Couple of very small items, delivered by post over the Christmas period. Arrived more or less when expected.

The knowledge of the staff cannot be faulted. They are always very welcoming and happy to spend time explaining or demonstrating products.

Recently, I used mail order to buy a roll of film from Calumet. It arrived in a timely manner in good condition. Prior to this, I bought from them a Fuji S5 and promptly lost a small fitting. Thinking that there had been a point in not buying from a box shifter, I sought assistance at the store from where I had purchased the camera. I was told that they were unable to help. So, I approached the importers who directed me to the Fuji website and I simply ordered the part which arrived promptly. Also, I used a credit card to buy a place on a Calumet lecture. The lecture was cancelled. I had to ask for my refund and when I checked my credit card statement, I found that I had been short changed by an amount that I assume was a service charge for using a credit card. The matter was not pursued. Unless there is a compelling reason to use Calumet, I keep on walking. Nick Wilkinson Tivium@hotmail.com

On entering the Birmingham store I was greeted with a smile & hello. They was very helpful in finding the right equipment I wanted & had all the information I needed about other products I was looking in too.

Calumet provided a highly efficient service, sourcing a rare special order item for me just at the close of the year and contacting me by phone when it was ready for collection. A totally professional, friendly and reliable service by people who know their subject.

The essential difference between buying from one camera store or another is service. Calumet know their product. They also care about your experience as a customer. Getting such matters right is, these days, what matters to me when I am busy and need to make a buying decision. Recent purchases of Nikon equipment were comfortable experiences thanks to Calumet Wardour Street staff.

I had cause to buy a lens from your Birmingham store in November , unfortunately what I wanted was out of stock so I was about to leave . Enter one very helpful member of your staff , sorry I forget his name ,who took me over to a selection of second hand lenses . I found much better than I needed at a fantastic price . So after trying this lens on a body , the same as mine, and virtually being left to my own devices to try it out to my hearts content a deal was struck . You can thank the quality of the salesman for this as I spent maybe £350 more than I was intending ! I am currently looking at your Bowens lighting kits and once I have made my mind up I will be visiting again . Buy Online ? Yes I could but your staff make things so pleasant . Thanks again Shane lewis

I have used Calumet over the last five years when purchasing any camera gear that I wish to use. The staff are extremely good and most helpful, they do not in any way put pressure on the customer to make a purchase as is the style in many other places. They will suggest certain items that may enhance the product and give very good advice if you ask specific questions. I certainly would NOT consider going elsewhere as far as photo gear is considered

The main reason for making my purchases at Calumet is the advice I get form the staff, they are photographers themselves and not shop assistants. Anything not in stock can be obtained fairly quickly. Price too is important, try to keep it down ;-)

I bought the Calumet Rolling case for all my gear. I wanted something that would take a GH3, lenses, audio mixer, mice and cables. Everything fits in very snug. Great case, looks super strong for my needs. Calumet gave a great service online and the item arrived in day or two after the order. Very pleased.

Always professional and polite. They understand my needs and if I need to replace something it's never been a problem!

I only went to you because otherwise I'd have had to go through to Glasgow - AND the 'clean' wasn't successful, ruining the shots I took next. Sure-enough you did it again but I really rather expected you to have done it properly in the first place.

Great shop and service. Like the fact I don't get hassled. Like the range of gear. Some great prices too. Highly recommended.
