Webster Camera? - 12-04-2009, 09:02 AM


Anyone ever been to webster camera? I went there yesterday because I was in the area and I was not impressed. Not sure if the guy who owns it is a member here or not...but from a customer standpoint I was not happy with the service received. I told him Im looking for a nice 645 and that I really love shooting film, even better than digital. He then tells me "if you dont like digital, your not using it right."

Then he was telling me about the Seagull TLR's he was selling, that he sells for $299!!!! Wow! Over a 100% markup on a chinese camera! They sell for $120 from the company that makes them.

I dont know, any thoughts?

The guy has been around this area for many years in at least three locations. He has the customer service skills of a porcupine. His stuff is old and dusty if he even has what you want he wants retail plus for outdate stuff. I try to never go in there. Someone asked me if he did repair, and I still don't know but would not take my stuff to him.

I have and was not all that happy any of the times I have gone. Also had a lens "cleaned" there twice and gave up before bringing it back a third time. I tried to support my local camera shop, but what can you do.

I felt like I was walking into a camera graveyard when I walked in the the one and only time I stopped in.
