World of Photography - Columbus, Ohio

Clinton Davis

The best. They have all of the modern camera things you need (cameras, lenses, tripods, filters, sd cards probably, sonies, fujis, all the things) and they know all about them and can talk with you and help you find what is the best solution for your need.

They ALSO have an amazing collection of film cameras that is worth taking your time to look through and appreciate and come home with something you might not need and may not have known existed but will be so much fun to learn and play with. So many cool old cameras. 35s, medium format, large format, dark room supplies, and film that's actually out where you can look at it and compare and find something fun and new.

So you can learn from people who really know their stuff about which new lens you need for your mirrorless camera, and you can pick up your go to roll of Porta or Cinestill, but you can also discover some crazy old takumar and either grab an adapter or screw it onto a spotmatic from the clearance rack and find some cool monster film to shoot in it.

You know those book stores that you go into for something you need but also leave time to just look around and relax and appreciate what else you might find. This is that for cameras.

This store is wonderful for anyone that has an interest in photography, if that’s you… GO to this store!! The staff is so friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help.
I spoke with the owner today, about a lens repair instead of telling me no; he directed me to another local business… now that's outstanding customer service!
I have visited a few times now, and I always leave with something. I could spend hours in this store, and be happy still taking it all in.

Wonderful place, I've been going here for several years. They wont try to upsell you more expensive gear if you're new to the hobby, however they also will ensure you get a good deal and solid start. The staff are very helpful.

Huge inventory of new and used Everything. Fair and useful gear rental program. This place is penny-foolish and pound-wise in the best way. The staff is the highlight; friendly, knowledge, and never pushy. A Columbus institution.

The reason I gave this store 4 stars instead of 5 is that their prices tend to be rather high. They do have a clearance section which contains equipment with known problems but these items are as is with no returns whereas the regular items have a 10-day return policy.

I found a camera for a good price and the purchasing process was a positive one. The staff is very knowledgeable and allowed me to test the functions of the camera, and it being a camera store I was able to buy some accessories and not have to track them down from various sources.

I definitely recommend stopping by and looking, but maybe not purchasing anything unless you can find a good deal there.

I had excellent help with making a decision on some equipment. He went above and beyond looking for something specific for me.

Gunther Beam

The new location is great, they have a ton of equipment used/new. Plenty of friendly employees offering help and guidance but allowing you to browse and take it all in too

Zach Hoover
