Castle Photo

Edit: As of July 2007 Castle Photo will be closed! Here is what you missed:
Castle Photo seems to be the only real camera shop in the Lansing area. It’s quite small, and hard to find — in a strip mall in the Frandor area. The size of the store belies its purpose as a one-​stop shop for the amateur photographer. Castle Photo stocks black and white chemistry, film of most sizes up to 5×7, paper, and of course cameras. They also have a consignment section, so if you want to buy or sell an older camera, Castle Photo will help you out.
The staff is knowledgable and will advise you if, say, you don’t quite know the right orange filter to buy. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with their answer to any question I come up with.
Also, they process and print B/​W negatives, and have a darkroom for rent where you can print anything up to a 6x6cm negative. So yeah, they’re a great resource.
Unfortunately they don’t stock Polaroid films, something I love to shoot, so that brings the store down a small notch.
