Hello Forum.
In response to Member interest for Buy and Sell feedback, this is one of two sticky threads created for feedback within the Buy and Sell Forum.
This one, GRINS, is for positive feedback, and especially for exceptional situations wherein one goes the extra mile to please you in a transaction.
Lack of praise within this thread is not to be construed as a negative vote. The FROWNS sticky is for addressing that.
It is expected that most transactions in Buy and Sell will go smoothly, as they well should. So, feedback here is therefore optional, not regarded as essential or necessary.
:)
Hi,
I'd like to start off on this one :)
Two sellers who've gone the extra mile:
Naveen Bachwani :
Dateline known since : Jan 2009
Posted his SB 400 flash for sale. Advertised as like new!. I spoke him a couple of times. Sounded down to earth. Since he is from Mumbai and stays around my colleague's office in Mumbai. I arranged to get the flash delivered and payment made face to face. He was ok with it.
Deal went off smoothly and i got the flash in a couple of days. It actually was like new ( showed it to the Nikon service centre at Ahmedabad and they certified it's quality).
Extra Mile event : The flash came without it's manual ( Naveen had in in the initial phases confirmed that it was not there). I searched for the manual online and found it. A couple of months later, Naveen actually found the hardcopy that had come with the flash and he called me and even sent me the manual. That's a few months after the deal was done with!!
The flash is now an integral part of my inhouse pics.
Recently, a friend picked up his 18-200 lens and he was very happy with his dealing.
Recommendation as a seller : Highy Recommended. Takes good care of his gear and now is also a good friend! We keep on sharing pics on and off :D
Nirmalya Sinha :
Dateline : again Jan 2009
Nirmalya had posted a Nikon remote which he had lying around. Value = Rs.200!!
I spoke to him i think once. He sent his bank details and i made the payment. He sent me the remote the very same day. Even though it was only a 200Rs item. You should have seen the way it was packed and despatched!! A piddly remote was foam packed and then sealed in a box and then despatched!
The remote still works btw!
Recommendation as a seller : High.
I hope the above are in line with the expectations of this thread. Mods may please modify if they find it non confirming.
I have purchased three items from different sellers in this forum, and It was a nice experience dealing with them.
#1. Sachin (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=939)
I purchased a Seiconic light meter from him, it was in mint condition as stated by him. It was delivered to my friend in Mumbai and payment was made, later it reached me. I am very much satisfied with the deal. Flash Meter is working perfectly for me.
Recommendation as a seller : Highy Recommended. Takes good care of his gears.
#2 Addy(Dr.adwet)(http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4106)
I purchased a 18-105 Nikkor VR lens from him. This lens was in mint condition as stated by him. This too was delivered to my Mumbai friend, and later reached me. I am very much satisfied with the deal. It is working perfectly for me.
Recommendation as a seller : Highy Recommended. Takes good care of his gears.
#3. Piyush(http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=5470)
This gentleman is from Pune. I purchased a P&S Camera(Canon SX 10 IS) from him. Here also the camera was delivered to my Pune friend, payment was made. This camera is also in mint condition as told by him.I am quite satisfied with camera's working.
Recommendation as a seller : Highy Recommended. Takes good care of his gears.
Hope this will be helpful to the potential buyers....
I have purchased canon 40D and It was a nice experience dealing with him.
He has given correct information for all his items.Nothing is hide.
#1. Gunjan (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?topic=5304.0)
I Recommend this seller.
I purchased two items through the forum and both were good experiences.
1. Abhijit Vaidya
Bought a filter from him. He had packed the item so well that I was very happy at the care he took while sending. Of course, the filter I received was exactly as described.
2. Sourabh Trivedi
I bought the SB 800 today from him. He handed over the flash which was exactly as he had described in his offer.
I am very happy to be dealing with people like these. I hope people who buy/sell on this forum will have similar experiences.
Thanks to all who make these possible.
Ravi
Shobin George - well... he has already earned good name for his fair deals. I just bought a Nikon 35-70 2.8 from him. He not only took pains to come all the way to Andheri from Chembur to hand over the lens (those who live in Mumbai know it's not a mean feat - sp. during rush hours!), he looked more concerned than I would be that I was fully satisfied with the product and I had a good deal.
Highly recommended... :) :)
Mukesh
Yusuf Motiwala... I am equally happy with this deal.... Indeed he was a very responsive person... Though our deal was a lengthy one yet we went through.... The way he packed the stuffs was stupendous... and thanks a lot for your lenses... they are too good...
But one thing, 8) I wont part with them ever... They will be like my babies...
Regards,
Arindom
Thanks Arindom, glad you liked the lenses.
Yusuf
Thank you Mukesh sir, it was a great experience to deal with you... looking forward to meeting you again..... :)
Thanks for taking the time to put it on record, Jay! When I'd listed the SB400, I was merely seeking a "buyer", but ended up with a friend instead...
Positive feedback for seller slash s
Purchased Tamron 70-200 2.8. Good communication. Item very well preserved. Seems to be used with lot of care. Prices competetive. He has few more items for sale currently. GL for sale.
Five starts for User Raj_Clicker *****.
http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=5688 (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=5688)
Being Honest , I opened a/c on this Forum "just" to get professional for getting a Cam and thought to forget account after I get the same .
I wrote a post and Raj replied to that .. After talking to him on phone , I thought he would be in his early 30s like me , but when I went to meet him , Saw a very young boy around 24 years old, with great way of communication. I was really impressed by his nature and way of talking . Friendly as well !
One thing I would like to mention, The Cam I got from him did nt really belong to him, He was just helping his some friend to sell his Cam . After me asking him the reason , he said , ' I jst want to bridge the gap between Sellers and buyers who are not much open to this Virtual world and like to help people' . ( He is a social worker as well , later he told me ::))
Kudos for this.
And about the cam, Well I was really pleased with the Cam , the way care was taken and was handled which made me more than satisfied ... And I changed my mind of forgetting the Forum after deal, Pleased to get good friend indeed.
Must interact with this Guy if gets a chance ...

Welcome to JJMPF, Rahul.
There is a wealth of help and lots of resources available from the Membership here. I hope you will make yourself at home and will have the full benefit of them.
:)
Ami21: I had recently bought the Vivitar 285 HV from Ami21 (Amit Navale). Everything was smooth between us. By the time I transferred the money he had already couriered it. And reached in 3 days to me at my home. and for packing he has to sacrifice his 55-250 mm lens box. :)
Packed very nicely. Item is at very good condition and working flawlessly.
I thanks him for being so patience and helping. Highly recommended. :)
Thanks so much Vimal.....
I highly appreciate your comments. i too enjoyed dealing with you & would say that this was the most easiest & hassle free deal for me till now.
Amit
P.S: No worries about the box, my 55-250 was handed over quite back :)
Thanks HENRY !
Its really glad to get good people ! ! ! ! :D
After purchasing Nikon D3100 DSLR, there was a confusion with me whether my cam is compatible with 50mm lens. After reading cam manual, it is came to know that it is focus with 50mm NIKON Series E Manual lens on manual mode. So I rang up Mr. Zaahid (JJMF Member)of Hyderabad for his 50mm manual lens. He agreed and asked me to deposit the amount in SBI account of Hyderabad. After deposit he sent it to my address systematic packing trough DTDC.
The lens is in good condition and worked well in manual mode.
Thanks to Mr. Zaahid and JJMF
J Prakash
Smooth transaction with member RG. http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?topic=7438.0

Got a camera waist bag from Ras.

Pankaj :)
Thank you Pankaj !! I hope it comes to good use of you !! :D
Lovely experience with Dr. Anand
Purchased a Laptop from him. Brand new with even the plastic intact on it.
Price paid was just too good considered it was in warranty
Thanks Doc..
Pankaj :)
( MODS: I am aware that laptop is not included in the rule 2, but since the post was on JJMPF, so thought of mentioning it here
If this is against the rules too......feel free to delete this post or lemme know, i would remove it ASAP )
Moderator Note:
Pankaj, It's NEVER wrong to let the Membership know that another Member treated you very well in a transaction.
Happy day. Henry
I have been doing some buying and selling lately and have nicest to horrid experience
Some of the Grins i remember
1. Eye_TTL - I bought a 17-70 sigma lens for canon. It was one of my sharpest lens till i parted with it due to financial reasons. Very pleasant experience as i couldnt check the lens and it was shipped.
2. Gopal g - dont remember the ID now - I bought a canon 10-20, again without checking. Reached me in a impeccable condition and was again sold later due to financial reasons :-(.
3. NC - need no introduction - he has been very accommodating - bought a flash bracket
4. Bharat Varma - I sold a few stuff to him like the canon 250D filter etc and as both of us are hooked to the macro world so it has been a nice experience here after
5. Sabir - had nice experience of buying and also learning about film stuff. Would have loved to see how he processed them but alas i shifted from Bangalore.
6. Kumarbhushan11 - bought sigma 10-20 (for a second time) - nice communication and shipped well
7. Yusuf - Had excellent experiance buying a M42 lens - got a lot of info on M42 and pentax mount
8. KC - bought some CF cards and later a digital hyperdrive for storing images. Both shipped without problem, in excellent condition....he also helped me check out a lens i was interested in.
9. VikramF - Bought and sold some stuff - both transaction were good and got to know about nikon also as i am canon person.
10. Sarvanaraj - Nice experience buying the 7e canon film camera
11. Manish Bansal - I bought some trix films from him which he came to give it off and recently i bought an excellent condition Canonet GIII QL. We couldn't meet each other but he shipped it with excellent packing.
There are few more but i don't remember all, but thanks for a nice experience
Nice experience with Sridip Banerjee
http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=186
Purchased a lens form him and received it intact in good condition.
I bought Yashica Electro 35 - GSN from TheLightening.
He couriered the camera along with the flash in a nicely packed packet within 3 hours of payment getting credited in his account. I contacted him first so he waited for me despite getting several offers.
Overall it was a nice experience trading with him.
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c97/neelabh75/Yashicaweb.jpg)
Picked up a shoulder bag from Amit Kaushik (amitk26).
smooth deal. got the package well packed & the bag in a clean condition.
Thanks Amit !!
:)
Thanks to Arun (thelightening)
I had a very smooth deal with him for a Canon 1000D. In fact our deal got over overnight , spoke to him in the night and picked up the stuff next day morning. As he had said, the camera was in mint condition, didn't need much of inspection.
Nice to have a deal with you Arun, thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot neelabh for those positive comments. Yes, As soon I received the payment in my account, Its was just evening. So before the dtdc guys close his store, I was able to manage packing the camera and to courier it.
I would rather say, even I too enjoyed selling with you. As you promised and did, the selling was even smooth.

Sudheer was such a fantastic guy, he called me in the evening to ask about my brand new 2 weeks old Canon 1000D and surprised me saying he will come to my place at 7.30am :)
He came to my home in the morning itself and on my way of office we completed the selling and buying and as assured he paid me the amount what he committed.
Again, Thanks Sudheer, thanks for your swift buying. It helped to procure my 550d on the day itself.

