 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I purchased the Mamiya Sekor C 50mm f/4.5 lens, and it arrived in perfect condition, exactly as described in the product listing. They also called me to confirm my shipping address, speaking to me in my own language and handling everything very professionally.

I've been testing the lens for a month now, and it works perfectly. Overall, I feel I got a great deal and found a reliable place to buy photography equipment.

I would definitely buy from them again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I purchased a Fujifilm camera about a month ago from RCE Foto Padova and was extremely satisfied with the experience. Before purchasing, I contacted the store by phone for some information and found a very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable team who helped me clarify all my questions. Shipping was fast, and the camera arrived in perfect condition, exactly as expected. An absolutely positive purchasing experience. I highly recommend RCE Foto Padova for their professionalism, helpfulness, and customer service. They will definitely be a go-to place for future photography purchases!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was greeted by Ricardo. He gave excellent advice on choosing the right macro lens for my drawings. It was a perfect alternative to what I was looking for. The price was very competitive, really. And in this context, there was a lot of traffic and four super friendly and professional salespeople. I highly recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I purchased a used Samyang XP 14mm f/2.4 lens. It arrived in apparently excellent aesthetic and mechanical condition, fully consistent with the description provided. The purchasing experience with RCE Foto was positive, with professional service and clear, transparent communication. I still intend to conduct a thorough field test, especially in astrophotography, to verify the optical performance at the edges and corners of the frame, the possible presence of coma and astigmatism, and the correct alignment of the lenses (decentration). These are specific checks that RCE correctly informed me they have not performed. For now, I am very satisfied with the purchase and the condition of the lens. I intend to update the review after the night photography tests. A decidedly positive first impression!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Here's what I found at RCE Aprilia: expertise and professionalism, helpfulness, and kindness. I've lived in Norway for 30 years and have rarely purchased used photographic products because the prices in this country are often outrageous and the warranty, when available, is only six months. Then I contacted the guys at Aprilia, who immediately demonstrated everything I wrote above, with the added bonus of being patient enough to wait until I can come to Rome to pick up the product I'd chosen. Thanks again, guys.
