Does anyone have experience with Igor's Camera? -- he has a lot of nice stuff that's tempting me!

Great experience with Igor so far. I've bought several older Nikon RF mount lenses and a few bodies that were in better condition than advertised. His prices are also very good, compared to other online resellers like KEH.

I've purchased several items from Igor. Very pleased with all of them.

He's not the world's best communicator. Emails sometimes go unanswered.
I think he does photo shows, so he may travel a lot. English may not be his first language.

It's not polite to start multiple threads on the same subject.

The question has been answered by multiple folks in the other thread.

I saw Igor this morning, we spoke briefly. He attends some, possibly all, Photorama camera shows. English is not his first language but his English seems to be better than that of some of the native speakers who post here.

Good to know -- sorry if I caused offense.

No problemo. That rule is pretty universal on internet fora.

Here's a link to the other thread.

i bought a wollensak series 1a triple convertible from him
at the suggestion of a friend, maybe 13 + years ago
and i have always wished i had more money to mail
to him for lenses ever since. thankfully i am broke

This thread better belongs to the "Repair Forum".

only one purchase so far , but it went smoothly.

Only positive experiences, and he's got a great inventory with new stuff coming in all the time.

I dealt with him once many years ago... deal went well. I spoke with him today regarding an item I'm interested in. He was very honest regarding what other options are available for my needs. Seem's like a nice guy... but don't expect to squeeze a word in edgewise if you speak with him.

He loaned me a rare Plaubel Makiflex lens for the weekend to photograph, and take some measurements. Later Ed Sawyer and I bought the lens and divided it up between us. Also bought a Gold Minolta 16MG and twenty Minolta 16mm cartridges early this year. He's a good guy making a living in a very tough business.

Bought a bunch of stuff from him, always better than described, always cheaper than other places.
