Wellington Photographic Supplies

John and the Team at Wellington Photographic Supplies restoration skills are Amazing, they brought many of our very old and damaged special Family photos back to life, even recreating our Grandmother's face in a treasured photo. Photos now since being restored, will be able to stand the test of time.

In Wellington from the UK with friends, one of whom had forgotten their battery charger for an important event. Recommended to go here by a local professional photographer as “they have everything” - which indeed they appear to do! Huge shop with extensive stock.

Great professional service - sorted out in no time! Not the friendliest customer service but got the job done.

The level of customer service and education I received during my visit to this shop is unlike anything I have ever experienced.

Fantastic shopping experience. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend anyone to visit.

One of the best retail experiences I've had in recent memory. The guy that served me was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to help me figure out what I wanted after being out of the photography game for a few years.

UPDATE: knocked stars off because I came here at 5: 55 to pick up film, and the doors were locked at the guy inside saw me but flat out ignored me. So hit and miss, I guess

Excellent customer service from the people I have dealt with recently, the younger guy is really helpful without being condescending. The scan and print service is high quality also. There is also parking down the back of the building for a couple of cars and a rear entrance.

Great cheap repairs. Great range of canera products and friendly staff from another time when we were not so frenetic.

Amazingly knowledable and helpful chaps in there, went in with an old film camera and with their help got her working and had my negatives developed within the day at a reasonable price. My thanks

I dropped my camera with a heavy lens. The mount was very bend and my heart pretty broken. WPS Wellington fixed my camera and lens and I am feeling much better now. The price wasn't as high as I had feared. Happy ending story. Great professionals at WPS, 100% recommended.

This is the best bet of you getting a camera lens, tripod, batteries, any other accessories or gear for your kit! And the third part of the inventory doesn't update very quickly.

I did try to pick up a rode mic from them however it was out of stock and wasn't going to be back for a month!
They don't have most of GoPro stuff but will do have the popular camera gimbals and other camera gear stuff.check them out or better give them a call before you actually go to the shop and check if they are holding an inventory for what you're looking for!

Experienced staff, always willing to help. Not much by way of stock these days which is understandable in the days of online.

The people in the store are nice
Service was prompt, sizeable job completed next day for me as I was heading out of town.
But
Scans are all upside down
Like.
Come on guys that's pretty frustrating. I want to post these online and I have to manually rotate each image before I can even look at them properly and decide which ones I want to showcase, and with a number of rolls to go through I'm sure you can appreciate how time consuming that is.
Also the scans are significantly lower quality than the scans I usually get for a cheaper price in Sydney, and that's with the "standard" option
Considering I paid a lot of money for this I wish I had've waited until I was back in Sydney to receive a superior product

If you want expert advice then this is the place to go and buy a camera and accessorys. This is our experience, we were considering buying A Canon 800 or 80 and priced them at the two main nation wide retailers. The 800 was on special in the twin pack. We then went to Wellington Photography and were surprised that on price alone they were cheaper. I was drawn to the Canon 80 but asked about the new mirrorless cameras out, the guy serving me I am reluctant to call a salesman but an expert enthusiast who pointed me to a camera he owned himself. That he felt was equal to the Canon 80. I was immediately taken by the design and function and bought it. Without his guidence knowledge and genuine desire to sell me the best in my price range I could have purchased a large bulky Camera that was more expensive, about $800 that performs no better than the Fuji XT-100. So far we are still getting used to the ergonomics and performance of the camera.