Thanks Pankaj for nice words, hope the bag serves you well.
Got two Nikkor Manual focus lenses and two filters from Lonesome (ref
: http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?topic=9490.0 ) Overall very happy :) :) with the transaction, communication and interaction.Condition of lens were good. One of them was near mint and had even the JMDC sticker on it. ;D ;D
Also Packing was superb! He had packed them in multiple layers - first a layer of newspaper , next a layer of sealed polyethene cover followed a by multiple layers of bubble wrap and whole thing tightly put in a pet jar -which in turn was wrapped with thermocol strips and final layer of packing paper and then packing tape. Each lens came as a cylinder with so much of cushioning that a vertical drop would not affect the lens.
Courier used : DTDC (next day) and Blue dart (next day)
Looking forward to further interactions in future.
Thanks to Lonesome for the above!
Bought a used Canon 550D and 85 1.8 for my cousin from Devansh Jhaveri aka 'Devansh'.
Overall very happy with the transaction and communication :). Condition of cam and lens were good, and exactly as described.
Packing was also good, with lots of thermocol used.
Looking forward to further interactions in future.
htnakirs - Good transaction, very pleasant.
Saharsh - bought a 50mm 1.4 Nikkor from him. Although I changed my mind about buying a lens I had previously booked, he was quite cooperative. Smooth transaction! :)
Thanks Pradeep :) :) :)
Rahul Bhalerao : got 3 filers from him , very very well packed and in really great condition just like new , would definitely like to deal with him in near future and will suggest others to do so.
Nishad KS : got a Nikon 28 mm AFD f/2.8 lens from him , was well packed and shipped in time , but after purchase had a little issue about the condition of the lens ( some fungus ) which was sorted out wonderfully by Nishad as he refunded me the cleaning charge as soon as I mentioned him about the prob . So would definitely recommend this wonderful person for future deals and would be looking forward to dealing with him again ...
Recently bought a canon 50mm F1.8 MII lens from our reputed jjmf member lightwave. The entire transaction was smooth and superb. He took enough effort to reply to all my mails and waited for my answer before bumping his sale thread. As soon as he is back to his base, he gave me the bank details and I have transferred the agreed amount.
Before me letting him know about the neft transfer, he itself confirmed me on the same day noon and despatched the lens through a reputed courier. Next day after noon I recieved the lens @ Bangalore from Mumbai. It was packed beautifully and carefully with cushon (thermocol) sheet and with a declaration letter on his letter head.
I am thankful to lightwave(Doc) for tensionless transaction. Interested to do more deals with him, if he is planning to sell his costly lens for 1/3 the price :) , just kidding. happy to do more transaction.
Till date I have purchased two articles from two separate members (one Mac and the other Naveen Bachwani). I bought Nikon 18-200 VR from Mac and a PAQ bag from Naveen. Both members were gentle and honest to dealing. 18-200 deal was of good amount, but faced just no problem.
Hope every member should be lucky enough to at least deal with some gentle and honest member. And do keep away from dealing with newbies ....;)
Hey krishnendu. Dont comment like this.... Even the newbies have the right to sale here... There are some pros working in photogrpahy who hardly visit the forum or may know about it. That doesnt make them less trustworthy. IMHO I guess there's too less people in photography who are swindlers, so I guess this community is pretty safe enough
Arindam, I didn't mean them. Actually I find that there are certain members who never post any images or participate to any thread, they come up and post for selling big gears, lenses etc. If you carefully look into his number of posts, you will see hardly 1-3. I am specifically talking about them.
Sold a lens and a filter to two members - Pandia (New member) and arindam ghosh.
Had a nice experience with both of them as they paid for the item promptly and didn't complain even though I took a long time to ship their stuff as I had to go on leave and delegated the shipping task to my dad who was shipped it through uber slow Blazeflash couriers.
So net net, had a good experience with Pandia and Arindam and had a bad experience with Blazeflash. :p
Thanks Brendon for the nice words! Courier service delays aren't your fault. Had I not stayed at a remote place, you might have got some more courier options. I have taken some shots with the tobacco filter, and will try to upload them once I get my negatives scanned.
Pleasure interacting with you.
Regards.

Had a very pleasant experience with Mr.Soumyajith Niyogi (forum id- soumya). :)
Bought a kata backpack from him.The bag was in brand new condition and more than that the response was outstanding..the bag was well packed,weather sealed and was shipped very quickly....
:D rshari is excellent, bought 2 lenses from him - very good condition - good price points and excellent packing.. .. Highly recommended
Bought a lens from Shobin George. Lens was is good condition, just as described. Had a smooth transaction.
Thank you Rahul for the nice dealing, and looking forward to an outing together :). Regards
Hi, my experience on JJMPF has been good so far.
1. Santosh Rao - I bought Makinon 135 f/2.8 MF lens form him. He had promised Pentax MX (Faulty metering) for free, which he did. When I found lens price was steep, he researched & reconsidered his offer price & arranged for handover of lens through his friend who had traveled to Pune from Mumbai over the weekend. Smooth transition, happy with it.
2. Pradeep Bodas - I bought E-500 from him, reasonably priced & smooth transition
Thanks
Deepak
Had a excellent experience dealing with Sachin (username : Sachn) for a sigma lens..
While the deal was quite slow/long0 due to bit busyness (or say laziness) on my side, once the payment was done lens was shipped same day...
and Wohaaa!!! what a packing dude.. I bet he can do packing job at BHphoto on part time basis :P (Sorry, if it was bad joke).. guess lens got bullet proof in that packing, so that it can ever surpass the blasts which take place in Mumbai every other day :P
got the lens in less then 48hrs via blue dart (not to forget, there are no free lunches, so charges was also high for that fast and safe shipping)
Lens appears to be in excellent condition... Not used much though, but looks like will be having a great experience with this gem.. :)
This is a feedback for member vneevarp or Praveen Vijayan. This relates to his sale thread
http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?topic=10879.msg108060#msg108060 (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?topic=10879.msg108060#msg108060)
I purchased the Tamron 18-200 lens from him from a friend. Praveen took three days of pain to search for a suitable means to send the lens down to West Bengal. We finally decided on our good ol' Speedpost. I asked him to get it ready to ship, while I arranged to transfer the money to him. I could not do the transfer on Friday due to the bank strike but Praveen shipped out the lens without confirmation about receipt of money. Such trustfulness is really overwhelming. He even sent me images of the packing he had done. The item was thoroughly well packed and took some time to unpack >:(
The lens, though 3 years old, does not look so and has been beautifully maintained. Overall a very pleasing experience.
Would recommend Praveen to any prospective buyers blindfold.
hello forum member & friends
This is nice experience just sharing with you all.I have purchased three items from different sellers in this forum.
1. Amit thakurta
I purchased a manfrotto 190db tripod legs from him, it was in mint condition as stated by him. I am very much satisfied with the deal.

2. mgdelhi(Mukesh goel)
I purchased a vivitar vpt 3600 tripod from him. This condition was good as stated by him. it was really interesting,because when he was suggesting some tripod for me,i just gave a deal for that(which was not supposed for sale). I am very much satisfied with the deal.
Recommendation as a seller : Highy Recommended.
3.saharsh1985(saharsh)
I purchased a Nikon D70 with Nikon 28-85 Lens from him.the conditioned was same as stated.the thing is the deal was very smooth and friendly. I am very much satisfied with the deal. It is working perfectly for me.

We've (actually my BIL) got the other part of that sale i.e. 350D camera. Praveen is a nice gentleman and we really had a nice time talking to him when we went to see the camera. Everything went smooth and it was really nice meeting you Praveen.
Regards,
I purchased a 55-200 VR recently from J Prakash (jaypee) of Bijapur... thorough gentleman.
He was upfront about the smallest detail, and spent more than a week trying to get the warranty card stamped for the dealer when he noticed that the stamp was missing!
Finally, when the lens arrived, it was packed tremendously well and had everything that was promised in immaculate condition. Even though I'd wired the money to his account a few days ago, JP waited a couple of days till I'd tested the lens at my end, before withdrawing the funds!!!
People like him make me keep coming back to the forum...
ThanQ Naveenji for your kind words about me. I am very thankful for your patience allowing sufficient time to keep my assurance. For me money is the not important. It was the belief and confidence of a JJMF Member. Though I was technical person of telecom sector, I was a student of photography and the magic box (Camera). I have learnt several things about DSLR and photography.
Similarly I have purchased Nikon 18-135mm Lens from Sri Soumyajit Niyogi of Mumbai. This was also a smooth deal and I was quite happy about the lens and its condition.
I thank you Naveen, Soumyajit and other guys on this occasion.

Hey just came across your post. Thanks for the feedback though i must give you credit too for working around the limitations i had w.r.t. payment etc. also the deal took quite a while to go through but ended well... Anyways i am glad you are happy with the lens and ya it was packed like that cause i am never comfortable shipping a lens or body.
BTW B&H declined my application ;)
I have got a chance to do a deal with Mr.Roger H. Ephraim. I bought the Nikon D90 from him in the first week of Aug. After seeing my WTB post for either Nikon D3100 or 51000, he contacted me by mail with the details as per this post http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?topic=11505.msg114981#msg114981
I gave a try, we discussed and agreed to a price and place to meet. As confirmed, we had several sms communication and I met him in a place in b/w my residence and his. After meeting him I bought his D90 along with accessories and box, the only thing to hand over was the original bill which was in his office cupboard, for which he confirmed to send me a courier on next day itself.
As I was not financially prepared to buy a d90. He agreed to take 90% amount now and the rest in Sep first week and handed over all the stuffs to me. As Roger confirmed he sent me a scanned copy of the original bill on Monday morning and dispatched the courier on evening itself, which I received on Tuesday evening.
As a committed member of jjmf, I have transferred the pending amount to Roger before two weeks of committed date and Roger confirmed the receipt. So the deal is over now and I would say, its was a friendly deal, which was so smooth and nicely taken care.
Thanks Roger for your cooperation and understanding...hope you are happy to have the deal with me...
I had a very good experience from Mr.Chittaranjan Naik.Purchased a Domke 5XB bag and he very graciously gave me his lowepro plastic cover alongwith this bag as a rain cover.A real gentleman.Thank you Mr.Naik
Recently concluded a deal on pentax DAL 55-300 with Ankur Jhunjhunwala (Burzum).
Received the product as described. The deal went through very promptly.
Very happy with the seller. Would not hesitate in further deals with him. :-)
It happens only in India, Member Mayur Kotlikar despatched extension tube nicely packed on the very next day even without me having made the payment.I have just made payment vide NEFT since I get only lunchtime for banking activities.Many thanks once again Mayur.

Thank you for your kind words, Francis. The raincover was lying unused with me for more than 2 years, so i thought it might as well find some use. It was a pleasure dealing with you too.

