I dropped my camera (fell off of a loose strap). My heart raced and thought that my NYC trip was in a jeopardy. Turned out the filter did its (secondary) job and protected the glass. However, it was bent enough and I couldn't muscle it out of the lens.

I searched around and found Foto Care. I cal...

The store for the professional photographer. Laid back non sales driven atmosphere. All the best gear with all the bells and whistles. They will help you out if your just starting out , but this place is more geared for the pros that know what they want. I also like the fact that they refrigerate t...

I don t know why anyone would ever buy film from FotoCare. Recently went in to purchase 4x5 film in January. Kodak raised their prices per box on Kodak Portra 400 speed film on Jan 1 from $49.99 to roughly $54. FotoCare is charging $70/box which is a shameless up charge. Not to mention the box I loo...

If you need a pro store or just someone with a well funded option on anything photography and lighting related this is the place. And pricing is the same than the big box retailers that often know nothing about the products they sell. Also, the most variety in rental photo and lighting equipment.

When all you want or need is a light wieght version of BH this is a great spot. The used camera dept has a nice selection for top dollar. Carry a good selection of film stocks. A good selection of pretty much everything photography related. Staff is fine.

I've been going to Fotocare Rentals (on-and-off) for years. Fred (the manager) and the staff are friendly and know their equipment. Sometimes I need to rent from other rental houses and when I do I'm reminded that the service at Fotocare is really top notch...

This is a pretty small camera store - they don't have a lot of stock, but they cover a pretty wide gamut. Also, they have a reasonable amount of stuff that you can actually pick up and touch. Unlike Adorama (around the corner) where you have to get someone to go get something for you to look at.

I came in at my wits end with a flash I had rented from a different rental house (who had already closed) for a wedding the same day. Anthony and Manny sat with me trying to figure it out for upwards of 15 minutes, and we tried everything and finally settled on it being a hardware malfunction. The ...

LOVE this place. I strolled in here one day when I was early for a client lunch across the street. I had been looking for a Leica Q for the past 4 months. Nobody (B&H, Adorama, etc) had them in stock yet.

I asked the very polite gentleman behind the counter if he had one, expecting him to say no....

Lens was great. Customer service, meh. You walk in and all the employees are in their own world. No 'I'll be with you in a moment' or any indication that you exist. No one looks up.

However, once they talk to you they are helpful and friendly and give great advice.

Foto Care rentals and the store in the adjacent building offer some top quality gear for serious photographers. Probably the store with the most complete display of Broncolor studio lights in the NYC area. Even more important is the knowledgeable staff.

Prices are similar to the bigger photo stores in the area, but what sets Foto Care apart is the great customer service. Knowledgable and friendly staff makes deciding to shop here a no-brainer. Also, their rental studio is top-notch. Customer service just as good as their store and a great selection...
