I just love this multi-purpose lens. It's easy to use and it is very versital. It is also extremely sharp. It fits very well with my X2Dii Camera.
I’m Loving it. Super easy to switch between the film sims and custom recipes I loaded. The button customization makes it perfect for any quick shots I want to take. It’s a bit heavier than I expected for its size, but still super compact and perfect for traveling. Overall, I’m excited about photography again because of this camera.
Camera West made the purchasing process so easy. I called on a Saturday to get on a waitlist, fortunately enough they had one in stock in their LA location. Paid for it online. Camera was delivered to my house by Tuesday.
The people at CW are very attentive and kind. They make a point of helping you choose and are always available whenever you need assistance. It’s truly a specialized team that knows what they’re doing. If you’re looking for a unique experience when buying photographic equipment, this is the place to go. It’s great that they came to New York, the city really needed a store like this.
My son and I while in NYC, stumbled upon Camera West's grand opening. After being greeted by Michael who was helpful in assessing lens choices, we also met Festa. After talking through said lens options and realizing they have a great selection of new and used/demo units, I agreed to purchase not only a lens, but also the Leica Sofort 2. Festa was kind enough to try to charge the camera for us while we witnessed first hand the close-knit family-esque relationship of the group in attendance for the grand opening, and partook in the celebratory prosecco being passed around. What a memorable day to happen to be walking by and to have met new friends. Thank you for the 70-200, and the fun Sofort 2. Both have been great. You made it fun to spend money unexpectedly.
Was in need of a wrist strap and this store had great options. Happened to run into the maker of the wrist strap who was in the store during the opening weekend. Great material, well crafted. Excited to use it!
The Q3 43 combines everything that I need for my personal style of photography at this point in my life. I have used Leica M bodies, film and digital, for decades. I bought the M's so that I could use the wide variety of superb Leica lenses. Lenses in the 'Normal' range of 40-50mm have always suited my personal shooting style best. My two go-to lenses for walking around are a APO 50 and an old Summicron-C 40mm. The Q3 43 is the sweet spot for me.
I live in the Pacific Northwest where it rains a lot! The Q3 43 is weather sealed, my M11P, M11M, M6 and M lenses are not. My 80 year old eyes make manual focusing difficult. The Q3 43 Auto focus works great for me.
For me, the Q3 43 is the one camera to carry when I only want to carry one..your mileage may vary. And, the cost of the Q3 43 is only 45% of the combined cost of a M11P and APO 50mm!
I went to your store in Walnut Creek for some advice on Fujifilm receipts. Ash who works there was phenomenal. I have never had such great service and patience with me.. She took her time and explained how to input recipes onto the camera. It’s people like her that will always make me come back to your store. At this point it’s not about the price but the customer service.
Wayne Serrano was the main reason why I bought the camera and other items associated with it from your store.
He was quite patient in his dealings with me. His knowledge and thorough comparison of the other products helped me in making the purchase. He stayed on the phone to answer all my questions and or doubts. He was also quite respectful in his dealings with me. He did not make me feel like he was in a hurry to get off the phone.
I could had bought the products from another store. I have dealt with various individuals from other stores but did not came across someone like him. I also plan to purchase future products from him.
Kindly extend my appreciation to Wayne Serrano.
I simply love the character of this lens. It's remarkable how it can be both sharp AND buttery.
Seems to work well with my 35 year old Hasselblad 500cm. The files are very big, over 200 MB. Having a good computer is a must.
So grateful to finally acquire my grail camera and Camerawest Walnut Creek has always been my go to for all things photography related for the past few years. I’ve always received the best customer service and superior attention to detail with my interactions and trades. Sad they will be leaving Walnut Creek soon, but excited to visit the upcoming SF location next year.
Great product, works well for costal shots and harsh sublight.
Effortless transaction - thank you
I was of the wrong understanding that every lever shift would enable two frames to fired.
Excellent little lens. I have adapted it for use on my Fuji XT-50 as a lightweight short telephoto.
Perfect jewel in stunning condition. Thank you, Sean and team. Exquisite perfection and you are a pleasure to deal with.
The Hasselblad X2D II body fits my needs exactly. I recognize that its sequence shooting is slower, but I have no need for that. I have found that the autofocus is fast and accurate. As well it tracks eyes and faces well. I am a fan of simple menu systems and this camera delivers. I have no need for 90% of the options offered by Canon and Sony. The images out of the camera are superb. I cannot recommend this camera highly enough.
Very easy to install, comfortable and substantial enough for heavier load with a larger lense.