Chittaranjan
Thanks to Thakur for the lens. The lens was soo well packed that I had to cut the box with a knife :D
The lens was very well priced and actually I reached him directly to skip any kind of competition on buy sell section ;)
Bought a Nikon P7000 from dhruv bhutani , a nice guy , after we settled the deal , on the next day he came at 8 AM ( :o ) to my Uncle's house at delhi to deliver it , and that helped me a lot , i got rid of the headache to ship it to kolkata , received the Camera very next day from my uncle who was coming back on dat very day. Camera was in descent condition with all accessories , bill & warranty as said by him. Had a great experience dealing with Dhruv :D
This is for Abhijit Rao (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7567) from whom I purchased the Sony SAL18200. Not only was the lens shipped well-packed and in excellent condition, but I recommend him highly for the following reasons as well:
1. Excellent pricing - I bought the SAL18200 from him for about 75% of the market price, which, for the condition of the lens, was quite superb.
2. I have sometimes seen people refuse to ship items if the shipping price exceeds what has been paid, until the remainder is also paid. Abhijit trusted me enough to ship it even though the initial amount I had paid was well below what it actually cost to ship.
Overall an excellent transaction, and a very trustworthy seller.
Thanks, Nirmalya. It was a pleasure to deal with you.
Pretty happy with all the parameters - price, packaging and delivery. And I also appreciate the assurance of your personal guarantee for the product that you sold.
Hi Bharat
It was also my great pleasure for doing the transaction with you. I liked your promise that you would purchase the item; you have paid promptly and every communication went very smooth. You are well recommended in the buy-sell section.
Thanks
Writing this recommendation for Abhijit Rao, i purchased the Sony Alpha 100 and the Minolta 28 - 70 f/2.8 from him a couple of days back.
Have received the items in prime condition, needless to say they are as how described in the sale post.
I would like to recommend him for the accurate info and for providing all the related accessories along with the camera.
Overall it was a smooth transaction and i am very happy with goods delivered.
Prasanhttp://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=243.
He is from Mumbai. I recently bought Sigma 70-300 APO DG MACRO from him.
I am really satisfied with the deal considering that others were ready to offer him more cash than me but he kept his commitment.
The lens is very well maintained and there is not even a single scratch or mark on the lens.
Recommendation as a seller : Highy Recommended. Takes good care of his gears.
Thanks Vicky for the recommendation. hope you like the lens.
Highly Recommended: Shuja
Bought Youngnua Triggers RF 602 From him. Deal was final in one hour, money transferred in next half hour and shipped in next one hour. Reached within 48 hours from Bangalore to Nainital. very quick sale.
thanks to him for this quick deal.
Recently I bought a Sigma 10-20 (UWA) lens from Mr. Vikram Franklin (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4976) from Bangalore. It was a pleasant experience dealing with him.The lens was very well cared for and in excellent condition.
I highly recommend him and look forward for more such deals. My best wishes to him

Just looking through this thread we can see that we have a lot of top notch folks here at JJMPF. We should be proud to be in such good company.
Hat's off to each of them. Well done.
Happy day.
:)
Bought a Sigma 10-20 UWA from member JayD last month. I had bought filters from him before so I knew he was a top notch seller.
But what impressed me most this time was that he quoted an amount for shipping which I gladly paid.
When he shipped it, the cost of shipping was less than what I paid him so he voluntarily refunded the excess back to my account.
Members like him make this forum what it is. Thanks Jyotirmoy!!
Although his identity is not dependent on my feed back here in this forum . But still I am posting it.
I bought a Nikon EL-Nikkor 50mm f2.8N lens +
Vivitar 2x Macro Focusing Teleconverter in Nikon AI mount + kit for macro .. The items are in extremely well maintained condition .. Also got help and suggestions from him regarding how to use it ... I would try my best to use them to properly and keep them properly.. the pricing was excellent rather outstanding.
Earlier also I bought tamron 90 mm macro from which was also extremely well maintained and perfect condition to use it...
It is always nice to meet him personally and interact .. I get lots of knowledge and enthusiasm from him....
I believe we are very lucky to get him in this forum and get the knowledge from him..
Oh forgot to mention... I also got a slik dq 100 ball head for my slik sprint pro 2 when I lost my quick release plate of the existing pan head at free of cost... Sorry NC if the last statement troubles you.... I would remove it if u want... But I don't think that would be ne trouble as you keep ur items next to free :D...
Bought a 35-70mm lens with reverse kit from Naturecloseup (Mr. Arnab). Shipped by Mr Santanu.
Naturecloseup for Lens& Accessories: Just like New. ++
Santanu for Shipping: Very Well packed with full use of Mind to avoid any shocks. ++
Highly recommend these two for any further business.
Thanks Vimalji... I was really worried about how would be the item status when it would reach to ur hand... Tried to fit the lens in such a way so that it is not harmed for the rest of the items i thought they are a bit hard to bear a bit of poor handling by the Courier persons. Also it was my shipping so was really tensed .... Although for this case also credit also goes to NC he had magic taped the item so that the it doesn't extend any much
Guys, Based on the thread http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?topic=14648.0 , I got a chance to deal with Mr.Pranshu. The deal was so smooth and I never came to know how I got my lens in hand.
Contacted the night when he posted the sale thread and asked them to block it. He did and the next day morning we discussed, but never negotiated. I was fine with the price he posted in the thread for the 50mm f1.8G and I transfered money to his account in the evening. But just before it got credited in his account he handed over the packed lens to bluedart for shipping.
Bill and warranty card is shipped by an another courier the next day, which I have received just now in hand.... perfect !!!
Pranshu, thanks for the smooth deal and confidence in me.
Hey Arun - thanks for the kind words! pleasure was all mine.
happy clicking
pranshu
Bought a Canon 50D from Mr. Manish Joshi (Screen Name: j0shi) for a friend of mine. The seller was a very warm person and a typical "yaaron ka yaar".
The transaction was super smooth and hassle free. The condition of the product was also very good. All the accessories were given as promised and also my friend's request of payment in 2 installments was obliged with. It was a pleasure dealing with Manish Joshi.
Only regret being that I was not the buyer.
I never thought of photography till 3 months back when a 60 days old D5100 was available at 29K, thanks to JJM. The offer was too tempting and I decided to try my hands at Photography. Once that was home, the greed grew and then I saw a 58 days old 70-300 VR for 21K. That was home too. Then came the filters, spent another 2500 on a Hoya 67mm Pro1D CPL and 600 on a Kenko 67mm UV. The used cam market rocks. Thanks to JJM, I have a nearly new set now. (Not naming any buyers here, but am happy with everyone)
Stats: Actual CP for a new set as above from Flipkart would be:73900
I got a 60 days old set for 53100 :) ;) :)
Hi
Recently I had a very unique transaction in this forum! At first Skyfish (Akash) has posted some odds and bits and i was interested for a Nikon rear lens cap (LF-1). There were two and Bharat Verma has already booked both of them. Previously I had some transactions with Bharat and hence when I requested him to spare one for me, he not only readily agreed, but also paid for the cap on behalf of me! I wanted to pay it myself (just Rs 125), but before I was able to communicate with Akash the money is already paid! So I got it for free! This is half part of the unique transaction!
The next part is with Akash! He not only posted the cap to my address just on the next day, but also took the pics of the parcel and also the receipt of the courier and sent the pics to me! So far I used to think I am very sincere person, but he proved me wrong. So mush of sincerity for such a small item is really out of the world!
Kudos to both of you.
~Nirmalya
Excellent experience at every stage of deal. Genuine, prompt and sensitive.
JJ forum is rich and thriving for so many like him are here.
Thanks Shaju. I would certainly look forward to buying yet another prime from you.. :)

Buying cams and selling them later is more of a habit for me now :) .. I really wonder I love photography or the cameras more .. and there are no obligations abt installments since am able to earn nice friends like you

Recently I bought a Canon 55-250 IS from Amit Kr Ghosh (screen name: mastro, http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?topic=14823.0).

Hello Nirmalya,
I was casually browsing this section and came upon your post today! You never even mentioned about this post to me; now that's what I call modesty!
Thank you for your kind words Narmalya :) It definitely makes me feel good.

Recently sold Raynox to Gaurav Patil (gsp28, I believe). As soon as he saw my WTS thread, mailed me about his interested in the product. Did the payment and received the stuff by courier. The deal was smooth and neat. Thanks Gaurav.
Had a smooth and courteous transaction with Yuwaraj Gurjar (ygurjar) with the Manfrotto monopod :)
Packed and shipped well
Had a great experience dealing with our fellow forum member Ravikanth . Sold him my beloved Nikon 18-105 , he sent the money just the day after he booked the lens and we had a very smooth deal altogether . Would look forward to deal with him again in future.

I have an awesome experience to share about Naveen Bachwani (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4355)
I was interested in Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 D from his WTS post - http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,16376.0.html
Right from my 1st PM, Naveen came across as a warm, friendly gentleman. He was clearly looking for a local deal & was against shipping. Yet when I expressed my interest he was ready to ship it to Bangalore! The WTS post correctly described the lens for sale & the condition, the deal went on smooth & the real delight was when I received the product! The lens was in pristine condition & I never expected a used lens in such a condition. Not to forget that thorough packing & reputed courier agency he chose to send the lens. Absolutely thrilled to have this beauty with me & to have come across a thorogh gentleman.
I would also thank the JJM community for grin & frown section! I just joined this forum a fortnight ago, yet I chose to buy inspite of not seeing the lens, just going by the reputation Naveen built over years & positive feedback he had :)
Naveen - it is sheer delight knowing you. Thank you.
Regards,
Prashanth
I recently bought a Tamron 19-35 from Mr. Senthil Kumaran (using nickname "artsenthil"). Since I stay at a remote place, I have at times courier related issues. He had initially sent the item using Professional Couriers. But it turned out that so called Professional couriers weren't so "professional" and the package, moved around here & there for some time. So, after getting no assistance from Professional Couriers, I asked Mr. Senthil to help me. He enquired, and then found out the item was being sent back to him (despite the fact that my area has a Professional courier office here). He sent the item again using DTDC couriers, and the lens is now with me! Thanks to him. I offered him the shipping charges when he sent the item to me a second time, but he never mentioned anything about the amount.
The lens is in excellent condition, excellent pricing...and it was a pleasure dealing with Mr Senthil. The replies were prompt, and he was very co-operative. Would love to deal with him again.
Regards.
Arindam Ghosh
Thank you so much for that glowing reco, Prashanth. I'm glad the lens found a good home, and I got to make another friend in the bargain!
Hello everyone,
Well, I have to report two grins actually, not one.
Both are for my friend Shobin George. Edit : 3 grins. Edit again. 4 grins :)
1. The smaller grin.
I purchased a Nikon AIS 80-200F4 from him, and it was exactly as described, Clear and w/o fungus. Optically excellent, Mechanically first rate. It was recently cleaned. He offered me to use it, and return it if I was unhappy. I used, and apart from the weight, which would not allow me to make focussed pics at the beginning, was excellent. Needless to say, I kept it.
2. The bigger grin. (should be first, as this happened before the previous)
I was in the market for a Nikon Film body, looked and contacted some of the folks selling the same on the forum itself. Later saw that an F100 was on sale on website gaffarbhai and sons. I knew very little about how and what to check. Requested him to come along and check, He came, he checked and recommended to buy. Bargained along with me, and let me pick up for about 60% of the quoted price. Advised me not to pick up an AF-D 28-105, as it was overpriced. Did not accept my offer of having ice-cream at Badshah Falooda next door. :( Even after I insisted the treat was from me >:( ) Asked me to rush home, as I was unwell, but I held my ground this time :P
3. The biggest grin.
He recently put up a 25-50F4, truly a rare optic, Check online reviews. It was not in a great mechanical condition, You may still be able to check it online. He let me use it, and test it, before I committed to purchasing, and hence I went along (NOTE: He asked me to test it.) I tested it, and found that it was not to my liking ( I have a DX sensor body, realised the fourth grin as was typing this) Returned it, and thanked him for his policy. Of course, it was possible only because he told me the lens was not in urgent need of sale, and hence I could take my time. I doubt other deals may be as flexible.
4. The grin I missed.
He came to check my DX body (D300) with me, when I went to see it. Recommended buying it, since It was used by 1 person and reasonably well cared for (believe me, "one of the rich amateur" that folks recommend for buying from. He also had enough photos to back up his very expensive gear) at the *right* price. I have a laugh when I see the prices of D200 and D300 bandied about in this (and another popular) forum.
Most of all, I gained a good friend.
PS: I forgot he helped me pick up my bag too :P
;D ;D ;D ... You are my friend Nishikant, and a very good person too... there is no need to thank me... and always ready to help... have a nice time, thank you and regards
Name of the seller: Saharsh
Reliable seller...bought a cam body from him...everything went off smoothly, was good dealing with him. 8)
Thanks Maong :),
I am really very happy to hear that the camera is working fine for you :).Dealing with you was a pleasant experience :) :) :).Best of luck :D
I would like to leave a positive feedback for Naveen Bachwani. Very nice experience buying the nikon 55-200 from him (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,16376.0.html), very courteous and accomodating throughout. And of course the lens condition was exactly as advertised - Mint :D.
Thank you for the kind words, Murali!
Bought Tamron SP AF 2x Tele Converter - Nikon Mount from Prashanth, happy with the deail, the item was shipped and packed nicely and the condition was as mentioned. Thanks.
Thanks Subhadeep. It is was a happy deal...
I recently bought an used 40D from Glasshopper(Mr. Durjoy Roy). It was an excellent experience to deal with him :)
He shipped the cam on the same day of payment. Very well packed and it took great effort to unpack :(. Item was exactly the same as per his description. Only the remote was not working but he replaced it with a new one without any question.
He is a nice person to deal and hence recommended :)
I'll surely deal with him in future if needed.
Thanks Mr. Durjoy for a perfect deal :)

Thank you for your gracious feedback dear friend wild007 (Mr. Biplab Adhikary). I must appreciate the fact that you are an Excellent person to deal with. Happy shooting with the 40D, I really miss that heavy 'Cannon', it really shoots!
If wild007 ask to buy/sale something, go make a deal with him, go blindly.

