About Us

Celebrating 30 years!

Humble Beginnings

In 1982 Seattle, David & Claudia Slotboom started a modest, one-man camera repair business out of a tiny, downtown office.  Six years and two location changes later, Optechs Camera Supply expanded into a full-line photography store encompassing 6,000 square feet of retail space.  Selling everything from quality cameras and lighting to printers and background paper and everything in between!

Vision

The year was 1994, and their youngest son, Paul Slotboom, recognized that digital photography was not merely a passing fad, but the wave of the future.  Optechs was the very first professional-camera retailer in the Seattle area to fully embrace and support professional-digital-photography.  The very first.  
Thanks to Paul's vision and hard work, Optechs eventually evolved into a boutique business catering to a niche professional-digital market.

Final Metamorphosis

It's been 30 years since David & Claudia first opened their doors.  Now run by Paul and his wife, Sandy, Optechs Digital is a premier destination for professional photographers and enthusiasts worldwide. For those seeking the finest digital products available, and customer service with a personal touch, we invite you to experience the Optechs advantage.
