Hi everyone.
I live in Northeastern PA. , and go to camera trade shows on a regular basis. The Adorama buyer, present at all shows-is the most crudest and rude person that i have ever met in all my world travels. Now this might not be relative to there store operations, but i feel should be mentioned. I to have been in their store and purchased some small items. I dont doubt many customers are well and courtesy satisfied, but i certaintly stay away from their trade show buy. I have had him physically grab a lens out of my hand, that i picked up first from a table. A show dealer friend of mine, had him physically drag a customer away from his table, in order for Adorama to purchase a Hassey 40MM lens, that a patron was trying to sell my friend. Just my feelings on Adorama at Camera shows.
Cheers
Harry
I'm half and half on Adorama. I ordered a Canon lens from them. It was soft and focused badly. I made the mistake of sending it to Canon to see if it could be repaired. They did, but it was still weak all around. When I tried to send it back to Adorama (within two weeks), they wouldn't let me because they said they couldn't resell it because the warranty was in my name, or somesuch.
Amazon never had any such problems. Unless they have a seriously compelling price, I won't order from Adorama in the future.
