Pro Photo Supply

How do you feel when you walk into a conference and are greeted with grudging non smiling persons? May I call it a "diswelcome." Within 30 secs WE KNEW....(we are the objects of "their" sales pitching today). Well after a long drive we thought we'll stick it out and give these people the benefit of the doubt. See the thing is we are trying to decide WHERE and from whom we want to spend this year's budget. We are not big big spenders but we do spend a large amount each year for our equip. We decided to go to all 3 sessions for a small total of $15. But a half hour in and I began to think I should have been paid to come. Although I'll admit the beginner first session was certainly the best. Tsadly went downhill afterwards. Coffee? Tea? Forget it. Canon's cutting their budget. The billions they make ...or how about Oregon Pro Photo....you think they might offer some water or coffee... Oh no folks they just aren't making enough profit off of their clients to offer such delicacies. And don't forget about the table people a scary group in the best words. What ever happened to customer service? Maybe reps from India just aren't so bad after all. more

Pro Photo supply is a wonderful source for the somewhat serious to serious photographer. I wanted an expensive telephoto lens and was happy to find out that they carry used photo equipment, it saved me about $100.00, and it was like new. They also are knowledgeable and will help you find the right filter etc. I would check them first before purchasing your camera equipment and film. more

If you have been wondering where you can walk into a gigantic cooler and find yourself completely surrounded by pro film, this is the place. There are other stores that sell pro film in Portland, but Pro Photo has the biggest supply, the largest variety, good prices, and you can walk in and pick it out yourself. I've got to believe their film business has suffered because of digital, but it doesn't show. And, if you are a digital fan (or just realize how cost-effective and consistent it can be), then this is also a great local place for all of your gear. They have computers, cameras, printers (big fancy ones), and all of the paper you need to do your fine art or professional work. And, of course, they have all of the standard photo gear, too... cameras, bags, tripods, lighting, darkroom supplies, and an extensive rental program. Yet one more reason to stay local. more

This outfit is located in NW Portand. This shop sells cameras, new and used as well as all the supplies, film, bag,lighting etc. You may also rent a camera. YOu can order equipment that they don't have on hand. Several times a year they have camera workshops. The employees are mature, friendly and knowledgable. The have a small parking lot on the side of the store. more