I bought the cactus v2 set from Sydney Alvares, and man, is he fast or what. He shipped it the day he received the amount and I had the product with me in 2 days flat. Thank you Sydney :).
Got an EF 50mm 1.8 MII from Rajiv (rajismine). Excellently packed and shipped real quick. Had the lens with me in < 48 hrs :)
Also thanks for your regular status update on the shipment 8)
Saharsh, do not get offended that I did not mention you for your 85 1.8 ;). Meeting and getting it in person is a completely different experience :)
Got a Nikon D70 body from Shantanu Jha (shantanujha). It is not shipped yet, but I must tell, it is a treat of the mind to deal with him. Someone can mix professionalism and humility in such a perfect proportion, you wont believe until you deal with him!
I am still waiting for the shipment, and I am told to pay ONLY after I inspect the camera! I will update this post once I get the camera.
If you have anything to deal with shantanujha, just go for it without a second thought!
EDIT: Shipped in an awesome packing. Perfectly packed. Exactly as described. And... He is not giving his account details until I am fully satisfied with the camera!!
Got top-loader camera bag from praSAN .... for free....... really nice guy..... ;)
Me too will give it for free when I get new one..... :D
Forgot to post earlier .. Bought a 50 mm f 1.8 AF-D nikkor from Anirban Brahma ...

Bought a Panasonic 14mm f2.5 from neocore. It was a very very pleasant experience. He shipped the lens even before he received the money. And the lens is as good as new. Has been maintained really well and it's so small! Loving it so far.

An extremely courteous and swift deal with Ashok on the 40D. He took pains to ship the product across cities just to have me inspect before I could confirm on the buy :)
A big thumbs up to Ashok!

And special thanks to Arun 'thelightning' for helping me to deal with the 40D.

Sorry for posting it after a long gap...
I bought a Sigma lens from our member Prashant Patil (can't remember his forum name) and it was really an awesome transaction. He shipped it as promised, packing was lovely and item was in immaculate condition as explained by him. I recommend him for any future buys...
Posting this as a vote of thanks for Soumendra Jena ( Soam). I got a long cherished 100-400mm last week and was pretty pleased with his promptness and readiness. The glass was very well packed and reached in a day. Regards
There goes another belated one for Dr Gunjan Puri ( aka drgap ). I had purchased 24-105 from him around mid Feb. It was simply great dealing with him and he actually took the pain to ask his relatives to get this delivered by hand in delhi. The deal experience was fantastic and very transparent. Thanks again Dr. Puri.
Thanks Hitesh ( Roll No 2). I was nice dealing with you..

Big thanks to Kaushik for his excellent help in getting his lens delivered to my doorstep...

Bought a D700 from dilshadnawaz. Very happy with transaction. He shipped it on time with great packing. My brother who got it from the courier said he could have played football with it without damaging the camera. :)
Positive feedback for dilshadnawaz.
I believe he is looking for a D3. Hope he gets one soon.
Thanks to Amolpol (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4246 (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4246)), without whose help I could not have become a proud owner of Canon 100mm macro USM lens. He brokered the sale of this lens between me and his friend Elvin. The lens was in perfect condition and was packed very well.
Bought a Nikon 55mm micro lens from Shobin George and it was an excellent experience to deal with him because
1.Item was exactly the same as per his description
2.Fast Shipping as promised.
3.Very well packed in bubble case.
4.Very reasonable price and most importantly he promised to accept returns in any case if not satisfactory with the item.
Shobin George 8) 8) 8) is Highly recommended

Big thanks to Raj.clicker for the deal. The deal went smoothly and he was very co-operative. Replied each and every emails instantly. :)
Thanks to Mr. Aravindan for a super smooth deal. Highly recommended.
Got a SB-28 this evening from Anirban (anirbanc) and it's lovely. The condition is really good and the item was as described :). He also let me play with his X100, so another star for that :D.
Item: Metz Flash.
Seller: AnirbanC ( Mr. Anirban Chaterjee )
Location: Bangalore.
Recommendation: High. Full 5 Stars.
Received the item on the 3rd working day. Very well maintained flash, looks absolutely new. And packaging was also superb. Transaction was very smooth. everything done on pms and after that on sms. :)
This was my first non local purchase. Went ahead with it because of the high reputation of one Mr.Shobin George.
Item was a Nikon 135mm f2.8 Manual lens. Needless to say, the deal was excellent. Reasonable price, Excellent packing, and on time delivery. :)
He in fact shipped the lens even before the transferred amount reached him.
Highly highly recommended :) Will look to do more deals with him henceforth..
Thanks to following people who made my buying experience great at JJM
1. Anirban (AnirbanC)- I bought some books from him, there was some miscalculation of price. I received the books in great condition, well packed. He himself informed me of the miscalculation and returned me the extra money i have paid. Thanks Anirban, i wouldnt have known the price myself and a major thanks for the great books in excellent condition.
2. Shobin George - I have bought lot of stuff from Shobin in last few years and can vouch for is honesty and reasonable price. So when i bought adaptall 28-80 from him, again i got it, as expected, very well packed and in great condition.
3. Vikram Franklin - Well i am still to buy the stuff from him, but i am much indebted for his honest review and explanation about the stuff. He has been a great friend all the while - it started with a buy sell interaction only few years back.
4. Ashok - I wanted a minolta or FD lenses for some experiments, he dispatched the lens without taking even a penny. However the courier guys never came with the lens - a loss for me and i must say i am sorry to the owner. Thanks friend
Thanks for them my experience in JJM has been very satisfactory. And i am also give my regards to Moderator and members for coming up with Grins and Frowns as i can check here what a prospective buyer or seller's reputation is.
regards to all
I purchased a 105mm vr macro lens from Anirban Brahma. Anirban insisted that I come on Skype and inspect this lens. The lens was in a good condition. The packing of lens was great. I got this lens in two days after the deal was finalized.
The best part was that I got to interact with such a great photographer.
Thank you Anirban.

Got a SB-28 this evening from Anirban (anirbanc) and it's lovely. The condition is really good and the item was as described :). He also let me play with his X100, so another star for that :D.
Hope it is working with you along with the optical slave.....or did u get something to go along with the optical slave

Thanks to following people who made my buying experience great at JJM
1. Anirban (AnirbanC)- I bought some books from him, there was some miscalculation of price. I received the books in great condition, well packed. He himself informed me of the miscalculation and returned me the extra money i have paid. Thanks Anirban, i wouldnt have known the price myself and a major thanks for the great books in excellent condition.
My apologies again....its a shame how i calculated such an inflated figure

Item: Metz Flash.
Seller: AnirbanC ( Mr. Anirban Chaterjee )
Location: Bangalore.
Recommendation: High. Full 5 Stars.
Received the item on the 3rd working day. Very well maintained flash, looks absolutely new. And packaging was also superb. Transaction was very smooth. everything done on pms and after that on sms. :)
Thanks Vimal Sir....glad it was useful to you
Hi All,
So I was out to purchase used 500D/550D (used offcourse) and just in time I came across two posts. One by mr Minz ('minzem2001') and another by 'anirbanc'. I was interacting with Mr Minz and was almost about to close the deal with him, but suddenly I also found this 550D @ very reasonable price for a two year old body. Mr Minz was so good to share all the pictures I needed and the details over multiple emails. Thank you Mr Minz!
So I met anirban over a cup of coffee and got this machine. He was a sport to allow me a complete 30 mins while I tested the body. I must say, the Pentax 30mm 1.4 that he got was 'creame'. I could not get a lense and his was attached through adapter, so I had to postpone testing AF. 'You can return me if AF does not work appropriately'...this was more than enough for me to go for it. Finally I was a happy buyer.
All these two weeks I was in search of good lenses (used), but finally I could resist my temptation and got Tamron 17-50 f2.8 guess what just realised the battery is discharged and I have to charge it and keep staring at the lens for few more hours. Damn!
Thumbs-up for 'anirbanc'

Now Anirban you need to give some big compliments to me as well u already have enough... I guess both of us anirBAN's rock! ;)

You definitely rock! Your photographs are super awesome and so are you as a person. It was nice to have interacted with you.
Haven't got an opportunity to interact with anirbanc so far.
Had a chance to deal with Canon4Life on the deal http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,19580.0.html . A Nice person to deal with, as explained the lens was in mint condtion. He arranged his co-brother to pick the same from him and show to me at a place near to my home. I would say Rajeev, as well as his co-brother, Mr. Lokesh is are really nice guys.
Had a nice experience dealing with Arun. Very nice person to deal with. Buy or sell with confidence.

Thank you very much Aravindan. I hope you will make excellent use of the 70-300 VRII Nikkor. Do keep me updated with some nice pics taken using the lens.

Thanks to Abhi.lensman for selling me Manfrotto Tripod + Ballhead, transaction went smooth. He replied to all my queries and PMs patiently. Tripod reached in good packing.

Thanks to Mr. Ashok ( User name Ashok) for selling Tamron SP 90 to me and also a big thanks to Arun Radhakrishnan ( thelightening ) who executed the sale on behalf of Mr. Ashok in Bangalore.
The transaction was smooth despite slow responses from my side due to work pressure.
Highly recommend both of them
Brought a camera bag from Shaju Joseph, username Shaju.
Very smooth deal. Very patient guy, answered all my buggy question with patience. Pricing was nice and so was the packaging.
Item was just like described :)
I bought a set of flash gels from RBP Photography and the experience has been great! I PMed him as soon as he put the gels up for sale and transferred the amount. I have dealt with him before (and co-incidentally for a similar set of gels) and he is really good at keeping me posted. He shipped it the next day and I had the gels on Wednesday :). The total time (from the post to the delivery) it took was about a day and half, that should give you a fair idea about reliability and response from RBP :). Thanks man!
My Pleasure. Glad to have spokent to you again, hope you dont end up selling this set like the last one.. :o ;D.. Thanks for kind words and Good day
Regards
RBP

Had a beautiful experience in dealin wit a senior member of this forum, Mr. Anil Tulsi (: a wonderful, honest and a patient person....
Initially he was hesitant to ship it and the deal was for Mumbai buyers only. I requested him til he gave into the idea of shippin it (:
The transaction was so smooth.... the money was transferred as promised & the lens did arrive swiftly as i was told. The item was
just like as he had described, Securely packed in a compact box filled wit bubble wrap (: It took bout ten minutes just to cut open the packin (:
the deal was just for the lens and he had added an UV Filter along wit it... (: was glad to see dat... It was a pleasure havin known him (:
http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=5625
Dats him and he's "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"
Thank you Anil (:
Sudhee (=
hi members
transacted a deal with madhav bhakta k.
i found a new friend and am now a member of your forum thanks to him.
i am enjoying every moment of it :)
do i need to say more?
cs
Thanks Sudhee, for your comments. In fact you were the one who was very cool in our dealings, including during the shipping issue. And thanks for not negotiating the price even once.
All the best with the lens, and I am sure you will do justice to the lens much more than I could ever do
Was a pleasure to deal with Akash (user ID: Skyfish: http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7336 (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7336))
1. The lens was shipped on the same day after receiving funds.
2. Better-than-OEM packing (Multiple bubble wraps, corrugated sheets and plastic packing).
3. Shipping tracking number, URL given - and if this wasn't sufficient, he gave me regular updates on shipping status on email.
4. Gave me a day to test the lens to my satisfaction as I couldn't see the lens before the purchase.
5. Gave me important data about the lens and its functioning.
Very professional and transparent yet friendly communication. Highly recommended.

