Is Badger Graphics a reliable vendor for camera equipment?

[Robert Lussier]

I'm currently shopping for a Scheider lens and came across a company from the Mi dwest, Badger Graphics, that is offering good prices on Schneider lenses. They haven't responded to my emails and was wondering if I should stay away? Has any one out there had dealings with this company, good or bad?

I first heard about them on this site. Their service was first rate. The prices were great. I'd definitely use them again.

Robert,

By all means, Badger Graphic Sales is a reliable, trustworthy vendor that offers great prices and friendly, knowledgeable service. They are always the first pl ace I call when I am considering purchasing anything photographic. The best way to contact them is to phone their toll free number (800-558-5350) and ask for J eff, he's their large format specialist. IMHO they are the best large format d ealer on the planet.

I have no affiliation with Badger Graphic other than as a very satisfied repeat customer. I think if you do a scan through the archives here and the rec.photo. equipment.large-format newsgroup you will find many more satisfied customers wit h similar high praise for Badger Graphic.

Exceedingly reliable, and with customer service second to none. My first contact was an emailed question sent on a Sunday. I hoped for a response sometime Monday. Jeff answered within an hour! Can't explain the lack of response to your emails, but I enthusiastically recommend Badger.

Had my first transaction with Badger last week. Purchased a Linhof fresnel lens for my 4X5. Price was far less than B&H, and service was superb. I would reccomend them highly, and I intend to do more business with them. Richard Boulware - Denver.

Your experience with email reply is bad luck for they usually reply very quickly . Maybe their prose is not always very abundant, but very efficient. An excellent service and the best prices on F ujinon too.

I second all the opinions here, I bought a camera from them and received nothing but excellent service. Dont be shy they will take care of you.

A "top drawer" place to do business in all respects. A hearty second to all others' opinions.

I live only 20 min away and am always going up there. Great place to shop and just to talk equipment.

I recently bought an Ebony 4x5 and Nikkor lens from them. Even more recently I ordered a Kodak single-sheet Readyload holder and some T- max from Badger-- all of which arrived well-packaged and promptly. Prices are good and service is first rate.
