The product arrived exactly as described, in good condition, and met expectations. I really appreciated the professionalism, helpfulness, and care shown during the purchase process, as well as the care taken in managing my order. It's always a pleasure to buy from specialty stores where you can sense expertise and passion for photography. I will definitely keep RCE Padova as a reference for my future photography purchases. Recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently purchased a used lens through the RCE website. The item, sold as "as new," actually has some scratches that are not described (as found upon delivery to the RCE dealer in my city), therefore not reflecting the conditions described in the ad.

Communication was prompt and friendly, shipping was very fast, and the equipment was in perfect condition. The price was reasonable, especially considering the warranty. RCE, as always, is a go-to for used photography!
