It all started with a little camera shop in Brooklyn. Founded by Abe Berkowitz in 1966, Focus has faithfully served the New York City Metropolitan Area for over half a century. In that time, we’ve built a tight knit community of photographers, videographers, musicians, and other creators passionate about reaching their goals.
Today we have two retail store locations, hundreds of employees, and millions of customers from around the world, whom we reach through our award-winning website. However, our mission remains the same: to help creators find the gear they need to realize their vision.
Focus is excited to be included in Newsweek’s annual list of the Best Online Shops for the fourth consecutive year. We are thrilled to be recognized for our efforts to provide a pleasant online shopping experience, and we’re grateful to the staff, vendors, and customers that make it possible.
“A lot has changed since I started working at Focus over twenty years ago, but the important things haven’t: we still stock the latest gear, the staff feel like family, and we strive to do everything we can to help creators. While today our customers come from around the world, we’re still a small neighborhood camera shop at heart. Come visit us in Brooklyn or Lakewood and see for yourself!” Visit Website
