What customers say
Extremely quick with responses and services. Terrific in house services at a great price. Highly recommend them for lens repair. Just for note I was servicing a cannon l series that took a bad spill and brought it back to life for me!
An amazing, smooth, and successful experience. I had a Sony lens that took a tumble and the mount was completely bent. Without any places nearby that would fix a Sony lens and Sony themselves not producing the mount part, I took it to International Camera Inc. I called to make a quick appointment and dropped it off.
It's so nice to find honest repair people. I went in on my lunch hour with a lens problem. Turned out it was just a quick, easy fix. Instead of keeping the lens a few days and charging me for a couple hours of service (which they totally could have done) the guys at International Camera stopped eating their lunches,…
Great experience here. Had a broken hot shoe fixed, rear housing on a lens fixed plus cleaning, and it was done in 2 days. I did pay for rush service and it was totally worth it to have my gear in time for my weddings. Alice is very sweet and the pricing was super reasonable!!