Shantanu
I have been buying a few stuff via this forum and have to say that I had a great experience in doing that. So a plenty of :D from my side:
And the 1st :D goes for Anirban Brahma:
So far got plenty of things from him...i guess it is logical...equipments moving between namesakes ;) but I digress.
So I got a Nikon D3, Yongnuo Flash, SU800 Commander and a SB900 flash from him. Not only he patiently showed me the Nikon D3 in details over skype, but also went onto explain a few features and how to use them. That was way beyond what a seller will generally do. I was so impressed with his professionalism that the later purchases were done just over the phone. I was so sure about the quality and authenticity of what he is saying that I didn't ever bothered to check them over the skype. AND I WAS NOT DISSAPOINTED.
Also his packaging is something to watch for. The care with which he packs his good is commendable and I received the goods in the best possible condition. Of course this meant that I did spent a lot of time 'knifing' through all the bubble wraps, tapes, thermocols, 3 or 4 layers of plastic but guess that's a good thing :).
In short I am more than satisfied with all these transactions and will definitely give 5 STAR to him as a seller.
The 2nd :D goes for Vikram Franklin:
I got 2 nikkor lenses from him. Luckily he is from Bangalore so we just spoke, met and did the transaction. It was really that smooth and simple. The condition of the lenses were just as he had described. And he also gave some very useful tips on infrared and lanscape photography which was an added bonus.
So another 5 STAR to Vikram as a seller.
I purchased a used Yongnuo YN560 flash from Nirmalya (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3212 (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3212)).
I did not ask him to post any pictures of the item nor did I bargain on the quoted price, because I knew I will find the item as new as it can be and I was correct. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to purchase a used item from him. Not just the satisfaction of a well maintained item, you will also get to meet a warm hearted person.
Its always nice to meet old friends and it was the moment of the day to meet you after nearly 6 years Nirmalya.
Can't thank you more.
Regards,
~Akash
Hi Akash
Thanks a ton for the nice transaction! It's really surprising that we first came into communication in 2006 and only after 6 years we were able to meet today!
Since previously also I posted a positive feedback for you and since you already have a nice feedback in this same page just two posts ahead , I will keep it very short and simple.
You are that type of buyer/seller whom every other person will want to deal with! You are sincere, prompt and courteous with a nice smile on your face. When I was talking with you I was feeling as if we have already met somewhere! I couldn't come to you home today for the busy schedule – will positively make it on another day.
Thanks to Mehtas as well for hosting this like minded community!
Cheers
Nirmalya
Thank you for your generous words Shantanu,
The experience was mutual :)
There are times when one has to let go something he/she loves very much and my situation was no different with the lens I sold you. In your hands I'm sure this lens gets a great new home.
Would love to deal with you again.
Regards,
~Akash

Kept the tripod booked for me with just a phone call..always courteous, put-up with my busy schedule.

Thanks Hayath.
Surely nothing more than a phone call is needed to book and item? That's an honest question - I've got something on hold since June for someone who can pick it up and pay only in August and I'm puzzled over what else would be required apart from the word of a fellow JJMF member.
PS: you put up with my busy schedule too, so it worked both ways.

Thanks Anirban - it's just too much of a coincidence that both those lenses you bought from me had been earlier used extensively on the same body you got from someone else. They're finally united under a single owner :)
I recently sold 3rd party cokin P filter system to one gentleman who goes by the name Photo_Grapher (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7150 (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7150)). I had to ship the item to Kolkata and I hit a wall realizing about the mandatory requirement of form 50 (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,20436.0.html (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,20436.0.html)). Upon communicating the same to Photo_Grapher, he took the initiative to dig further into the matter all by himself and suggested me ways in which I could ship the item to him. Since the shipping involved risk, I agreed to take 50% at my end, but the gentleman went ahead and paid me in entire even before he could receive the item through the unforeseen channel.
Dealing with Photo_Grapher has not just been an experience in itself, but also gave me a chance to know another warm person. I couldn't have asked for more in a deal.

~Akash
It was my pleasure to be acquainted with my new found friend, who is known as "skyfish". I am sorry, I am not very good with words, so let me tell you mathematically how I rate him:
Overall rating: 10/05, no you did not misunderstand it, neither did I type wrong, I honestly rate him 10 in a 5pt scale.
Sorry, let me say this again, I am not good with words and my words are not good enough to do justice to the great character of a gentleman like "skyfish".

Yes, Akash/skyfish (why skyfish, Akash?) is a very nice guy.
And, no, you are not "not very good with words"; you are very good at communicating your thoughts - never sell yourself short on that score.
Bought some strobist things from nithin here.All items were 100 % accurate as per his description and he does fast shipping....love the vivtar 75-150 which is still in pristine condition,VFM.I am giving nithin 5 stars rating,hope he is selling more :) :) :) :) :)

Hey, I was about to msg u to ask if you got it ...... Luckily visited forum..
Good that you received it.
Recently bought some items from Nithin & VikramF. Both of them posted the parcel even before realizing money on their a/cs ... Need i have to say more? The items were perfectly described, sturdily packed & were sent through reputed couriers with tracking ID sent to me on the go. I recommend both of them for any transaction on the forum.
But i would leave one note of caution to both Nithin & Vikram. Please don't dispatch items before your accounts are credited.
so long friends

Need I mention a friend ?
Well I am so pleased with buying a lens from him I felt it won't be right if I did not mention this.

This one goes for Devansh Jhaveri. I recently bought a Canon 55-250mm lens from him through this forum. Overall very happy with the transaction and promptness with which he responded. He couriered the lens with only the affirmation of money transfer without actually money getting credited to his account.
Then as luck would have it, the lens could not be delivered to my destination :-[ because of non-availability of Courier service to my hometown. He called me and asked for courier suggestion :), then couriered the same day. I got the used lens in good condition as described on the forum. Packing was also good, with lens bill, booklet and the original box.
Looking forward to more such transactions with him in future. Kudos buddy :) !!
Bought a Canon backpack from govindrv.... Had to ask a friend to pick it up from Govind. unfortunately this caused Govind a bit of troubles :)
Thanks Govind for your patience. Received the bag from my friend today. As mentioned, the bag is in top condition.
Pankaj :)
I have bought Sb800 from Raj (RBP Photography). He had maintained the flash really well. Raj was courteous and dealt professionally. He kept me informed at every stage means before and after packing, courier etc. After seeing his packing, I thought even Nikon would have not done for the new one. He had put lot of foam beans in a much bigger box. I received the package within 23 hours from the time I transferred the money. Overall it was a great experience. :)
Thank s to Raj and JJMF
You are most welcome sanath.. Glad you liked the packing, and the product.. Thanks for the positive feedback over phone after you tested the product.. Have a great day ahead, keep clicking..
I thought I had mentioned Brendon but my bad. This one goes out to him. Excellent communication and good packing, I am one happy customer :). Thanks man!
I brought a Canon 100-400 from Ram Mallya.
Even though he was located in Belgaum, while I was in Bangalore, his response was instantaneous and he was in constant touch to ensure that I received the lens.
Pleasure doing business with him.
Recently bought a Nikkor 50mm manual lens from member Indranil.The product was recevied in condition as per his description with nice packing.
It was a perfect deal...Thanks Mr.Indranil
Bought a flash + power pack from our Brendon last week. Great person to deal with and got regular updates from him till I receive the product. Product was sent through reputed courier and no need to say packing was awesome. Product was in great condition as per his post.
I happily say the deal went hassle free. Thanks for that Brendon. :)
Sold a flash + powerpack to Ajai. :)
I delayed his shipment even after he duly paid the money quickly but he didn't get upset. Thanks again for your patience in this deal ! :D

Hi,
Bought an 85mm f/2 from Ashis Mandal (SweetLime) The lens was in perfect usable condition and he was prompt on Email. The lens was packed and shipped to me in Gurgaon from Bangalore. The packaging was well done, and I don't think the lens moved inside the box during transit. If you ever want to buy a lens from him, go ahead without worrying!
I also bought a 28mm 2.8 E Series lens from DineshKatak. Again, the condition of the lens was great and he took great care in packing the lens securely using bubble paper and tape as well as some foam and small plastic casing. He was prompt on email and shipped the same day as the payment, much like Ashis did.
If you're doing to buy lenses from either of them, go ahead!
Thanks Shiv . It was a smooth deal . I am happy that it met your expectation .
Got a sturdy and light weight Flash bracket from Ajay Garg today at great price.

Would like to take this opportunity to thank Om( om123.om135) for the battery grip he sold to me. The pricing was perfect and he was so genuine and trusting that he sent me the item even before I could transfer the funds to him. I am sincerely humbled by the trust he has placed in me and would like to wish only the best for him.
thanks mate.

I bought a lens (EFS-17- 85) from Shobin George, though I do not know him personally, but could not bother to ask any word about the condition of the lens before buying, because of his credential in this forum. He contacted me repeatedly till I received the lens through courier. Wonderful!! :D :D
Thanks Shobin

Picked up a Sigma 30mm f1.4 from Chinmay ... everything about the deal was excellent - Chinmay was one of the nicest persons to deal with ..

This note of thanks goes out to Mr. Ravi Nigam (and JJM of course!) for the Tamron 90mm Macro I received from him today:
http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,23233.0.html
The lens is pristine and as described.
The packaging was simply awesome, lens wrapped in a plastic bag with a pouch of silica gel, followed by multiple individual layers of bubble wrap, followed by its Tamron Pouch, more bubble wrap, the OE box, then more bubble wrap, followed by thermocole layers in a sturdy cardboard box. This is a lesson in packaging for me, took me 10 minutes to hold my impatient hands steady and (try to) gently peel off layer after layer.
The entire transaction was smooth and painless and Mr. Nigam was ever the gentleman. It was a pleasure doing business with you Sir.
Here's my first impatient test shot using this lens on my D7000 (uncropped):

Hello Members,
Would like to thank Mr. Devansh Jhaveri from Ahmedabad for the canon 60D and canon 40mm, which i bought together.
He was extremely nice person to deal with.
Had asked me to send cheque or 50% payment in advance, but I decided to make 100% payment via online transfer.
And I was not dissapointed by my decision :)
Pricing was very decent.
Sent by courier the very next day as promised with insurance and very good packaging.
Camera and lens are in great condition as promised.
would like to confess it will take me some time to get used to the camera settings :D
Thanks Devansh,
Regards,
Sumeet

I'd just like to leave a positive feedback for Arun B. I bought a Nikon 28mm afd from him. and it was a pleasant experience :).
Hello to everyone!
I would like to thank Anirban for the flash softbox he had put up for sale here. He shipped it the same day I got in touch with him. The item is brand new. I could not communicate with him as well as I would have liked due to my absurd schedule, but it was wonderful interacting with him.

