Walch Optics

Had my Fuji XT-4 sensor cleaned here. Can't rate them highly enough. Friendly, fast, and reasonable rates.

Always friendly and helpful. I live in Sydney but travel to Tasmania often, and its great to find a place where you can buy 120 film, camera supplies and get your camera checked out.

Super friendly people, took the time out of their day to show me how they process their film etc and the equipment they use, although film prices are starting to get a bit too high.

Can't say enough good things! Simon has helped me out with a few camera emergencies for work and has gone out of his way to get the best result. Highly recommend Walch Optics for professionals and enthusiasts.

Nice people with a lot of experience... a lot of experience. The 1 star is for unapologetically not maintaining the estimated schedule (not actually starting) and pocketing the deposit. I was told it would take 1 week to disassemble/clean my lens aswell as dismantle/assess the condition of my camera body. Unfortunately after calling a couple of times for an update I was informed they had not looked at it after 2 weeks and said they couldn't even look at it after the 3rd. I had to cancel the job given my schedule. If you're like me and time is critical, you're better off getting estimated time frames directly from the technician and planning around that.

Top business....I was after some unusual lighting for some articles to be placed online. Was greeted professionally and quickly handed over to the person in the business with the best knowledge to answer my questions. They had the lighting setup required in stock (unlike the other businesses I'd just visited who could order in but could not offer any sort of return policy) so I was able to test and confirm it would do the job. The price was fair and comparable with online prices but the extra knowledge and customer support was the thing that got the sale! Highly recommend!

Walch Optics is a well established business with decades of experience and a rock-solid reputation. It's the place to go in Hobart if you want top-end (prosumer/professional) photographic equipment and advice. Their prices are comparable to those online, the extra justified by knowing that if equipment goes wrong they will honour the warranty. They also buy and sell second-hand high-end photographic gear at reasonable prices.

We had a very pleasant experience with Francis who was super knowledgeable and friendly. I feel confident my films are with the right people, and my partner feels the same with his more unusual cine film.

Good for camera repairs, and second hand cameras... service is great really helpful..this is my favourite camera shop in Hobart.

Expert service and advise for all of your photography needs. Competitive prices. This is where the professionals shop and have their gear cleaned and serviced.
