Where the concierge points people first
- Ars - Imago International — A Rome company built around analogue photography — developing tanks, chemistry, film. The first stop if you are shooting film and have run out, or want to develop it yourself. (41.9096, 12.4603)
- Camera Service Roma — A repairer, as the name says. The place to try when a lens has stopped focusing halfway through a trip and you would rather not fly home with a dead body. (41.8530, 12.4977)
- Assistance Nikon Rome — Nikon-specific service. Worth ringing ahead to ask whether they can turn a job round before you leave; warranty work usually takes longer than a holiday. (41.9126, 12.4493)
- Leica Store Roma — The brand's own shop. Somewhere to look, try and buy, and for Leica owners the obvious place to ask about servicing. (41.9041, 12.4838)
- Guido Sabatini Photo Supplies — Photographic supplies rather than a camera boutique — the sort of shop that stocks paper, chemistry and the small things a working photographer runs out of. (41.9087, 12.4614)

Your film and the scanner at Fiumicino
If you are carrying film, keep it in your hand luggage and ask for a hand inspection at security. Checked-bag scanners are strong enough to fog it, and more European airports, Rome's included, are moving to CT scanners at the cabin checkpoint that are harder on film than the old machines. A hand check is at the officers' discretion, so keep rolls out of their boxes in a clear bag to make it quick. Separately, do not be surprised that several names here are opticians: in Italy the ottica e foto shop, glasses on one side and cameras on the other, was once the norm.