I'd like to thank Rajeev, (rajismine) for parting with a mint condition Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens.
He was very friendly and kept me updated from posting till delivery.
He also had sent the photos of the lens and the ones taken by the lens though I had not asked for the sane.
Had done a very good job with the packing and in prompt shipping.
Overall I had a very pleasant experience dealing with him.
Thank you once again Rajeev.

Positive feedback for Dr. Raman Jogi who is based in Bilaspur ( CG) you can enter in to deals with him in future confidently. I Bought Sigma 150-500 from him at very sweet price ;D actually lens was hand delivered to my BIL who is also a surgeon practicing in Bilaspur and knows him personally.
He packed the lens very nicely with lots of thermocol peanuts and blister paper for shipping.
I got it back after service from Sigma Autorized service centre and now it looks fine.
EDIT: Elaborating the feedback further.

Purchased the 60mm f/2.8 micro nikkor from hpa12. Lens looks and works as described. Questions I had prior to the purchase were answered promptly and the transaction went through smoothly. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Indranil : I recently bought a Nikon FG camera body from Indranil. Everything went very smooth. He kept track of the package and kept me notified.
Packed very nicely. The camera is in very good condition and working flawlessly.
I thank him for being so patient and helpful. Highly recommended. :)
Thanks for positive feedback from Debaranjan! A very nice person to dealt with. I'm sure, he'll enjoy shooting too as I did using this FG; a trusted and fine camera indeed.

Hello Friends,
Am posting here after a gap of almost 2 years +... Incidently the first post in this thread after the mods announced it was mine and again today i am posting feedback about the same person whom i had posted the first feedback..
Nirmalya Sinha : Profile http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3212 (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=3212)
My first experience with Nirmalya was when i bought a remote worth Rs.200 in 2009!! from him and that established him in my books as a trustworthy person.
Recently, he had posted about a 16-85 VR lens for sale and had clearly mentioned that the lens had a small scratch on the glass.. and even attached a few pics to his post. Now I access this wonderful forum through our office net and the site on which the pictures were hosted was blocked and to top it all i was travelling in the hinterlands of Gujarat and couldnt check from outside ::)
So i did the best thing, i called him up :D
We spoke about the lens and he assured me that there was absolutely no problem with the lens and the supposed scratch was not a bother at all and he also assured me that if it was a bother, he'll take it back.
The price was mutually agreed upon (which is very sweet by the way) and the lens was despatched by him. I have received the lens and it is in near mint condition (though i havent shot much pics with the lens as am again back to the hinterlands), but i gather there should not be any problem at all.
The packing was really nice and the icing on the cake is that he has included one Hoya filter for free!
He has come across as a trustworthy person and keeps his words.
Once again.... highly recommended as a seller
And the remote still works btw ;D
Hi Jay
Thanks for all these nice words. I should also thank you for believing and relying on me about the condition of the lens. The lens was really in nice condition and it was a golden opportunity to grab it at a very good price. Before you another newly joined member has also inspected the lens and remarked that the speck will appear in the photos – NEVER EVER! The speck was originally there from the very beginning, i.e. when I purchased the lens from another person in 2012 (I didn't test it thoroughly before taking the lens) and it has never bothered me. We all know about lensrentals.com – the biggest lens rental service in the world. Even they have mentioned the following in their website http://www.lensrentals.com/faq - "Because we believe filters degrade image quality to a slight degree, we do not put UV filters on the lenses unless you specifically order them. Because that is our choice we do not consider the renter responsible for minor hairline scratches to the front element." In my lens the hairline scratch was 1mm long, .05mm wide and .001mm deep; only wider and deeper scratches affect the pictures. I think we, the amateurs baby our gear much more than actually babying our pictures. Anyway, thanks for purchasing the lens, it's your gain at others loss including me – I have sold the nice piece of glass at such a nice price.
PS: In the context of babying our gear I remembered one recent incident. One bird photographer from Philippines was shooting sea shore birds at very low level and sometimes his camera and lens was actually going under the mud. Since mud was obstructing his view through the viewfinder, he was not able to see clearly and hence constantly pouring water on the camera body to clear the mud! I know this is possible only in Nikon D3, but just see how much these professional are dedicated to the pictures and not to the gear as such! The story is here - http://nikonrumors.com/2011/04/06/yes-this-nikon-d3-is-still-working.aspx (http://nikonrumors.com/2011/04/06/yes-this-nikon-d3-is-still-working.aspx)
Thanks again
Had a great experience selling a tripod head to Santro437. He paid immediately, didn't bargain at all, waited patiently as I delayed shipping and informed me once he received the shipment. Couldn't really ask for anything more. :)

Bought a D40 body from Kunwar. Received the camera today and I must say I was wondering whether it was used at all. It was just like a new one. He has maintained it so well. Very very pleasant transaction, wonderful response, awesome packing. 10/10. Thanks again Kunwar.

Thanks Zaahid for your kind words. The feeling is mutual. It was pleasant dealing with you.
Would like to provide feedback about my purchase of a Nikon AF-S 35mm lens from the below link:
http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,25596.20.html
Thanks a ton to the seller @traveller who was an awesome person to deal with. Below are the positives:
1. The lens was shipped the same day of payment and was given the tracking number immediately.
2. Was patient enough to respond to my messages even at the middle of the night
3. Awesome packing, all the online traders should learn packing from this guy. The package was like a gift from your girlfriend with so much wraps.
4. Talking about the lens itself , it had 0% wear and tear. I really doubt if the lens was used.
Once again thank you so much traveller for the great deal.
EDIT: To all the guys who bargained and lost the deal, it surely was your bad day:D

This is a feedback for Francis from whom I bought a Tamron 90mm Macro along with a Kenko 20mm extension tube from this thread.
http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,26950.0.html (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,26950.0.html)
The items were dispatched within hours of the money being transferred and the packing was very good. Must say that the lens and the extension tube is almost like new.
Thanks for a smooth deal. Hope to deal again.
Thank you Shantanil, I have sold my entire Canon 60D+Lens setup to move on to Fuji X series with this sale and you are the first gentleman who paid the entire amount even without a single penny of negotiation :), Hope you use this setup to the optimum.All the Best... :) :)
Bought the SB800 from user RaviS today.
Have to say, was a very nice experience to have met and interacted with Mr. Ravishankar. The item was as described and he even went out of the way to shown me the various nitty gritty about the flash.
Thank you Ravi Sir and wish you the best :)

Thank you for your kind words Ashokji. I am happy to see it in the right hands now :)
Had a wonderful experience dealing with Anirban Brahma. Met him a few hours back in Chennai and relieved a D800 off him...
Item was in pristine, brilliantly maintained condition. Was a pleasure to deal with him too.. :) He was kind enough to wait until I could sell off few of my gear and muster up some cash for the deal. Very highly recommended. :)
Met Anirban today for getting the EN-EL 15 off of him. Was nice meeting him in person and his friend.
Although I did embarrass myself jumping all over his bed as his dog took a keen interest :P

Hi guys,
Wanted to share some great feedback about Shrikrishna Pundoor. Absolute gentleman and true to his word. He went to great lengths to buy me a flash to complete our deal in two days flat.
An all around good guy.
Thanks!
Truestrobist (Tassem) thank you for the feedback.
It was a pleasure meeting you. All I can say is world is a mirror- it is you, who need to be appreciated, you kept the commitment, there is something beyond these tools/materials one will get to learn from you - i.e value of words & humbleness.
This is for Lighwave.. our moderator of Sell forum.. Bought Sigma 10-20mm from him. Lens was exactly like he described..
I got a Nikon SB900 from Nirmalya just today. received the parcel and was surprised to see the condition of the Speedlight. it was more than what i has expected by some margin. all things intact, all pouches, warranty cars and documentation, even the plastic was as new as possible..
Nirmalya personally seemed disturbed by the fact that the courier company made it late on its part to deliver ( mind you that it was DTDC ), used to call me everyday and enquire about the shipment.
the transaction went through smoothly.
Thank You very much Nirmalya
This one's for an excellent transaction with Yeshwanth from Chennai!

Thank you Deepak for such a nice deal & all the care.
Thank you Manish (aadishvaar), and it was a pleasure doing the deal with you. All the best with the lens and happy shooting :).

Bought a ND400 filter from Arun. Quick deal & the filter was as mentioned. Happy deal. Thanks Arun
Bought a 55-250mm from Ashok sir for a friend. Ashok sir has always been a great friend. Was helpful with the deal as well. Finalized the deal in a jiffy & he helped ship the above filter as well.
3rd one goes for Shobin.... though I didnt buy anything from him coz he is a Nikonian :P
But I must say, he is one of the most reliable person you can meet. Very true to his words for the deals he posts. Would highly recommend him for future deals.
Owe him & Ashok sir a big thank you !!
Pankaj :)
Sold my friends Olympus OMD to Dr. Krishi Mohan [id - drkrishi].
It was a long saga initially as it was booked and cancelled about 4 times. But finally Dr. Krishi sealed the deal over a couple of PMs and directly transferred the money.
It was very nice dealing with such a gentleman. I could not deliver it on time due to work pressures [Dr Krishi, sorry once again], but there was not even an iota of complaint in his tone. Promptly transferred the money and waited patiently for the item.
The camera finally completed the journey from Bombay to Mangalore and is in the hands of Dr. Krishi now.
Happy Clicking Doctor!!!!
Thanks Pankaj :) You too are a great friend.
This is for aj04 (Anshul). Bought the Gitzo 3541LS tripod from him. Since I could not meet in person and check the condition of the tripod, he readily helped by providing me all the pics I asked for.
Also shipped fast and was packed so well that I was fatigued just unpacking the whole thing! He also got the tripod serviced for me :)
This was my first outstation buy from JJMPF so was a bit apprehensive at first but this was a good choice :D
PS: Also thanks to Hyperdrive and Vikram for guiding me in choosing the tripod.

