Hands down the best camera shop I’ve ever been to. Got my first medium format camera and all the gear without breaking the bank! Lee, the owner, is a camera expert who genuinely cares about the craft and those who do as well. They have everything you could need or dream of ☁️

This is genuinely a great camera store especially if you like film photography. They have a wide variety of cameras and film. I recently bought a Mamiya 645 for a great price. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful. I will be coming back here in the future!

Absolutely love this place! The owner Lee is a cool dude! Always willing to take time to explain things and to help you find exactly what youre looking for. Havent done any of his photography classes but Im just waiting for some time off to sign up!

There’s many good options and the owner is very fair. Everything is a great price and you’re sure to find exactly what you are looking for there. The owner takes his time with each customer and answers all your questions to the best of his abilities which I greatly appreciate! It’s nice to not know everything or exactly what you’re looking for and having the quality help that he gives. I highly recommend!

Really cool. Their old camera wall was super cool. They had everything I needed at a better price than Amazon. 10/10

Very organized. Great supply. Lots of fun old cameras, film, and accessories as well as new digital cameras, tripods, cases, etc. Classes and workshops are also available here.

Very nice and knowledgeable staff! Great selection of used gear. Picked up a few filters from them at great prices!

Absolutely the best camera store that I have been to. Monument Camera is an excellent store and resource for film photographers in the Tucson area. Lee is super knowledgeable and has a wide selection of cameras, lenses, and film. You can pick up anything from a entry level 35mm camera to more advanced large format field cameras. It’s also great to be able to support a local business as opposed to shopping online.

Great selection if vintage cameras and knowledge staff! Will be returning soon

Everything is beautiful. The guy is a great helper and he had a lot of patience to me.

Monument Camera is a Tucson institution. And now under the management of a new owner, has really stepped up their game. Along with a huge assortment of vintage film cameras, they offer a large assortment of digital cameras and accessories as well. The new owner Lee, has a wealth of knowledge and is very helpful with all questions you may have regarding camera gear.

Friendly owner, and a very welcoming store. We are just starting the hobby and its nice to have such a positive experience.

The owner of this place is super helpful. The service was great. Very knowledgeable and the ultimate camera place in Tucson. Highly recommend if you want camera needs! They sell 35mm film!!

Great gear. Some of it is just awesome to look at. Making deals with the owner was a breeze.Only 4/5 because I was definitely sold a defective vivitar teleconvertor. There is no change at all in the lens’s when rotating through stops. I used it a few times and one day is just didn’t work. Was pretty mad. Still kind of an about the whole thing.Film selection is great. Camera knowledge and equipment is great. They do repairs and such, but they just looked at mine and said it was fine. Though with two black produced rolls of film, I’m specious about what they looked at. I did a full rundown myself and it looked good. So idk.Anyway I like the shop.Wish I could grab some new gear sometime and barter a bit more. Just hope I don’t get another lemon lens.Edit for the owner reply:Thanks for your response. I’ll be sure to stop by when I am able to. I’d be happy to explain more as well. But other than that, I really enjoy your shop and will be in again.

Great customer service. Lee is a master at his craft. Thank you again for helping me get my moms camera back in working order.

Great to have a real photoshop in Tucson! Awesome selection of cameras (35mm through large format) and an owner who both seems to love his work and is super-helpful. Particularly if you shoot film (or if youre interested in getting started but not sure how to do it), stop by and check it out. A fun browse even if you dont need anything in particular...

The owner was very friendly and extremely helpful and was very surprised that he had the items I was shopping for. Would definitely recommend a visit for anything involving photography.

Monument offers comprehensive sales, service and repairs with friendly and knowledgeable service. Lee is an asset to our photographic community and he and his wife are an excellent reflection on what small business posture should be.

Nice place, owner is very nice also. Very knowledgeable. 1 * missing with cuz they dont sell new stuff. But thats not really a bad thing these days. They also do repairs and offer photo classes great prices?

What can I say but the best for old school photography, and just ask for Lee, he is the man with the knowledge to get the job done right. Ps, or just go see all the great gear they have ...

Good service. Nice place to get used equipment. Seemed to have lots of film technology stuff

Best camera store in Tuscon and arguably the best in the southwest. Lots of cameras to look at and choose from fair prices on everything. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I came in to look at a couple film cameras and had a great conversation about cameras and film. Definitely recommend to any novice or experienced photographer or someone interested in the art.

Just finished visiting Monument Camera and couldn’t be happier!! We were met with a friendly greeting upon entering the store and dealt with Lee who was patient and informative and a real pleasure to do business with..I personally would recommend Monument Camera...

If you are in the Tucson area and are looking to purchase any Cameras or Camera Accessories this is by far the best place in town. Owner is kind and gave me a very fair price on all the items I was selling. 10/10 without a shadow of a doubt.

This place is awesome. Coolest retro cameras and supplies. Quite the selection and excellent prices. Best customer service!!

Great service! Going back to buy more

I enjoy the knowledgeable service and advice as I work on and add to my photography hobby. There is soo much to see and a great diversity in the store that its always an enjoyable experience.

Very helpful with a camera settings issue!

Under Lees ownership, Monument camera is a Tucson photographers oasis. Friendly, knowledgeable and a wide range of products and services for your photographic needs. Shop local and support this amazing business!

Great service. Lots of used lenses, limited selection of used camera bodies. Plenty of accessories for every budget. If you need camera advice, this is the place to come to in Tucson.

The best service I have received in a very long time from anywhere. From start to finish I was helped along with my choice of lenses.

