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.

Sincerely appreciate Adrian taking an enquiry early evening after published closing times and handling call till purchase had been made. It was for a client who required a camera for his son's birthday the next day, hence the urgency.

I've been a Calumet customer for a number of years buying everything from cameras and lenses to paper and consumables to my latest purchase, a calumet branded monopod, CK7108 and tilt head. Service was as usual, prompt and received the 'pod within 48 hours of ordering. It was well packaged and delivery tracked. Delivery was free as I had spent over £50 but at the price of the 'pod I'd have happily paid delivery too. The monopod is great quality and solid and I can't see any difference between this one and the Manfrotto alternative and for less money. I'll continue to buy with confidence from Calumet.

Hello At the start of last week, I was interested in switching in my long standing much loved DSLR equipment for a more compact and portable Fuji X-T10, but no more than just playing with the idea. Thankfully someone in Calumet gave me the information that made me change my mind. I even brought my DSLR hardware in to the store and received what I think was a very fair part exchange price. I will be back to Calumet as I found the helpful advice was friendly, refreshingly informal and light hearted and I didn't feel that my questions around the equipment was a nuisance to the person behind the counter. It really was my intention to call the store on Drummond Street to ask for the name of the person who served me, so that in writing this review appropriate thanks could be giving to the correct person, but after 20 minutes on hold listening to a message telling me to hold, the line dropped ! I wish that your lines were as reliable as the human beings working in the stores. Overall a really positive experience. I am, delighted in my new camera and lens, I believe that I made the right choice, which was made less difficult by professional advice. Thanks

This was my first purchase from Calumet, I am very impressed with the way the sale went, I was contact very quickly with a tracking number, there was a slight delay in delivery as the lens came from their Scotland branch and it was a Bank Holiday in England, I had an update and the lens arrived the next day. The deal clincher for me was the extra £50 off the price as part of a bank holiday offer, I'd definitely recommend this company and I will use them again, could you discount the Fujinon 50-140 lens next ?

RX100M3 ordered whilst not in stock using Calumet's great bank holiday discount. Expected to wait 5-10 working days but delighted to receive it within 3 days. Superb customer service with several email enquiries about my order replied to within literally minutes, even out of office hours. Item well packaged and free 24 hr delivery. Cannot recommend highly enough

The genesis flash is real quality and extremely good value. It does everything a Canon does for less than half the price. I would highly recommend it to anyone !!!

After a huge amount of research, I decided to go for the Canon 100-400 mk ii. I could have bought it cheaper on the internet, but decided to stick with Calumet, because they are an approved Canon dealer and I could go in to my local store and pick it up. They also price matched another main Canon dealer, so the final price was not really a lot more expensive than the on-line price. I didn't have my camera body, so didn't manage to try the lens in the shop. When I got it home, I got ERR 01 (no communication) I tried it on another body and everything appeared to be OK, so I wasn't 100% sure if it was the lens or my body which was faulty. I called Calumet the following day and the first thing the sales rep said was, 'Don't worry, We will order you a new lens straight away'. True to their word, the lens arrived two days later. I went in to Calumet they checked the faulty lens on their body and same error. Calumet were absolutely fantastic in how they dealt with the problem. If I had bought the lens on-line, I dread to think the problems I would have had returning the lens, waiting for a replacement etc etc.