Good! Now start deciding on what plates to buy for your camera/lenses. It is off topic for this thread. In case you have any questions start another thread in the DSLR forum and you'll get an earful on what to buy. LOL! 8) ;D
Sold a set of filters to a member Govind... nice person to deal.
Had been busy since few days & so was not able to ship n keep him acknowledged. But he was patient enough.
Thank u Govind...
Regards,
Amit
It was a pleasure dealing with ami21, he is extremely patient as I took some time in deciding and once the amount was transferred, he did ship the items via dtdc. The packaging is extremely commendable as he took 4 to 5 layers of protection. It was fun opening the box. am21, comes recommended.
Sold 2 bags to different members of the forum.
Nitin Barve - sold a backpack. Nice guy. Was a quick deal where we both involved our respective frnds to help us out :P
Devi Prasadji: Nice person to deal with. Was more eager to transfer the money first. This was the first time I had issues with courier services as they did not co-operate to ship the bag. Finally convinced DTDC to do so, but caused a delay of 2 days :(
But the bag reached safe finally.
Thanks to both & JJMPF
Pankaj :)
Thanks, Pankaj. As mentioned, there was a delay in the receipt due to courier. Nevertheless, the bag reached safely in good condition, thanks to Pankaj for very nice packing (3 +1 Layer).
Very nice guy & very nice buying experience. Highly recommended. Thanks to Pankaj once more.
Bought a Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 from Essen. The lens was as mentioned in wonderful condition. A wonderful personality to deal with.
Would surely like to deal again in future & would highly recommend him.
Pankaj :)
Brought a Canon 7D from 'dkpl2004' (Deepak Paul) few weeks ago..
The deal went really smooth..
Price offered was very lucrative. He responded to all the PMs instantly.
Held the cam for two days so I could get money in my bank account. And shipped on the same day transfer was made.
Stuff was well packed. Shipped via DTDC.
Though DTDC blue was supposed to ship it in 2 business days, but like always it never happened and they took 4 days to do so :P
Everything reached safe and was in mint condition as mentioned.
Overall, it was great experience dealing with him. At starting i was bit hesitating as he is quite a new member with less forum presence.
However, having good experience I could say people could trade with confidence from him :)
I was introduced to this forum a month back since I was looking to 'downgrade' to manual lensing. Like most new users, I was a bit skeptical about the 'advance payment process' that sellers usually offer, AND also the looming threat of 'breach of trust', that you normally read/hear about, with regards to online purchases (for used products). Also, would the sellers be okay to sell/ship the product to new users - raised a lot of questions. But anyway, keeping all this mind, I made a few purchases over the past few weeks (from different regions) and I've never been happier :)
Canon 600D from Vijay Rajan (Mumbai) : Prompt communication and helpful. The description of the product was accurate and payment process was smooth too. Gave me some tips on the camera options as well! :)
Nikkor 105mm F2.5 AI MF lens from HmingPuia12 (North-East): Forum member from Aizwal. It was an old listing (about two months old), but he responded quickly and was patient enough to wait for two days (post blocking) since there was an issue with the NEFT server of my bank. Shipping was quicker than expected. Product was packed and arrived in good condition too. Gem of a lens.
Asahi Spotmatic SP1000 + Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 from Camera Crew (Kolkatta): Again, a reliable seller. Answered my queries over phone and also via PM. He also pointed out a 'minor issue' with the lens - for which, he waited patiently, in order for me to do some research on the 'radioactive coating' of the Super Taks - but overall, the product was packed and shipped in good condition. Again, the condition specified and the actual product was 100% accurate.
Tokina 28mm f2.8 MF lens from Mr. Vyanku (Nagpur): I guess the fastest shipping of them all. Got the lens in one day flat. And it was great talking and sharing insights with him. Good pricing and the lens itself was in 10/10 condition as mentioned. Great person to deal.
Lastly, I would also like to mention Mr. Jogi - who was the first person I contacted for a lens. His communication was prompt and he was polite enough to respond sensibly to my 'negotiated budget'.
Would surely recommend all the above sellers to all new users, who might have second thoughts on whether to purchase from JJMPF or not. Obviously, other users are also as good as them - so won't hesitate to contact them as well :)
Thank you JJMPF and best wishes!
Purchased Yongnuo WJ-60 led macro light from shyju7896.
As mentioned by him in his post that the item was new... it was indeed a swanky new product with all accessories. :)
Great seller... Great pricing will highly recommend him for any future transactions... ;)
thank you thevas. its a pleasure. thank you jjmpf. this place is really wonderful.
keep it up.
camera crew
Thanks to Rakesh J V. got a Hoya 77mm ND8 filter from him. perfectly packed.
He had asked me to add extra 150rs for shipping, but the actual cost came out to be rs310, of which the extra 160rs he agreed to borne by himself. :)
he also waited for 1 day before i could transfer the money to his account.
Thank you
Bought SB-400 flash last week from tapobrata bardhan. :)
Offered a very good deal & sent the item in a nicely packed box which reached safely to Bangalore from Hyderabad within 2 days.
Highly recommended.
Thank you Mr. Prasad. :) It was a pleasure dealing with you.
Would like to thank Deepak Kaw for a pleasant trading experience.
After some initial discussions about the 55-300 lens, he gave some factual advice and also a comparison between the 55-200 and 55-300mm Nikkor.
Once we decided on a price, he shipped it out fast, and it reached me in a day. It cost him a fair bit more to ship, but he graciously refused to pass on those charges.
It was a pleasure speaking to him, and I will not hesitate in recommending him.
Thanks again Deepak.
last week bought nikkor 55 f2.8 ais micro from camera crew,prabal
item is as given in description,proper communication through phone, and faster courier,good packing,waited for time i had asked..so a 5/5 rating
will be happy to do future deal with him..
thnx shyju. thanks jjmpf.
Enjoyed dealing with Suman Saraf from Delhi. Clear and transparent transaction. Highly recommended seller / buyer. Sold my Nikkor 1.8 D to him. Transferred the money even before i could start packing my lens for shipment :D.

It was a pleasure interacting with you. The lens was delivered on Saturday (though I got my hands on it today). Exactly like new, with the bills, warranty, UV filter and other freebies thrown in.
I have to add, you were very responsive and communicated at every step on e-mail and SMS. Even though you didn't have to, you made it a point to ship it on thursday despite your hectic schedule.
Look forward to meeting you in person on your next trip to Delhi. Good luck for your future trades/exchanges on the forum.

PS: Need to update my signature with the new acquisition :-)
Thanks JJMPF!
Just completed my transaction with Ramstrong for my 5DMkII.
Very forthcoming and clear communication. Settled all doubts in one phone call and proceeded with the payment. He was very accommodative about the mode of payment and paid immediately.
Upon receipt, he informed me immediately and acknowledged that the box and its contents were intact and everything was functioning as expected.
Really no hassles and highly recommended for future transactions.
Thank you, Ramstrong and JJMPF. :-)
I have made one more friend on this forum.

I am one happy man ;D (happy as I've moved to FF) with the addition of the Canon 5D Mk II to my arsenal, which I received last Friday (09 Aug 13).
To be honest, basically had 2 apprehensions about this deal. one about the present condition of the camera after 2 years usage (as the photos depicted in WTS were shot in 2011 when it was bought brand new) & the second was whether the camera will reach safely to Bangalore without any damage etc. (as it being a high value item & since the risk was with the buyer i.e., me). Due to this I was in a dilemma for about a fortnight whether to go for it or not.
Finally, took a positive decision & contacted Manoj on Sunday (05 Aug 13) evening. We decided to talk the next day as I was outside.
When I had called Manoj on 06 Aug 13, (Monday) morning to clarify, he assured me that he will take care of my concerns & ensure that the camera reached me safely.
To assuage my concerns Manoj even went to the extent of offering to send the camera through his mom personally as she was expected to come to Bangalore (by air) next week, though I turned down his offer.
I also checked whether CF card was included in the package (as it was not mentioned clearly in the WTS thread) for which he responded saying that though it was not part of the deal, nevertheless, he will include a 4GB CF card to sweeten the deal.
I got a confirmation on the night of 08 Aug 13, (Thursday) that the camera is on its way thru DTDC Premium fully insured. Typically it takes two days to one week for the items to reach (based on my past experience) from Pune to Bangalore. So it was a pleasant surprise when I got the camera within just one day.
The packing was too too good. It took an hour to unwrap the (5 layers ) package & reach to the camera box and the contents inside. I could imagine the time & effort that must have gone into packing the item. Thanks & really appreciate that.
On opening the box, I was pleasantly surprised to see an 8GB SanDisk Ultra CF card sitting right on top :o. Thanks for that too.
The Camera looked like brand new (as depicted in the photos); smelt very good (don't mind aping Jared Polin a.k.a 'The Fro knows photo dot com' in this aspect ;D) & all the items were there exactly as described. Checked the functionality of the camera etc. & confirmed back to Manoj.
Have uploaded some photos shot with the camera in flickr.
In fact, there was some left over money, meant for the shipping charges, with him after the dispatch of the item which he has transferred yesterday to my account (though I didn't get the time to check the A/C & confirm due to busy Monday schedule).
It was a pleasure interacting with Manoj on this deal. I am happy & fully satisfied. ;D ;D ;D
Highly recommended.Thanks to you Manoj & JJMPF. :-*

Had a sweet experience in dealing with a senior member of this forum, Ashis "Sweetlime"( http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4002 ). The equipments (D200 & lens) were in pristine condition. He is very knowledgeable & generous on share it.
He is simple & clear in the transaction, easily approachable & lent lots of patience.
The equipments changed hands real quick & smooth. I feel lucky to have a camera & lens thats been taken care so well.

Even I had a very great experience dealing with sweetlime. Very knowledgeable gentleman!
I had bought the Nikon AI-S 50mm f1.4 MF lens from him in Bangalore in April 13. The item condition was pristine & the transaction was smooth.
I was new to the forum at that time & didn't knew about this thread, so didn't leave any feedback then. Making up for that now. :)
Highly Recommended seller.
Thanks Sweetlime & JJMPF! ;D
Thank you Prashanth & Ramstrong for your kind words .
I appreciate you coming to my residence from other far away parts of the city . Seeing is what believing :-) , which makes it easy for both parties . It was nice meeting you and I am happy knowing that you will remember me as someone having similar interest and not as a seller !!

Absolutely! That's why I still remembered you even after 4 months & made the belated post about our transaction. Will always remember you as a gentleman with profound knowledge about photography. :)

Brought a Zenza Bronica Middle-Format-Camera with a couple of lenses, film rolls and hop-ups. Pramod went out of the way to deliver the camera to me as I couldn't move out of the house because of a strained back. He went through the trouble of setting up Skype calls to show me how to operate, load film and the various features. Really appreciated that.
The camera showed up a few hours later and the condition was BETTER than described in his advert.
Definitely someone I would do business with or just engage with to discuss photography. His passion is evident in the way the equipment has been maintained and used.

Bought a Tokina 100mm f/2.8 lens from Rajasekhar (RBP Photography). It arrived today extremely well packed and the lens is in MINT condition.

Bought a Tokina 11-16 from Abhijeet P. The lens arrived today (exactly as described) via DTDC in excellent and robust packing.
It was a pleasure interacting with him and he was patient despite the 2 days delay on my part in transferring money (I was out on a long weekend and had poor connectivity).
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him highly to others.
Thanks Abhijeet.

I've bought an Nikon SB800 flash from Shrikrishna Pundoor. He sent the courier on same day and it was great packing. And for my surprise, the flash looks new and un-used. Really feel so good to deal with him. And the highlight was his response, even after the deal he asked me to keep in touch (we have not met or do not have dealt anything before, not even an message/replies in forum). I love his professional way of handling things... Happy to get one more good friend from JJMPF. Thanks a lot Shrikrishna.
Thank you Ajai. It's my pleasure to know you : thanks to JJMF!.

Positive feedback for seller -"bhatsri"
I initiated a conversation with him more than 2 months back and settled for the lens. My travel plans going haywire was not helpful and finally we decided to ship the item. bhatsri was very patient through out the deal. I paid online to his account and he shipped the item, an immaculate tokina 11-16 .
Excellent packing would put sellers like flipkart and snapdeal at shame. The lens was first shrink wrapped, then zip locked, the bubble wrapped, then in the lens box. then more bubble wrap. shrink wrap around the lens box. more bubble wrap another box, more bubble wrap, one more box and volumes of cellotap to hold the third box. Took me good 10 minutes to get to the lens. phew!!
Thanks, Pankaj :) Was great to work with you too, and loving the camera and the lens!

I purchased Nikon 50mm f1.4D lens from Parampreet - http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,30632.0.html (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,30632.0.html).
Since he is a newbee with only 4 posts in his credit and no buy/sell history, I did some google search in his name, and found that he is working in IT industry and could also see his picture. That built up my confidence and I went ahead.
The lens is just like new, with 2 years of Nikon warranty. It came with all the accessories and paper works. Packing was great and hence everything went very smooth.
He is highly recommended in the buy-sell activities.
Thanks Parampreet.
Not strictly about buy/sell - met Aditya Ecka and friend last Friday, and had a great time gossiping about cameras and photography :)
Thanks to both!

