This placed helped me out so much!! Although they didn't have the exact lens I was looking for. I was shocked when Todd helped me still and pulled out every lens that could possibly be close to the one I was looking for in all different price ranges. He pulled out about 10 different lens for me to try. I ended up going with a Zeiss lens and I'm so thankful!! I will be supporting this store.

Great customer experience. Traded an old lens in for a fair price and got a better lens for my needs. Very happy.

Great customer service, support with the camera. They also still do real film, and have a dark room for camera enthusiasts that want to do their own exposures.

I've been here about 3 times, and every time, I'm greeted and helped promptly by the staff who is 100% always going to do their best to get you what you need. I rented a lens and it was a very good experience. If you want information on any camera or accessories, they are so knowledgeable and all-around great to work with.

There isn’t a reason this place shouldn’t have 5 stars. I take all my film here, get it processed, it gets sent to me. It’s a very simple and quick process. Their pricing is great and makes me want to continue to shoot film. I buy most of my rolls here.. really there is nothing I can say that’s negative. The workers are extremely kind and they know what they’re talking about. I came in and had to wait a bit because someone in line was having questions about ordering prints… the worker was patient and kind and gave his input. I think it’s great that he was respectful and knowledgeable about his business and towards customers. I see a lot of people at other places have attitudes.. this place is different. You get treated extremely well here. I always have a great experience and will continue to use them and recommend them to everyone. If you have any questions, ask! They know what they’re talking about!

Spartan Photo is FANTASTIC!!! I highly recommend them for all needs. I have had enlargements, signs, programs and photo prints done and everything turned out top notch! The staff is excellent to work with and their turn around time is amazing. I cannot say enough good things about this place of business!

Kudos to Ed and Spartan Photo Center on my purchase of replacement feet for my Manfrotto tripod. They had the best price and the had them in stock and shipped them within a day. I will definitely buy from them again.

This people are so unprofessional and all over the place. 1 person says one things, u call an hour later the other person has no clue of what is going on the kept my camera for 3 weeks and service was supposed to take 2 days for pickup up I brought my usb drive purchased at Walmart for 7 bucks they wanted to charge me 25 bucks for the same thing. I went to pick up my camera and they had no clue where my device was. Never going there again.

Not sure what I would have done without Spartan Photo Center. I was a professional photographer for 50 years, lugging around a heavy camera bag and tripod on each assignment. Now, semi-retired at the age of 78, I was looking for a light-weight upgrade from the compact, consumer-level digital cameras and smart phones I’d been using in my personal work since joining the digital revolution 11 years ago.Unlike the good old film days, there are now an overwhelming number of brands and models to choose from. The challenge I faced was finding a brick-and-mortar store where I could hold an actual camera in my hands, and talk with a knowledgeable salesperson familiar with the marketplace. Such establishments are few and far between today, and the big box stores with their limited selections, display cameras that hardly ever work, and inexperienced sales help, don’t quite cut it. For me, online shopping, while great for research, was a non-starter.That the Spartan Photo Center is thriving in a relatively small market while so many other camera stores have gone out of business tells you something about their expertise, services, and product line. Except for Panasonic, it offers a wide range of new and used equipment, while catering to professionals as well as amateurs. Every Nikon, Canon, Sony, Fuji, and Olympus camera I was considering was on hand for me to look at. I ended up buying the Olympus OM-D EM-1 Mark III camera body and M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-100mm f/4 IS PRO lens, both of which met my needs and specs. Cost was competitive with B&H and Amazon.Special thanks to Brandon who very patiently showed me one camera after another over the course of two different visits, answered all my questions, and eventually came up with the Olympus option when I was about to go home empty-handed. I’m so grateful that SPC exists as the photography place to go in upstate South Carolina. I just wish it would open a branch in Clemson! ☺

As a film photographer, I couldn’t recommend this place more! The staff is BEYOND knowledgeable and has helped me grow in my understanding of photography and it’s history. Their film processing is always on time, sharp, and perfectly balanced. Thank God for these people. Thank you especially to Betsy, George, and Mike!

I cannot recommend Spartan Photo enough for all of your film needs!! They are an honest and considerate family-owned business and they do AMAZING work with developed 35mm film. I will continue to choose them every time!

Terrible customer service and awful process for printing. Some how lost my photos because they don't keep track of who's photos are who's. Sent me other people's photos (twice) without their consent because they don't track what photos belong to which client. After two hours of searching they managed to find seven of the 48 exposures turned in.This is the second time I've received prints that were poorly exposed and I have received negatives that were not printed even when charged for 24 exposures. Never had an issue with film at other darkrooms.

A wonderful store with all the photography related equipment and accessories you could want. My husband and I went to get ourselves new cameras and lenses, and they had exactly what we wanted and even some used lenses, too. Darian was the one who helped us, and he was professional and personable and helped us get exactly what we needed. We will definitely be back!
