Looking Glass Photographic Outfitters

Here in Berkeley, Looking Glass Photo is where gear, guidance, and community come together—since 1971. We’re a boutique-style camera shop that outfits photographers with exactly what they need and nothing they don’t. That means real conversations, hands-on help, and curated solutions across top brands like Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony and more. We carry new gear, offer a thoughtful selection of preowned and consignment cameras and lenses, and place special orders when the perfect fit isn’t on the shelf. Learning is at the heart of what we do. Join our small-group classes and workshops, sign up for photo adventures in the wild (from tide pools to elk rut season), or dig into image reviews and practical technique sessions. Our Rentals program makes it easy to test drive the latest bodies, lenses, lighting and accessories—perfect for a weekend project or a big assignment—while our “Try Before You Buy” and paid Gear Outfitting service help you make confident choices. What makes us unique? Personalized coaching before and after a purchase, community-driven events (including our Photo Friends network), and a values-driven approach that puts longevity and stewardship first. We stand behind the gear we sell, keep darkroom and printing essentials flowing, and cheer on your growth every step of the way. Whether you’re brand-new to photography or a seasoned pro, Looking Glass is your trusted partner for classes, adventures, rentals, consignment and used gear, and a welcoming community that lifts each other up.

El Cerrito Patch welcomes letters from readers of up to 300 words. Send them to charles@patch.com. Find out more here.﻿ To the Editor: As a private citizen, I have worked with the City of El Cerrito for over 20 years and although not a perfect bureaucracy, I have found them efficient and responsive, especially when compared to other local cities.  They have also husbanded tax and other revenue carefully, all the while providing important services which have made El Cerrito a city in which people love to live. The ½ cent sales tax is miniscule compared to the benefits it will provide.  If someone spends $1,000 it will only increase their spending by $5, truly a small price to pay for continued health, safety and recreational services. Please don't be scared off by the No on R campaign charges and Vote Yes on R. — Ron Egherman, El Cerrito﻿

Letter from Ron Egherman, who argues that El Cerrito city staff have proven to be capable fiscal managers who can be entrusted with the proposed half-cent boost in the city's sale tax.
