My experience with Samy's Camera is usually good, however I am quiet disappointed that they would email me stating they would purchase my lens only for them to back out of the offer. As stated in an email sent my Samy's: "For the Sigma 105mm f2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro we would offer $150.00 in Canon/Nikon/Sony mounts." They also stated, "Subject to inspection. You can also take your gear in to any Samy's camera for a firm offer." Unfourtunately this was an absolute lie. I ended up driving 45 minutes only for one of the employees to ask me what lens I'm selling, followed by *not* even inspecting the lens, only for the offer to be "trade-in only" rather than what they emailed me. Ridiculous. This was my first time back at this location (Pasadena) in a couple of years. I would definitely head to a different location than Pasadena.

I have shopped with Samy's Camera for over 25 years, and have only had good experiences. I now shop with them from out of state and still Samy's is my go to camera supply shop. Just placed a order on Wednesday, it was packaged and shipped the next day, and I received it Saturday. Awesome, product and professional service. Don't waste your time with others, just shop the pros.....stick with Samy's Camera no matter where you live.

Samy's is great. Friendly, knowledgeable. They have a decent selection for a relatively small store (Pasadena) and the rental department is usually well-equipped.

I was a first time customer and I would suggest this store to any & all camera owners. Employees all had wonderful customer service from walking in the store to walking out. I was helped by Patrick and was very impressed with the customer service but as well with the help he had given to solve issues on my own personal camera, also was helped by Art with an on point sensor cleaning that left my camera good as new! First time coming here and definitely won't be the last ! Highly recommend! Excellent customer service!

Questions & Answers

Do you have the Sigma 4.5 mm fisheye for Canon APS camera in stock, to RENT or buy? I might want to get the lens before Amazon can get it to me on Monday, January 22nd. Will you match their $799 price? Thanks ... Makofoto

You can always call them and ask. They do not usually answer questions here, as this is for local guides to answer questions.

Sadly I don't live there, but my experience at samys was great. I'm sure they will have what you need, if not just be amazed at all their other equipment :-)

Yup. They'll appraise your gear on the spot and offer store credit. In my experience the quotes they've given me -- and which I accepted -- were very fair.
