not very nice

"was a previous customer and tried to get a technical question answered about a lens I had to replace, for which I was able to get the replacement used. Wanted to buy a lens hood fro Mr Gandy, and perhaps buy another lens from him. No way jose. Not after having a sharp short don't bother me attitude."

Best prices anywhere and Great service

"I ordered my lens after his store closed Saturday. I received it in 3 days. He registered my lens prior to shipment. Professional, organized and great communication. When I buy a lens, I check CameraQuest first."

Working Pro review

"Stephan has been one of my dealers for many years as a working Pro. I always get great service and support from his shop. Also if i ever have any issue they are to service any need I have. As a working Pro its all about sales, service and the support your dealer can provide. CameraQuest is top notch in the industry and everything is on a very Professional level. "

CameraQuest provides great service!

"I exclusively buy Voigtlaender lenses from CameraQuest and have experienced amazing service. As soon as my order is placed, I get a confirmation email followed by another one when my order ships. I live in California and get my orders in one day! I only have praise for CameraQuest and its founder Stephen Gandy. Highly recommended!

"I can't believe all of the negative reviews! This guy was a pleasure to deal with, and I will be buying from him again.
I bought a Voigtlander 50mm lens from him, and he shipped it next-day-air for free. After trying it, I told him I didn't like it and that I would like to exchange it for a Voigtlander 35mm. Not only did he agree, he sent me the 35mm with free shipping too! This guy also has VOLUMES of valuable information on classic lenses for FREE! This guy is awesome, and his lenses are TOP NOTCH!

"DO NOT shop from Stephen Gandy, apart from the fact that he is the rudest person ever, his so called business is oriented towards scamming customers. Unfortunately, I bought a Voigtlander body and lens from him and he never gave me a legal invoice. I contacted Cosina, the manufacturer of the products to inform this and they contacted him, yet he still didn't give me a proper invoice that has an invoice number, order number and etc. He didn't even register the serial numbers of the products that he sold me. Shopping from him is like shopping in black market. He was lucky that I didn't contact The Office of Attorney General in California to report him and his way of business."

"I found Stephen Gandy, the sole proprietor of CameraQuest, to be extremely unresponsive, unorganized, and generally unpleasant to deal with. He claimed my order, submitted on Wednesday, would ship via Express Mail on Thursday, and then with no explanation as to the delay shipped it on Friday via normal Priority Mail. He did not respond promptly to inquiries via email and phone. He was late in supplying a tracking number for the package, which I requested and was promised. He asked me questions over the phone which he had previously asked via email, and to which we had already corresponded and confirmed the answers. He attempted to upsell me goods which I did not request. While I recognize that he is a one-employee company, he should not make promises he cannot keep, and should provide explanations for delays. He is unorganized, unprofessional, and does not provide reasonable service."

"I tried to buy from this vendor, but the propietor, Mr. Stephen Grandy is the rudest person I ever met in my entire life, which prevented the transaction from occuring. I have met a lot of rude people my my 25 year business career, but Mr. Grandy tops the list. "
