Grateful

The transfer has come through. Many thanks again for your rapid action, and for the “good home” for the collection. We could not have hoped for a better solution. I do hope the sales will turn out to your satisfaction, possibly leading to renewed interest in Voigtlander. On behalf of my family, once again our grateful thanks. 

C.t.B (Belgium)

Exactly as described

Hello Peter, the Voigtlander Bessa 466 arrived safely in Australia, exactly as described. Thanks so much, and I will credit you when I publish the article about the camera. 

C.M. (Australia)

It’s great

The Noct arrived safe and sound; thanks. I’ve had 3 of these lenses in the past, including a boxed one, and foolishly let them go. But this one is truly superb, both in condition and optically.

I’ve tested it on a Z6, and a Leica SL with a Novoflex. It’s great.

I am delighted

Thank you very much for the speedy delivery of the camera I bought the other day. Greatly appreciated. I am delighted with the camera apart from one thing; having now received it I find that it is in such beautiful condition I am now slightly reluctant to actually use it!... Joking apart I really just wanted to thank you once again. I'm sure I will overcome my reluctance and give it a (respectful) work-out as originally planned. 

P.C. (UK)

A wonderful book

Just a small mail to say thank you for selling and shipping the Lars Nipotil book to me, all went fine, a wonderful book, a little bit heavy, though but I will try to carry it with the help of two friends towards my book shelf.

C.R. (UK)

Must say I think it is superb

The camera arrived safely, thanks. Must say I think it is superb, and your description was very modest! It amazes me that a 1936 camera can look so good and operate so smoothly. Wouldn't it be fascinating to know who the first owner was and it's history. Thanks again, and look forward to next time ( a IIIa in similar condition I hope). 

K.W. (UK)

D.D. (UK)

I thank you sincerely for your superlative and friendly service

The order of the Leica 111f body, case and operators manual arrived today safe and sound.

Everything is no less than I expected ( given your outstanding reputation) and even better than I hope for. I look forward to placing further orders in the future and I thank you sincerely for your superlative and friendly service. There are many who could benefit if they took up your business model of conservative quality gradings and superlative service.

R.K. (Australia)

Much appreciate for your services

I have to say thanks for your parcels that I received in the weekend. The IIIg and the IROOA are superb. The Nikon S3 is nice, a bit better than expected. Thanks for your honest grading that is on customers' point of view. The DIREK came with some extra instructions are great help indeed for it was an old age accessory in the 30's. Much appreciate for your services. 

L.K.H. (Hong Kong)

The lens quality far exceeded your description

Hi Peter. The lens arrived safely over the weekend. Beautiful lens. As with any purchase I make from you, the lens quality far exceeded your description. 

M.S. (USA)

Very luvly

The Nikon F arrived this morning as you predicted. Paint is remarkable.... Very luvly, thanks. 

J.E. (UK)

Much better than expected

Hi The lens I purchased from you has been tested on my Leica digital and film camera and has given excellent sharp results Optics are much better than expected. 

R.C. (UK)

I’m absolutely delighted!

I put a roll of film through the L2 with the newly arrived 28/2.8 Canon ltm. Results are excellent. I can’t actually see the minor haze at all - only small amount of dust. Lens performance is better than I’d expected. Heavy vignetting wide open but good central sharpness. Edge sharpness good enough by f4 . Corners never fully sharpen . By 5.6 excellent across frame sharpness, modest contrast with some barrel distortion. So I’m absolutely delighted! I really appreciate you including the battle scarred Canon lens cap. 

A.C. (UK)

C.R. (UK)

Peter, it has been a pleasure working with you on this purchase

Hope you are doing well, our lenses arrived in perfect condition thanks to your careful packaging. Patrick was pleasantly surprised to receive the caps and the strap. He is particularly thrilled to get the Russian cap. He has a love of German and Russian cameras and binoculars from the WWII era. His new lenses are just what he needed for his 1938 Leica. Peter, it has been a pleasure working with you on this purchase, we hope to be able to shop with you again in the near future. 

B.M. (USA)

B.M. (Canada)

You’ve always got high praise from my friends

Thank you very much, the camera arrived safely first thing this morning. And it’s beautiful and I’m very happy with it! You’ve always got high praise from my friends on the Leica Forum so was excited to see you had a Nikon SP in stock. I’m not a collector as such (although I’ve got enough Leica’s to open a museum) , but I wanted an SP to go alongside my 1959 Nikon F and had been searching for the right one for a while, and they don’t come up often.
