What Our Customer's are Saying
Let customers speak for us
What a pleasure to meet the staff at the new SOHO flagship store. I have been a Camera West Client back in the day when Sean and Diana were working camera shows in the Midwest. The best people ever. Thank you for opening a location that makes it possible for my daughter and I to visit on a regular basis.
Ben is the best!
This was always a sharp lens and now with the new enhanced viewing capabilities on the Leica M ev 1 and on the Leica M11 Monochrome, it is possible to achieve an even better focusing experience. A great Leica lens has gotten better.
Phenomenal service and knowledge Leica staff.
looks good, soft, can wear it like a bandana
The Leica thumb support in my view is a must have and very worthwhile accessory. It adds great ergonomic support when picking up the camera and when framing an image. The Q bodies don't have a side grip like on some larger bodies. As such, it can accidentally slip from your grip if not careful. I dropped my original Q a few times but then added this accessory for my upgraded Q3. The support does block the hotshoe, but I don't use a flash so this is not an issue for me. The support is well designed and perfect for the Q series.
For me this is a great camera. So far like it, Don't need to put an EVF in the hot shoe and can put any lenses i want and get fast shape images. As a bonus it is even slightly lighter. Sean is the easiest and more straight forward person to work with. Happy with poroduct and happy with the source, happy with Leica
The Hasselblad X2D II 100C is not just an upgrade—it’s a thoughtful evolution of what was already one of the most respected medium-format systems on the market.
Image quality is, simply put, breathtaking. Skin tones are natural, gradients are smooth, and files have that signature Hasselblad depth that’s hard to quantify but instantly recognizable. With 16-bit color depth and medium-format sensor size, it captures subtle tonal transitions that smaller formats struggle to reproduce.
Where this purchase truly becomes special is through Camera West and its network of stores across California.
Camera West isn’t just a retailer—it feels more like a curated gallery and community hub for serious photographers. Their customer service is consistently described as outstanding, and for good reason:
Deep product knowledge: Staff actually understand high-end systems like Hasselblad, not just specs but real-world workflow
Personalized guidance: Whether you’re investing in your first medium-format system or upgrading, they take time to match gear to your shooting style
Hands-on experience: You can often try gear in-store, which is invaluable at this price point
After-sale support: They don’t disappear after the purchase—help with setup, lenses, and even technique is part of the experience.
This level of service is increasingly rare, especially in a world dominated by big-box and online retailers. With a camera like the X2D II 100C—where the investment is significant—having a knowledgeable, responsive team behind you adds real value.
The Hasselblad X2D II 100C is one of the most refined medium-format cameras ever made. It blends stunning image quality with meaningful usability improvements, making it not just a luxury tool, but a practical one for professionals.
Paired with the exceptional service from Camera West, the experience goes beyond buying a camera—it feels like entering a higher tier of photography altogether.
If you value image quality above all else, and want a buying experience that matches the premium nature of the product, this combination is hard to beat.
I have never never experienced such quality customer service like I dd at camera west. They pushing education on the quality of their producst and what camera might be right for me versus making a sale. Michael. Horowitz was amazing as well was the other staff. They have gained a customer for life, Their knowledge base is wonderful and they will give you the time that you need. Go and see for yourself.
Somewhat of a 'legend' older lens for Fuji, this came in amazing condition.. frankly, like new; and I had it extremely quick. As always, fantastic shopping experience.
As with all my orders with Leica San Francisco everything was perfect. All the items I was looking for were in stock. Cuddle was wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in a undamaged box.
I don't know how camerawest acquired these Graflex equipment: they are like brand new in box, at very reasonable price. If you need Grafex XL and XLSW related New-Old-Stock parts, here is your last chance to get your hands on them. :-)
And they are a reputable online store with physical stores as well. Highly recommended.
Love the lens. Will probably keep it on the camera most of the time. Great pictures. Should have bought this lens first time I saw it. Glad I did this time.
The perfect travel companion to throw in a small carry bag and versatile enough to handle all sorts of visual options. Love it! Picture quality is excellent and is fairly easy to use and set up.
