Unique Photo Services - Hoboken

I have shopped here for film, straps, batteries, for a myriad of vintage film cameras ranging from a Pentax 645N (Film) to a Leicaflex Standard Mk2 (Batteries and Film), and even a Zeiss Contarex Super (Film, Strap). I have dealt with Dan, Shannon, Ivania, and many others and have always been treated with the utmost in respect and kindness. In turn I love sharing what new cameras I have stumbled into, seeing works done by other photographers, and even trying out new films that they have in stock. The place is unpretentious, has great hours, and while it's hard to find (it's in the basement of an office building near the Hoboken PATH), it's no-frills, yet easy-to-work-with environment is very conducive to an expedient shopping experience. They even develop 35mm and 120 film at great costs, with consistently great results. The only caveat I have is that the Hoboken "annex" only takes credit cards, but otherwise it's a FANTASTIC place to shop for film, batteries, and other camera needs. Jason

I needed 4x5 slide film. I ordered the 4x5 slide film Wednesday night, I put it down for two day air shipping. They sent it out at the end of the day Thursday. Now the film is getting there Monday paying 25 dollars extra for two day air shipping was pointless. I could’ve left it at free shipping and would’ve gotten it Monday as well. Thanks for nothing, the film isn’t making it on time.

I've been able to accomplish so much more in my videography career because of this specific Unique Photo location. If I need to rent anything, I can reserve it online and then swing through Hoboken on my way into the city and grab whatever I need, from camera bodies, to wireless lav mics, to lenses. The rental prices are top notch - way better than comparable locations in NYC. I just had a sensor cleaning done on my GH5. My camera had 5-6 dark spots due to dust, and I was in a panic. I called them up and ran over in the morning. It was a rush job, done in around 90 minutes. This saved my ASS. Instead of losing a day of shooting, I was able to get everything done and keep my client happy. Without Unique Photo I would not have been able to get as far as I have in my career.

This is the second time I've tried to make it happen with this place but yet again their unprofessinalism has turned me away. I called this morning to see if the Hoboken location had a basic pure white 4ft roll of seamless, the kid on the phone said there would be plenty and to just go and pick it up. I asked him to make sure and to possibly put it on hold, he said I'll let someone know, don't worry it'll be there. I drove out of my way to go there because most places in NYC are closed on Saturdays. Upon entering the people working in the Hoboken location played dumb and didn't know how to respond or accommodate me, or even sympathize that their call center is being ran by an uneducated teenanger. I called back to speak to a manager and it happened to be the guy in Hoboken who was useless and couldn't give me an answer as to why they would tell me to go there confirming the product was there. This place is a joke ran by a bunch of "photographers" who can't have a real career so they work in a camera store. Shop on Amazon or shop at the big boys in NYC. Steer clear of this place.
