At Film Camera Store, we’re passionate about keeping analog photography alive. Founded by film photography enthusiasts, our mission is simple: to provide high-quality vintage film cameras, film stocks, and accessories to photographers of all levels—whether you're just loading your first roll or you’re a seasoned shooter looking for your next classic find.
What started as a personal love for 35mm photography has grown into one of the UK’s most trusted sources for pre-owned and professionally refurbished film cameras. Tired of overpaying for unreliable gear, we decided to build a store where authenticity, quality, and service come first.
Film Camera Store was the first major second-hand film camera reseller to focus exclusively on online retail, offering an extensive, ever-changing selection of film cameras that were professionally cleaned, tested, and guaranteed. We saw the growing demand for reliable vintage gear—especially from a new generation of photographers—and stepped in to make film photography more accessible, transparent, and affordable.
What set us apart early on was our commitment to clarity and confidence. We wanted every customer, whether they were buying their first Canon AE-1 or upgrading to a medium format Mamiya, to know exactly what they were getting. No vague listings, no guesswork—just quality cameras backed by real support.
Over the years, we’ve helped tens of thousands of photographers—from students and artists to professionals and collectors—find the right gear to suit their creative goals. Our team is built from people who actually shoot film and understand what makes a camera special, dependable, and fun to use.
Today, we remain proudly independent, and just as passionate about film as ever. Whether you're rediscovering analog or shooting your very first roll, we're here to support your journey, one frame at a time.
We’re not just here to sell cameras—we’re here to support your journey into film photography. Whether you're picking up a camera for the first time or building a serious collection, our team is ready to help you shoot, learn, and grow.
Join thousands of photographers around the world who believe in the timeless beauty of analog.
