An Army photographer turned businessman, Mike wanted to create an oasis of for aspiring photographers to share his passion for pictures and at that time, the precision photographic instruments of the time, primarily Japanese and German photographic equipment. The single small store in downtown Boulder developed a reputations throughout the front range for being a unique place where one could find just about every camera, slide projector and enlarger along with the widest array of films, chemicals for developing and printing photographs for the professionals and aspiring photographer alike, In 1980 the current owners, the Christianian family purchased the store. The Christianians added more product lines, professional gear, a video department and complete photo lab, processing and printing services to the existing Black and White lab. They installed one of Colorado’s first One-Hour minilabs, custom color printing, E-6 dip-and-dunk processing and one of the country’s first home movies to Video transfer facility.

I had a wonderful experience at this store. I had a big project that needed printing from my phone, camera and some scanning of old photos and the staff there was so helpful and made what I thought was gonna be an all day project into a very easy one. I even had time to look at all the new toys with the camera staff as well. Love this store!

The only place left in town for film! Even slides. The print counter is always hopping and the staff is super friendly.

i have been to this store several times and though I have needed different items every time, they have been out of stock on all of them. They then tried to sell me something more expensive or tell me I did not need what I wanted, but that an inferior product was just as good. I won't be going back.

Worth the drive!

Just happened on this store, I don't live anywhere near Denver, but needed a camera repair shop, as we don't have one anywhere near where I live. The repair shop is only at the Boulder store, but loved that one of the staff was willing to troubleshoot the problem, even though they could ship my camera to the Boulder store for the repair from that location. But turns out, it was an easy fix and my problem was solved! But now, I am willing to drive to Boulder in the future, because I'm very impressed with what this store has to offer. They seem to have everything I'll ever need in the future, no longer have to "search". I am a very happy customer indeed!

don't tell you the full story

i took my camera to mike's camera on so. colorado blvd. to have my external mic jack. fixed i called them before taking it to them for pricing and time of work, which i was told the following......3 days to diagnos the problem and they'd call me to see if i would pay the cost then a week for repairs. so far, that 3 days turned into one week and i had to call them to ask if they found the problem, then i was told it would be another week to get the part. as i called a week later i was told it would be yet another week, that it usually takes four to six weeks for repairs.### now if these jackasses would have said this in the first place i would sought out a better company to do business with.