Real experts on photographic equipment

Impressive amount of camera equipment and gear. Youre sure to find what you need there.

Well stocked knowledgeable and they teach classes. Best Ive found in Tucson.

Super happy to see the camera shop under new management. They’ve remodeled the interior and added a ton of new and refurbished products. Looks super nice. If you’re looking for new or refurbished film camera lenses, bodies or accessories, check these guys out. They have a bunch of 35mm film cameras in stock, including a few Canon AE-1 Programs and a Pentax K1000. I noticed they had medium format cameras as well, but didn’t get a chance to see the model. They also have 35mm film (Ilford HP5, Kodak Portra, Kodak T-Max) and a ton of new tripods, hippy straps, bags and stands. I’m looking forward to the opening of their photography studio...

Seriously, what a fantastic camera store. So many fun products and an amazingly helpful staff. The guy helping us wasnt pushy at all and genuinely helped us digital nerds figure out some film savvy stuff with no condescending tones or pushy salesman behavior at all. We got a filter, reflector and light meter (that he even taught us how to use) all for a great price. Definitely recommend this place! A++

Hands down my favorite photography store in Tucson! Good selection of new, used, and vintage equipment. Lens, cameras, film, accessories...huge selection. By far my favorite thing about this store is the helpfulness and friendliness of the the staff. Always courteous with answering my questions regardless of how basic or technical. When I asked for advice for Polaroids/instant cameras for my daughter they gave me the best advice even though it led me to buy a product from another store. Always respect a merchant with integrity.

I went here because of the reviews. It was worth the drive from Catalina. Rick was more than helpful. I left feeling like he cared about the customer more than the sale. I did buy a wide angle lens and couldnt be happier! Thank-you Rick.

Great shore, Lee is the best

Guy who helped us was amazing. Definitely knew what he was talking about! Amazing customer service!!!

This shop is really helpful. I needed a battery charger and they had one that adapted to my battery. Overall is was a good place to do business.

I love local camera stores. You dont feel the pressure from a sales person to make a purchase. Also, its usually ran by people that have knowledge in the business. Granted, I have ordered most of my stuff from Amazon, because you dont pay Arizona taxes. I have, however, purchased several items from this place with 100% satisfaction.I just love their showcase of film cameras...takes me back to my childhood.

Great camera place

I dont go inside of the store . He help my daughter and her husband and camera. About in part about camera. I think people very nice in the store . What my daughter said.

Excellent customer service! They were very helpful, kind, and generous! Any problem youre having with your camera, they can fix it no problem! Highly recommend going here!

The store has their hours listed (10-6 wed-sat). I arrived at 4pm on Thursday, and the doors are locked and closed. This is the second time I have tried to spend money here locally, but they clearly don’t want my business as they arent actually open during their business hours.

Super friendly and knowledgeable!!!

Out of towner was looking for a great camera shop. AND I FOUND IT! GREAT QUALITY AND AMAZING INVENTORY. Bought two new cameras. Recommend it highly.

I found what I needed but the place felt cold and unfriendly... staff looked upon me like I was some shoplifter or something and also made my hair stand on my arms..staff just felt like they wanted me to leave so he could leave,, which of course he did..the guy asked the only customer he had to leave because he needed to leave which was sad because the store has a lot to offer unfortunately no people friendly skills

Ive been coming here since I found out about it early this year, Im a beginner in photography and the staff was able to show me what settings I needed my camera on for what I was doing, they had used lenses for micro photography I bought one, used color filters, which I bought some, they do know their stuff! Everytime Ive had a question or needed anything theyve been able to help me! I see the recent bad rating and I have to wonder if that person knows what theyre talking about? Because these guys definitely know what theyre doing, theres a reason theyve been in business for as long as they have! They know cameras, film and digital, they have hard to find items, new and used, make your own opinion of this place by going in and seeing them for your camera needs, because Walmart sure wont have the knowledge to help!

Little bit of everything for camera buffs

Had exactly what I needed at a great price. Nice friendly staff as well

Great place to visit for classic cameras and accessories!

AwfulRick is a fountain of knowledgeBUT Stacey is irresponsible and wont support uppirt their product line:(Zuma Light)

Excellent selection of new and used equipment. Fair prices, and only 1 of a couple photo supply places in town.

I went there to rent a camera(they dont rent them) and the place looked old like a junk store but it had everything related to cameras except actual cameras(lighting, reflectives, stands and probably more). Staff was horrible.

Very knowledgable & helpful staff, good vintage products, great price

Friendly, helpful service. Good selection of new and used cameras and accessories.

This place has horrible staff they do not know anything about cameras and needs to do an overhall in custimer service training plus they need to fix over 100 problems and that is from talking to the staff on the phone and trying to figure out there hours of opperation in wich there staff who refused to give me his name let alone show any king of custimer servise and many many other problems. I will never recomend this place to anyone and anyone who does should not be taken seriously, beause they are most likely employes of this place or paid to say encuraging things about it.

Knowledgeable staff, usually empty when I am there. Good prices, good inventory.

Came here on a Saturday and the store was not open. The posted hours on the door say 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. no signs or anything showing adjusted times. Call the store to see if there was a voicemail with our hours or saying that they would be closed, they dont even have one set up. I will not be coming back to Monument camera and will just buy my photography equipment offline, so much for supporting local business.

Good option for hard to find camera items.

Always has everything I need. Friendly and very knowledgable.

Rick is knowledgable and offers reasonable pricing

Worth a look.

Good prices, not a lot of stuff

Someone have a web lkink of this store?

Very racist!
