“I discovered Calumet through a friend who suggested that I should go and have a look at the shop. I went up for a look and a chat to the assistants. The guy I spoke too couldn't have been more helpful and at no point did he pressurise to buy anything. On this occasion I was only looking and trying to make up my mind. On the second visit I was on a mission to get myself the camera I had checked out and the experience was excellent. Good advice, a great opportunity to see and hold the camera and a very pleasant assistant who dealt with me. I would certainly go here for any photo equipment in future, as I probably shall!!”

“I was looking online to purchase a new tripod, after reading lots of reviews I still wasn't sure exactly what brand I wanted. the best tripods I had used previously were the Calumet 7300 at the college I attend, I wanted something similar to that but a little lighter. I logged on to the Calumet site and within seconds a window popped up asking if I wanted to chat, I clicked the link and wrote a brief message, within seconds Sean replied to me asking how he could help. I explained .. again very briefly what I was looking for and he quickly sent me a link to a tripod, It was the Calumet 7300 which I had used at college. I told him that I needed something that would give me lower angles. he replied with "how about this ?" the Manfrotto MT190XTPRO .. It was exactly what I had been looking for . and it was £20-30 cheaper that most other places I searched for the same model. I'll definitely be buying from Calumet again top class service”

“Things have changed a lot in the last couple of years when I was asked to fill out one of these and I told the truth. It was followed up with a phone call and things started to change. I received a great amount of help and enthusiasm with regards to my Russian Fuji XE2 drama from the Manchester office and I've just had another good experience in both London and Manchester with remote flash problems solved with a friendly wink when my battery charge problems vanished in embarrassment when shown how to put the battery in properly! So no longer does one need to be an attractive Scandinavian student with no intention of spending any money to get good service and attention. It's win win for the late 40's photographer as the only people who truly understand are the staff at Calumet”

I used the chat app to find out important information about lens compatibility My answer was replied to instantly which gave me the confidence to go ahead and purchase my products.

“Calumet are to be commended for maintaining stores and showrooms in this age of Internet purchasing. They are staffed with really knowledgeable people who understand photographers' needs. Despite the costs of this they manage to be competitive on pricing especially if you look out for their offers. I can also recommend their own brand gear which is well made and often cheaper.”

“Great help from an enthusiastic and knowledgeable team at Calumet Manchester. Dealt with a young lady (who's name I didn't catch), during my purchase, and she was helpful, had great product knowledge, and gave me a great deal. Very pleased. Will be back for future purchases.”

“I started purchasing my photo equipment quite a while ago. Before Calumet I explored various other outlets and web sites. I even went to websites like Simply Electronics and Digital Rev, attracted mostly by their pricing. In dealing with these I have generally had really bad experiences. Eventually I went to Calumet and since my first purchase there I never used any other supplier. At Calumet I get competitive pricing, great choice and superb advice. I usually go to Drummond Street store in London where staff is truly professional, knowledgeable and helpful. I sincerely recommend a visit if anything just to browse this great store.”

“I ordered a Canon EF 35mm f2 IS USM and a Manfrotto tripod on the saturday (30/08) of the most recent bank holiday monday (for pick up at london wardour street branch). Both items were displayed as "in stock" when i As I didn't receive a dispatch notification by wednesday, I called the customer service. I was told that the tripod was already ready for collection but the lens, which was on back-order, would be available in 7-10 days time. I was told I would be emailed once the lens becomes available/in stock. As I live locally, I visited the wardour street branch and asked for their ETA (stock-wise). This was”
