Canon AE-1

We started Brooklyn Film Camera to take the guesswork out of buying a film camera. Most shops give you a wipe-down and, at best, replace the light seals — that isn't enough. Decades-old mechanical cameras need real work to shoot like they did the day they left the factory.

Every camera we sell passes through our in-house technicians. We adjust shutter speeds back to factory spec, modify circuitry when the original components have aged out, replace parts when needed, and bench-test every function before anything ships. Years of research and development go into the process, and we keep refining it.

You're not gambling on whether the camera works. You're getting a tool brought back to pristine condition by people who've spent careers learning how.

Our Process

Hand-restored in Brooklyn

Each camera goes through four checkpoints before it ships.

  • 01Mechanical inspection & calibration

  • 03Lens & optics serviced

You have to be tired of the sterility of digital by now. The Expired Film Club is a fun way to try out older stocks and put some unpredictability into your life and art. You never know what you're going to get. Occasionally, you'll get a new, current stock that's hard to get. When Kodak relaunched a few months ago, BFC included one of them. It was hard to get at the time. It was awesome! The Expired Film Club is a perfect way to let go of digital perfectionism.

Great as alway!

Got this as a birthday present for my partner, captured the most beautiful and vibrant pictures from our recent vacation in Zipolite! Had no idea which camera to get and the attendant at the shop was very knowledgable and showed me plenty of options and pros/cons to each model. Thank you x1,000,000 times over!

Minolta Freedom Zoom

I had a great experience at the store! I actually went into the store looking just to pick up some film, but saw the Olympus bought it and very very happy with it. It's a perfect little point and shoot! I received great service at the store as well!

Olympus Stylus MJU

BFC is a great shop. The Film Developing Membership is a fantastic way to have your processing ready to go. Pick up a prepaid mailing label. When you're done shooting, drop your film in the mail from wherever you are, and it's done lickety split! Perfect when you're traveling or just walking around.

Film Developing Membership

Easy on line ordering. Prompt shipping. Thank you.

Very satisfactory service. Thank you.

Great camera, great staff, works perfectly. I have bought a similar camera off of eBay before, but the colors came out so dull. The colors from my cam are so bright and clean. I now believe the added inspections at Brooklyn film camera prevent you from making a bad purchase online. Thank you!!

fast shipping thank you!

Polaroid i-Type :: Color Film

Just started using my new Minolta Hi Matic AF2 35mm point & shoot camera. I’ve been enjoying the experience of thinking carefully before taking a shot, unlike the digital process where many times I’m simply over shooting a subject. The camera size is perfect for street photography !!!

Kodak Portra 400 Color

great stuff!

Kodak Portra 400 Color

Great honor to shoot rare classic films that are long discontinued and to turn what would otherwise go to waste into art. I got some cool funky effects though some expired films aren’t funky. I can’t change the subscription online though; I would always get an error.
