5/5
posted Jan-25-2012
When I first entered Pictureline's SLC store I was impressed. Beginning with the low key welcome from a salesperson to the upscale decor which begged for my attention at multiple displays I was drawn further into the store and the culture of Pictureline. Sales representatives had great product knowledgeable and stayed focused on my current needs and desires. I discovered that many of the sales reps were specialists in given products. I am a Nikon shooter and Pictureline has a Nikon guru, a Canon guru and a Leica guru as well as a software and peripherals guru.
I became a Pictureline regular after the Nikon D3 was introduced, Since that time I have not bothered to shop and any local retail camera store or online store. I was recently on a shoot and ran into another Nikon photographer. He was shooting a D3s with a Nikkor 70-200 2.8. He was looking for a wide depth of field, which that lens does so well. I wanted to highlight the subject and was shooting with a Nikkor 85mm 1.4 wide open for shallow depth of field. He noticed the lens I was shooting and mentioned that his 85 was on backorder from an online dealer, and he couldn't wait for it to come in. He had been waiting for weeks and I walked into Pictureline the day I heard the 85 was available and bought mine off the shelf. Funny thing is Pictureline's price was so close to the the online price and I didn't have to pay any shipping.
On one occasion I needed a small bracket and ordered it from Pictureline's site. With the price of gas and time required to make the trip personally I figured their bare minimum shipping cost was tolerable. To my surprise the bracket was at my door the next day.
My most recent purchase was a soft box for my SB900 speed light. It was a last minute purchase made on my way to shoot the largest client I have ever had. In a few short years and with the exceptional assistance of the staff at Pictureline I have moved from the occasional shooter of pretty landscapes and architecture to a profitable portrait photographer.
