donald_brewster Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 A great many LF forum participants have dealt with Robert White, and the archives will reveal many positive testimonials. I've found him to be first rate in every respect. Definitely someone you can conduct business with complete confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_hawkins Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I live in the US and bought a Gitzo tripod from him. Everything went smoothly and quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin carron Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I have dealt with Robert White both at his shop in Poole UK and by mail order and been pleased every time. In my top ten of all the photographic shops in the UK RW would come out #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardea Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I dealt with him personally from the Florida Keys. Both he and his staff are courteous and knowledgable. I ordered a high ticket item, shipment was quick and easy. Regards, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.baxendell Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I can also vouch for the integrity of Robert White. They have sold me large format lenses, a D1X, a number of Nikon lenses and an Elinchrom flash kit. Everything arrived as promised with no problems. They are also very helpful if you call them.

steve_baggett Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Absolutely serious and completely trustworthy. I've bought numerous items from him. You will not find a better merchant, although there are some that are equally good, e.g., Badger Graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug_dolde Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Robert White is A-1 and then some. Badger Graphics may have a better price though on some items and they are also A-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_goldfarb Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Completely first rate, friendly, efficient, and offers excellent prices on many lines, but be sure to compare with other options like Badger Graphic and B&H, which may have better prices on specific items.

paul_owen Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 RW offers both superb prices and service!! You will be hard pushed to find an equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob. Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Before you buy from a dealer you do not know, it may be worth checking http://www.photo.net/neighbor/one-subcategory?id=2 where there is a large number of user reports. As far as R.W. is concerned, I've bought several items (I am in the UK) and all have been dispatched within 24 hours and arrived well packed. As has been said, R.W. has an enviable reputation. If you search the archives, there are plenty of mentions of him, and some of the potential pitfalls of buying overseas (import duty & taxes, warranties etc). Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolf_g._katzenstein Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 One of the great ones along with B&H and Badger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_lyons Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 CarlosI agree with the favourable comments-even when getting things sent to Australia!No complaints at all.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_cole2 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Yep, the best, and they ALL know what they are talking about, and don't mind messing around to sort your problems out! On one occasion, Robert gave me a huge trout fresh from the Avon - you won't get that kind of service at Jessops!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
