What customers say
I would give 9-10 stars if I could!!! This is DEFINITELY one of those in-person, smile & a handshake kind of places... Go to the shop and have a GREAT experience like I did... I came here because my wife's camera quit working. She needed it repaired/replaced in less than a week.
I recently had an amazing experience with Bernie's Photo Center while searching for a hard-to-find vintage part. Even though I’m located in a different part of the country, they went above and beyond to help me out.
I have had excellent experiences at Bernie’s. Each time I have been helped by Bruce, the son of the original owner from 1958 (Bernie). Bruce has been consistently helpful, patient and kind in answering my many questions and is a well of knowledge in this niche sector.
I had a great experience getting a vintage camera repaired and lenses cleaned. This is a great location to purchase cameras, lenses, film and supplies but also likely the best place to get your equipment serviced.
