McBain Camera's new flagship location in Mayfield Square, Edmonton, is a modern and inviting space for photographers and camera enthusiasts. This bright store offers a comfortable shopping experience, a classroom/studio area, and a video editing space, along with easy access to photo equipment rentals and ample parking. Customers appreciate the knowledgeable and friendly staff, who provide excellent service and helpful advice. Many have had positive experiences, like finding better products at lower prices thanks to attentive salespeople. However, some customers wish for more competitive pricing on film and the return of 120mm developing services. The location also hosts events, such as presentations from renowned photographers, making it a vibrant hub for the local photographic community.
This place develops and scans Colour film faster than anywhere I've seen in town. The scans are top quality and under $20 if you don't get prints. This is my go to place now.

Wish they would be more competitive on film pricing. Cheaper to order 120mm film from US stores by 38% (thats after tax, duties, shipping etc have been add in). Hard to explain that gap. Also, start doing 120mm developing in Edmonton again. Be a camera store!

Bought my Leica Q3 here and came back to inquire about the Leica Q3 4/3. Staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and took the time to walk me through everything. Great experience.
