I have been shopping at B&H Photo since I was in high school (i.e., 1978). It has always been the most reliable dealer with the largest selection of anything photographic. I have probably made over a hundred purchases from them over the last 30 years, and I have never, ever had a problem. They are always the first place I go for anything photographic.
It looked like I would not be able to find a back up battery for my new camera, but my sister found that B&H had what we were looking for. I needed it before leaving for Europe in 2 weeks, and it was shipped to me by the 19th, in plenty of time before departure date! We were very happy to find B&H Photo - Video - Pro Audio!
As a professional photographer B&H has always been there for all my photography needs. From a simple camera bag, to high end lenses, B&H has always provided good in depth reviews and recommendations of their products. They package and ship all their products well and arrive in the time requested. I have never been disappointed with their service. Will continue to use them for everything I need related to photography! Also if you are ever in New York City, NY make sure you spend some time in their superstore! Talk about INCREDIBLE!
I have bought from B&H in the past personally, then when the time arose to puchase some items for the company I work for I recomended B&H. Excellent service once again and FAST shipping.
Thank you very much, Shalom.
As a photographer I turned to B&H when I needed a piece of equipment for my camera as well as an extra hard drive to store my burgeoning portfolio of images. Just as I expected they had exactly what I needed in stock and at a competitive price. The online ordering process is easy to navigate, making sure you know exactly what you're ordering, where it's shipping and how you'll be paying. My order was delivered right on time. I need to allocate my time to photography clients, not chasing around to find what I need. B&H is in my corner with products and service that meet my expectations.
B&H has been a favorite supplier of mine for many years. I've bought thousands of dollars worth of photo and video equipment from them and they always do exactly what they promise. I even had UPS deliver an electronic flash to a wrong addresss and B&H made good on it quickly and they worked it out with UPS. I could not ask for better.
The Black Rapid R5 camera strap has revolution the way I shoot.
I had read many reviews of this strap, but using the R5 has to be one of the best improvement in shooting I have experienced.
Very fast order delivery, and when my order (a pair of compact Nikon Eagleview binoculars) showed up with a lens defect and disappointing engineering (using the zoom messed with the focus), I immediately set up a return. No problem at all. I re-ordered a different style, and hopefully better engineered, pair of binoculars.
I have found B&H consistently very good on all counts for the last 20 years that I have been dealing with them, even more so in the last number of years.
B&H Photo & Video processed my order efficiently and professionally. I am totally satisfied with the quality of service provided and would recommend this company to my friends and family.
B & H Photo Video is by far the best I have dealt with. I purchased 4 items do far and I have not been disappointed. The prices are decent and customer service very prompt. I will continue shopping there even though I reside in Canada.
Order was shipped and arrived as per estimated time. Package and contents arrived OK. No complaints. Will buy again as price is competitive and service so far so good.
Product review:
Was tempted to get the Canon WD-H37C II 37mm, but then the price for that was thirty D more than this and it was a 3-element design compared to this 4-element one.
You get what you pay for. It is a big piece of glass and probably weighs 1/2 SR11 itself. However, the performance is worth the weight.
This is imprinted with a Carl-Zeiss marking, and the rim has a helpful rubbery grip, which the Canon doesn't have.
Performance wise, I am impressed at the lack of optical distortions and I don't seem to lose any brightness.
I've tested the generics and they just don't cut it, with bad barrel distortions, vignetting and chromatic abberations. You might save some money, but your precious shots are all ruined. If you've a HD camcorder and paid so much for it already, why let a lens spoil it.
My gripe is that I cannot put a filter to the front side, and thus you need to be careful. Overall, I am glad I chose this over the Canon and saving some money in the process for great performance. I'd recommend this even for the Canon guys.
