raven_garrison Posted February 21, 2000 Share Posted February 21, 2000 Hi, I was wondering if anyone had experience with Badger Graphics, and how it went. Their prices seem to be unbeatable. There're even below B+H prices. I'm going to purchase a lens from them, and I will definitely ask if it has a USA warranty. I'm actually blown away by the "good" price on it.

howard_slavitt3 Posted February 21, 2000 Share Posted February 21, 2000 I've had very good experiences making purchases from Badger Graphics. They are inexpensive and reliable, based on my couple of purchases. I know another photographer who has also had positive experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_frsot Posted February 21, 2000 Share Posted February 21, 2000 I've purchased a Fuji 240mm lens from Badger. All went well and I would certainly buy from them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan_congdon Posted February 21, 2000 Share Posted February 21, 2000 I've bought from them extensively, and always been pleased. Jeff there is very pleasant and knowledgable. Their prices on new stuff are the best around, and I would buy from them by preference over anybody else offering the same price. <p> Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpshiker Posted February 21, 2000 Share Posted February 21, 2000 Recently bought a Fujinon C 300 from them and was very happy with the good price and fast delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_rosen4 Posted February 21, 2000 Share Posted February 21, 2000 Hi, Over the last year I have purchased from Jeff at badger a Linhof Technikardan, 65,90,150,210 rodenstock lens and fuji 300 and 450. In addition, a few weeks ago I purchased a scheider 110 lens at price that was only a few dollars more then whites's in england. Jeff is one the nicest and honest large format experts that I have dealtb with over the years. I have always found his prices better then B&H. I cannot recommend him more highly. <p> Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_glickman Posted February 21, 2000 Share Posted February 21, 2000 Ditto everyting above, Jeff is a great guy to deal with, and this is what happens when you are honest, knowledgeable and offer good prices! I have bought several lenses and other LF items from him. Feel confident yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_c. Posted February 22, 2000 Share Posted February 22, 2000 I'll add to all the above. I've had great experiences with Badger. Have no hesitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masayoshi_hayashi Posted February 22, 2000 Share Posted February 22, 2000 One more positive vote for Badger Graphics. Simply Jeff has one of thebest prices in US as well as his service. I quite doubt the USAwarranty for significantlly cheaper prices on Schneider lenses, forexample. Del also has non-USA warranty schneider lenses with Del's 3year warranty at much lower prices than B&H. So simply ask Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry_huppert1 Posted February 22, 2000 Share Posted February 22, 2000 I consider Jeff at Badger Graphics my primary source for equipment bot new and used. You won't be able to find a better dealer. B&H is usually more pleasant then they use to be, but they rarely match Badger's prices, in-house stock (on LF) or knowledge. On new schneider lenses, I believe Badger can get USA Schneider distributed lenses (at a higher price) or the same lens from other sources (at lower prices). It probably comes down to how highly you value the USA warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raven_garrison Posted February 22, 2000 Author Share Posted February 22, 2000 Thanks for the responses. Either Jeff has some friends at this site, or I'd say he's a good guy to do business with. I live about fifteen minutes away from Abbey Camera, a professional source for photographers. I have had it with their arrogance on the phone, and either their lack of knowledge, or intentional attitude when asking questions. As a matter of fact, they didn't even know that a Rodenstock APO Sironar "S" existed. This is really o.k., its their attitude I refuse to deal with. Any source that I can do business with instead of Abbey Camera, I will. Thanks, Raven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred_sun1 Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 I bought a lens and film from Badger Graphics for the first time last week. I put in the order on a Friday afteroon, the package was shipped the following Monday, and I received the items on the other side of the world on Saturday by USPS EMS. All email to Jeff during office hours was replied promptly. Good packing, great prices, and Jeff's grading on used items is accurate. I'll definitely buy again!
