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.

Ordered online from London. The goods were in stock and arranged to pick up from local depot at Milton Keynes. All fine and saved me a lot of time and expense going into London to collect or to await a delivery. Good service - will continue to use,

I have purchased equipment from Calumet's two London stores over many years and would not consider using any other supplier. I have also attended several Calumet seminars which I have always found to be excellent. In short I am a very satisfied customer.

As a proffessionaI photographer running my own business i love shopping in Calumet, their range of photo equipment always amazes me. Theres nothing you can think of that they don't have and their prices are some of the best in the market, the guys in the Glasgow branch are always friendly and knowledgable which always helps.

I got exactly what expected - professional advice and help, and a chance to play around with the equipment before the purchase.

Your staff at Glasgow are always very helpful. So much so that I never have any reservations in recommending them to my friends.

In my experience the staff at Calumet (Birmingham) are knowledgeable photographers in their own right. They can give good advice and the added value you can't get from a web shop or most of theother "high street" photography chains.

I purchased a canon 5d mk3 from Calumet. It was one of the cheapest deals on the net made even cheaper by the addition of a free battery grip that I was going to buy anyway. The delivery time was very quick & came when the email said. There should be nothing remarkable about an item matching its description & price but in my experience this is most often not the case. One of my reasons for making a big purchase from Calumet is that I have used them before & never had a problem with any of the transactions. They are the first company I look to when buying equipment.
