Hi Brandon,
Thanks so much for your patience and for the kind words 🙏
We know the shipping wait can feel long sometimes, so we really appreciate your understanding. That said, we’re so glad to hear the lens was worth the wait and that you’re loving it 😊
Hope it brings you tons of nostalgic, dreamy shots ahead.
All the best,

I love the products
I love the products. The Retropia Lens was unique and fun to use. I especially liked it for still-life and environmental shots. It has a throwback look, like I’m using my Nikon FT2 from 1977. Joy. I also purchased the Optical Waist Level Viewfinder. It is a neat little accessory, one that will work very well with my Leica D-Lux Typ 109 for street work. But it will work with any of my cameras, it just needs a subject...

Hi L.J.,
Wow—this was such a joy to read. Thank you 💛
The way you described the Retropia Lens is exactly the feeling we hoped to capture when creating it—that imperfect, nostalgic charm that reminds you why photography felt magical in the first place. Hearing it brought back memories of shooting with your Nikon FT2 honestly means the world to us.
And pairing the Optical Waist-Level Viewfinder with the Leica D-Lux Typ 109 for street work sounds like an absolute dream setup 📸✨ We love that you’re finding creative ways to integrate it into your workflow across different cameras.
Thank you again for the thoughtful words and support. Wishing you many beautiful frames ahead.
Warmly,
Retropia Team

See my other reviews... Continued issues returning with no response
See my other reviews... MAJOR buyers remorse due to their complicated and corrupt return policy. Retropia responded to my posts asking me to please email them my order number so they could address it quickly. I DID - TWICE - and got no reply. I sent my items to the address the provided (IN GERMANY) for the return - and they were originally marked as delivered but then found out they were returned to sender for a bad address. It was the address THEY GAVE ME. So now, I'm out $100+ and they completely refuse to respond to my emails.
I'm sure they'll respond to this post saying to "please contact them" - which I will, and to which I'm very confident they will have no answer.
This is such a SCAM with HORRIBLE customer service. They want your money and then they are gone.

Hi Rebecca,
We’re very sorry for the experience you’ve had and completely understand why you’re upset. This is clearly not the level of communication or support we want anyone to experience.
Please reply to our latest request with your return tracking details and current contact information so we can investigate this properly and assist you directly. I’ll personally be reviewing your case with the team to make sure it’s handled correctly from here.
Again, we sincerely apologize for the frustration and lack of communication you’ve experienced.

Retropia customer service is AWESOME
Retropia is amazing. I ordered the wrong lens, oops. They replaced it with the correct one with no hassle and extremely quickly. I’d recommend them to anyone.

Overall pleased with purchase
Delivery was fairly quick. The lens itself (read: the images captured with the lens) is slightly different than what I was expecting but not in a bad way, just a different way. I wish it had a focusing option on the lens but the results truly do look like a disposable film camera. Overall happy with my purchase from retropia. Thank you!

Hi Valerie,
Thank you for such a thoughtful review—we really appreciate you taking the time 💛
You described the lens perfectly—it’s definitely a bit different, and that’s part of its charm. That slightly unexpected, lo-fi look is what gives it that authentic disposable film feel. Totally hear you on the focus though—that’s one of the trade-offs for keeping the lens simple, lightweight, and true to that nostalgic point-and-shoot style.
We’re really glad to hear you’re enjoying the results overall 😊 If you ever want tips on getting even more out of it (or pairing it with presets for that full film vibe), we’ve got you.
All the best,

The Retropia repurposed Disposable film camera lens was great, however did not like the 3rd party shipping options from China. Taking almost 2 weeks to arrive.

We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying the Retropia lens itself—that means a lot. Totally understand your concern about the shipping time as well. Since we ship internationally, delivery can sometimes take a bit longer than expected, especially depending on location and customs processing.
That said, we’re always working on improving this experience and making delivery faster and smoother wherever possible.

Hi Luna, thank you for sharing this.
I’m really glad the whole experience from ordering to delivery was smooth, and even better to hear you’ve been using the lens nonstop since it arrived. That’s exactly what we love to hear.
If you’re open to it, feel free to share your order number or the email used for your purchase. I’d love to check your conversation and pass your feedback along to the team member who assisted you.
We appreciate the support.
Responsive and helpful customer service
I did not receive the correct product, but Mark handled the situation very well. Their team was responsive and clearly explained my options, including a replacement. Since I was about to travel out of the country, I could not wait for another shipment, so they processed my issue quickly and professionally.
Even though the order had a mix-up, they acknowledged it immediately and did not avoid responsibility. Mark was very helpful throughout, and the refund was handled without trouble.
This 5-star review is for the customer service. Because of how they handled the situation, I would consider ordering from them again in the future.
