Calumet is pulling a bait and switch with their "Photo-Assistant Training" marketeering.
The flyer that they sent as well as their web site creates the illusion that a person will actually get some photo-assistant training on different camera platforms including Hasselblad, Leaf, Phase One, Nikon, and Canon. They even make you call up for a ticket confirmation number to attend the "Training" from 10:00 to 4:00.
My wife, Shelah and I signed up and took time off from work to attend the "Training".
Imagine our dismay when we and a bevy of others showed up at Calumet only to find the same old, reps at tables, as one would find at any Rep day at any camera store. When we asked the reps about the "training", they said "No training, you need to talk to someone at Calumet about that". When I talked to the store manager and showed him the add that said "Photo-Assistant Training", he clained that it was a misprint. Well they have a lot of other misprints comming up so others be warned and
Shame on you Calumet!
