Popeye Camera Flagship Store

happy to find this shop selling traditional cameras and films! i miss the time we use real film to take picture, the "only one chance" feeling and the excitement of seeing the photos after they're developed! i think i would still be able to dig out my old old vintage camera at home so i bought a film roll here, wish to use it on my next trip (or for any daily photos!) hope you find the photos i took beautiful & useful ;) follow me on ig: food.n.cats.not1less

My go-to film camera store in Jiyugaoka. Good points: 1. Accessible from Jiyugaoka Station 2. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff 3. Good selection of camera bags and accessories Negative points: 1. Limited selection of film 2. Development time varies greatly (I’ve experienced 2 days to 2 weeks to get film developed). 3. Staff are friendly but as many work part-time, don’t feel experienced or knowledgeable. 4. Used cameras are very overpriced Overall good experience, but I could also recommend Osawa Camera in Ebisu as a decent alternative.

Best camera store in Jiyugaoka. They sell vintage analog cameras, polaroid cameras, the films and accessories (e.g. camera straps and bags).

Nice ambiance and vibe, friendly staff, absolutely criminal prices across the board. Avoid. * Used cameras: FE10 for 46,000 yen, a Natura Classica zoom for 150,000, a konica hexar for 135,000 - I mean, these are more than double the going rate at physical stores, and roughly triple if you're buying online. * Film stock: the film situation is even worse, these guys are charging at least 1,000 yen over market rate for portras, and dare to sell 24 exposure ultramax and gold for MORE than a regular store would sell a 36 exposure roll for. Dev/scan: their dev/scans are also criminally overpriced, and take a week to be processed and scanned at the lowest resolution. 3700*2500 px scans for 850+1600+150 yen, that's more than any other shop I have ever been in. Truly the definition of branding over substance, and the kind of store that ruins film photography for the rest of us. Skip this store and give literally any of the other awesome stores in the area a chance instead. Update 2024: I was in the area so I swung by. I found a "mystery new year bag" which includes three respooled 24 exposure almost expired disposable films for an absolutely out of this world 8800 yen. For reference, three rolls of 36 exposure professional Kodak Portra currently cost 7800 yen in Japan. I can't believe these thieves are still in business.

Such a cute little camera store with tonnes of friendly and helpful staff. This is the first place I ever developed film and they were happy to answer all my dumb questions. They are a small operation so the development times are pretty long if you are getting prints (reasonable of you are only developing). They have lots of cute Popeye Camera themed merch and a wide selection of film as well. Makes me wish I'd gotten into film sooner.

Can find everything related camara! Especially full of instax polaroid, film camera, and instant camera and its stuff. Plus helpful staffs.

The best camera store in Jiyugaoka! There are so many all kinds of cool products belong to camera including rare films and staffs are very friendly! I recently bought a film camera (FE2) and one of staff helped me a lot! I love my new film camera so much. I am looking forward to visiting again:) 自由が丘のカメラ屋さんと言ったらここですね とにかくスタッフがみんな親切!

Classic camera shop. As of this review, they still sell film. Have a good selection of camera straps and cases that are geared for classic style rather than the typical modern gear you'll see at the big box stores. Worth a visit if like classics or just haven't been able find the right accessories elsewhere.
