Blosser’s Camera & Video

Helpful and friendly staff. They have camera equipment, they create prints, they have all kinds of stuff packed into this little store. It’s great to have a place like this in Warsaw. They specialize in Nikon, Sony and Fuji gear. The only complaint I have personally — being a Canon shooter — is that they don’t have Canon gear. Oh well, can’t have everything. Great place overall.

I’ll give this place 3 stars simply for the convenience of having a legit photo developer in Warsaw, plus their customer service was very good. I dropped film off on Thursday and was told it wouldn’t be done till Tuesday and they’d give me a call, thought that was kind of long but w/​e. 8 days later, the next Friday I call them to find out it’s been done for a few days; that doesn’t really bother me either. When I pick up my film I pay for it and figure it’s a good idea to check it b4 I leave the parking lot, which is good I did. They printed pics at the very end of the roll, meaning it’s half exposed film and half nothingness, at least ¹⁄₃^rd of each roll (I had 3) had flecks of white dust or chemical residue on them, and most of my pics had these weird subtle lines on them (which I won’t technically blame that on Blossers bc that could be my camera, though it has never done that b4).
I’m used to higher quality control, even if they just said «hey we noticed all this dust, chemical residue and lines, so we tried reprinting a few…», whether it helped or not at least I’d know they were attempting to get me the best quality my camera can afford. When I showed them all this they gave me a full refund, and they weren’t jerks about it, which was really nice ’cause usually you at least pay for processing. I’ve developed digital prints there no problem, so I’ll probably go again, but I’ll hesitate to develop film there.

I would concur with Dave M. — their equipment selection is limited and their processing is great. But here’s the real source of my appreciation: I can get 120 film processed locally, in a town of barely 15,000 people. There’s really no reason for us Warsovians to have that kind of luxury, so a Unilocal must be Unilocaled to acknowledge the awesomeness.
Especially since so much stuff around here just begs to be photographed with a 120 camera… the lakes, the wildlife, the decrepit barns… It all looks perfect in my red negative strips hanging on the little metal rack when I come in.
Thanks for existing, Blosser’s.

A good store if you have an emergency equipment or film need.
Selection is poor – but they can’t really do much about that since it is such a small store. They don’t stock pro films.
The best thing about blossers is the amazing print service. They do all sorts of film processing and enlargements for good prices. The quality is good. They have amazing 30 minute film processing. But don’t count on getting your prints in 30 minutes unless there is no one ahead of you in line for processing, or if you have more than one roll.
Great, friendly staff. I just wish that they could have better selection and prices for film and lenses (which is nearly impossible in the internet age).
I’d process my film and get enlargements at Blossers or at Apollo. I woudn’t take them anywhere else in town.
