I very seldom write bad reviews and I couldn’t say how completely disappointed I am with one of the few camera stores left in the area. The owner cane off as an extremely kind man and a great business owner so I was really excited to be working for what I thought was a great storefront and what seemed to be a great staff. From the first day working I felt extremely unwelcomed by everyone there. They would get frustrated when I didn’t know where they put certain things as if I was an inconvenience for not being able to read their minds. They would constantly make comments like “your generation doesn’t do this and your generation doesn’t know that” which to me comes off as harassment. I’m not going to make a huge list of everything wrong with my short experience working there but note this, I WAS NEVER PAID. That’s the type of person the owner is, he ignored my attempts of getting some type of payment for my time and money I put into driving 50 minutes to and from work every day. If you’re not interested in my personal experience at least know this, DO NOT BUY OR SELL ANYTHING FROM THIS STORE. I witnessed the employees bragging about how they would rip people off with both buying and selling camera equipment. A customer came in with a Canon AE-1 Program, a beautiful medium format mamiya (645 I believe) and a Nikon Film camera, and the owner offered him 50 for all three... The customer obviously didn’t understand what the Actual value on those cameras was because he accepted it. The mamiya alone was going to be resold for about 1300. I absolutely could not continue working for someone who doesn’t think twice to rip someone off like that. Absolutely disappointing, I cannot even express how devastating it is to be typing this out but I hope it makes a difference. Hope you read this Chuck, thank you for wasting my time.
