This independent photo shop sells extraordinarily expensive stuff. Most of it seems overpriced -- check online before going, at BandH photo . com or JR.com. They do offer processing, which is good. And they offer passport photos. If you are a high-end photographer they may be able to help you with unusual requests for equipment, filters, etc. But overall, everything in this shop is too expensive. Perhaps tourists keep this place in business, as well as whatever university contracts they might have. Still, it's nice that an indie photoshop exists, instead of CVS processing. Fun to visit as well.
