There are many folks that would love to have a photo place of this nature close to home. My choice for many years was a choice between running 1 hour to Service or dealing with a more local place that had a lot less to offer. In 27 years as a pro I have seen places come and go. Service Photo on good days is full of dedicated customers & usually there is a reason for that. I have had pleasant converstaions and heated anti digital photography discussions there, hey but thats the beauty of such a place, be grown up and realize a business is a buisness and it has to stay in business. In quite few instances Service has meet similar pricing to the big New York dealers. I would not hesitate to venture there if I was starting out again in my Photo career. I know they will continue to be my supplier for the important photo stuff I need.