We had a nice long chat on films and film development. The deal went smooth and had a pleasent overall experience.
Will vouch for him !!!
Hey Nirmalya,

what a way to buy lens from a fellow member... trust me i shouldn't have sold my stuff to you atleast.
I really feel insulted the way it is been mentioned here. In forum we have that much of trust while buying and selling..

Your anger may be justified Alok. However, there had been very nasty and painful experiences some forum members had with sellers who are new and virtually unknown. There had been instances of sellers sending out bad products in the pretext of 'Mint Condition' and never respond. When you are interacting in a virtual world, 'TRUST' becomes even more fragile and it needs other ways of assurances. If my neighbour who moved in 4 days ago asks for my bike, I would surely have aprehensions. The trust you are refeerring to on a forum or even this forum has to have some basis. One of that is post count. When that doesnt look promising, obviously the buyer would look for other ways. Dont take it personally. Whenever you find time, refer to the 'FROWN' thread and you would know what am talking about.
Positive feedback for two users :
1-Nirmalaya : Bought a 50mm 1.8D from him. Dealing was very smooth..the lens was delivered quickly, with safe packing & very good condition.
2- Rabin M : Bought a used Nikon D90 with Nikon MB-D80 battery grip from him. A straight-forward yet co-operative person to deal with. Both items were packed very well and delivered promptly. For 2+ yrs old items they were in wonderful condition..happy :)
My first long distance purchase: Pentax 80-200 with m4/3 adapter from iamsomnath to feed my G.A.S.
What can I say? He was more eager than me to ship it the same day to beat the coming holidays.

bought my first L series lens from Vivek and words cant describe the lens condition. Its a very well maintained lens and better than the conditions mentioned by Vivek in the thread (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,30502.msg303066.html#msg303066). Also Vivek packed it so well it took me ages to take it out. All in all a very pleasant experience.
Thanks Rajani Chand for the Sigma 150-500 ..Although I havent seen the lens in person. But the seller took all the trouble to explain me the advantage disadvantage of lens, how to store it and had lot of patience ;D
I know he could have just sold his lens to any banglore member same day but as I was first ,he waited for me a whole week .
Today he handed over the lens to my friend at Banglore.
I can assure he is a good person and a good photographer too :)
This is my first dealing with a member through this forum and it's pleasant.
Thanks lot Sweetlime (Ashish). Bought a Nikkor 35-70 f/2.8 af lens yesterday. had personally picked it up from his residence in Bangalore. It was nice talking/interacting with you. I love the lens. It's in a very good condition, a small spec of fungus I suppose but not affecting the IQ. Very pleasant person to interact with. i would recommend this person to all on the forum.
Thanks again Ashish[Sweetlime]

Somnath,
It's in great condition, and is wonderful for portraits. Haven't tried anything stressful yet.
What I found interesting about this lens 80-200, is that it's much more compact than the olympus 40-150 esp in length.
Sanjay.

It is a much sharper lens too :)... You should also shoot some back lit subjects too. Gives interesting result. Check out and if possible share.

Thanks Nilanjan for your kind words . I am sure you will enjoy this lens as I did for several years . In fact you will find it better for your FM2 ... for film photography this is truly amazing ! Keep in touch .
Thanks to Visiongalaxy for smooth transaction of purchase of Tamrac Velocity 9x Sling Bag. Well packed and excellent condition. As good as new as described in sale thread.
Bought from Iamsomnath a lens and teleconverter. Very quick and courteous communication from Somnath. Detailed emails with packing details and shipping details. Items arrived overnight as promised. Everything was as described and the lens was found to be pristine...as if opening a new piece. Same for the teleconverter. Very pleased and I will deal with him again with confidence.
My only feedback would be to all members who sell and ship items. Please double box your items. What his means is you pack your gear back in the original box, wrap this box with bubble wrap, surround with styrofoam boards and place inside a bigger cardboard shipping box. Use packing styrofoam beads or bubble wrap to make sure it is immobile. Tape up the outer box and it is ready to ship.
This is in the interest of your peace of mind and that of the buyer because we all know how shipping companies can mangle parcels regardless of how many fragile stickers go on it.
This is from many years of experience shipping electronic items, amplifiers, audio valves etc.
Thanks Guru :)
Bought Kenko ET's from Srini (stadimiri). Excellent condition, just like new, excellent packing, and sent to me before he even got the money.
It was great dealing with Srini. Thanks...
I'm a bit late in posting this... but better late than never.
Bought a D3100 from Sandeep Sulakhe (JJ handle - Sandeep). The camera is in a very good nick and was exactly as he described. Had a smooth transaction except a small misunderstanding which he took in a good spirit.
Recommended seller!
A positive word for Lohith who sold me an excellent D7000 for an even more excellent price. Smooth transaction, very good communication and what a packing!!! My friend who unpacked it told me that it took him 10 minutes to unwrap the camera. Great seller .. definitely recommended. Will like to deal with him in future as well.
On a side note, a few lines for two gentlemen from Bangalore as well. Mr Vinod (Hotshoe) and Mr Devi Prasad (Ramstrong). Very helpful persons who wasted their time, energy and... Petrol .. to help me inspect the cam. Through this deal not only I got the camera, but also got three friends in Bangalore as well.
Bought an Olympus OMD-EM5 from sanjay kulkarni. Quick and easy transaction, despite the relatively large amount, and the package arrived overnight. Couldn't be happier.
I bought a set of 3 Takumar lenses form Niftywiz (Souvik Goswamy)
All lenses were in mint condition, seller has taken good care of the lenses. The seller has send them with good packing and it arrived quite fast. I was a bit apprehensive about dealing with out of state seller due to recent bad transactions but everything went smooth. Just a small issue was a scratch on one lens which was quite visible on front element. I think Souvik did not check this one properly as all were near mint condition. I told seller about it and he was surprised about it. I feel this was a genuine mistake and it would not affect images taken from the lens.
Thanks Souvik
Bought my first Leica lens from HusainC. No issues at all. Lens in good shape, extension tube looked new, and Leica to EOS adapter. I do hate the AF confirmation chip on it, but that's just me.
Someone please buy the other Leica lens he's put up - my wallet is getting worried!
Bought a canon FD to EOS adapter with glass from Piyusht (Piyush Tarale). The adapter has already reached my friend...
Piyush also took the trouble of ordering some adapters for me ....I am still to pay for all these :P.Thanks Piyush i couldn't believe when you offered to help and asked me to pay whenever i am comfortable. Very difficult to find such guys these days...ah the good old days.

Photography or selling accessories here was never a money making business for me.
It was always a help and will ever me. The reason I let things go off here is because someone else may make a better use of those things..
And about offering help for adapters, anytime.... That's the reason most of the times to get new friends ;D

This reply is a recommendation for Ashis ji ( Ashis Mandal, forum ID "Sweetlime" (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4002))
This recommendation is special because it is for a deal which did not go well :D ( No no... I am not sarcastic. Please read on )
I went for a deal recently with this gentleman, unfortunately it did not go well. I received the item which was not as described.
I wrote a note to Ashis ji and explained them the problem I am facing...
Without wasting much of a time, they offered refund for the item after sending the item back....
I tried to fix the problem locally, but quotes I received were way more so thought to go by way Ashis ji suggested.
Got a refund note just couple of days after I shipped the item back....
I have seen many sellers arguing for the item that is not as described, in fact even refusing to accept return by blaming buyers about gap in communication. Most of the sellers do not even listen or entertain the buyers and their problems...
First time, saw a seller who did understand and did accept the situation and had shown so much of maturity and transparency in deal.....
Hence, this recommendation is for a very honest, matured and "must to deal with" person, Sweetlime....
Way to go...
In fact, I would seek to deal more in future with Ashis ji.... Impressed with their honesty...
:D
Had a dealing with rrkumar. Transaction was pleasant and smooth. He followed up throughout. Packing was good and camera as described.
Would recommend him any time.

I've been falling behind on this thread.
1. HussainC: I bought a Leica 1.25x magnifier and Giotto glass screen cover last month. Everything as described. Shipping was fast and I received the items the next day. Great guy to deal with.
2. Ramstrong (Devi Prasad): Always a great pleasure to deal with him. He purchased quite a few lenses from me, (fujinon 55 1.8 & Nikkor 50 1.2). Payment was quick and there was absolutely no hassle about the deal.
3. Arudikiran (Kiran) & Malsawm (Robert): Both bought manual focus lenses from me. They made their payments really quickly and enabled a quick and neat deal.
Its has always been a pleasure to deal with Manoj. The gear that he puts in WTS will be exactly as described & the packaging, despatching etc. will be top notch and punctual respectively.
He maintains his gear sooo... well that they look almost new even after years of usage. Trust him like I trust myself. :)
Here's a thumbs-up for Dr. Gunjan for the 4 way macro rail slider. Prompt communication and shipping, with accurate description and tons of pictures shared over whatsapp....
Cheers
Ajay
A BiG Christmas grin from me, owes to Dr. Gunjan Puri for that :)
We were discussing about a thug on offer, a Canon G series which happened to be his first cam. And the cam is already here before I even get the bank account details :)
Happy :)
Thankyou doc, thankyou forum :)

Thumbs Up Ajay Garg for a smooth, prompt transaction.
Thumbs up Dr. Krishna Mohan for a prompt , smooth transaction. He was quick and ready to buy even without seeing the stuff.
Thumps Up to Nishandh M. It was nice dealing with him ...All the best for your ventures Nishandh M
Had a very pleasant interaction with "mm0000" at his residence in Bangalore. I purchased his Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens. The lens was in good condition and well looked after.
He also has a Nikon D90 and a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 for sale. Both items were in good condition. Buyers can be assured of a hassle free deal with mm0000.
Vivekji (Hyperdrive) , it was pleasure in dealing with u, really honoured in meeting u f2f. Usually sellers r in comfort of selling item n buyers need to coordinate for collecting n payment. Vivekji is truly an gentlemen n met me in my office driving all the way from home n adjusting his office timing. Am really amazed bout his hobby n knowledge about photography equipments n his collection.
I have bought Gitzo 3451LS from him. As mentioned in his post, tripod is in absolute brand new condition and am lucky to buy this one from him at such a nice price.
All members can deal blindly n with complete faith with Mr Vivekji.
Thanks again sir.
Hope to meet u soon !!
Many thanks to Shardul Deogiri (Shardul) who purchased my 3541LS and Milind Raut (Milind1015) who purchased my 5541LS tripod.
Really happy to have met with you both and for the hitch free transaction.
Look forward to going on some photography sprees with you all. Best of all I have made 2 new friends who share a hobby with me.
Recommending Milind & Shardul as trusted buyers. Been a pleasure meeting you guys.
PS - I totally forgot to mention Madhu KS (@traveller) who purchased my Olympus OMD EM5 kit. Madhu is a surgeon based in Chandigarh. He took time out to coordinate with me regarding the sale on Whatsapp. Another recommended and trusted buyer. Cheers Doc!

Great buyer. Prompt payment. Shipping got delayed because of pongal week and he understood the same. Worthy buyer
The current (Kiran) issue in the frowns section has prompted me to post in the Grins section & I guess each of us should make it a point to post here as soon as a honest / clean / smooth transaction has been completed.
I've bought a couple of items as well as sold an item to Piyusht (Piyush Tarale) in the past and can't praise him enough. Apart from the need to consolidate our gear, presence of genuine guys like Piyush (and quite a few other members) are the only reason why I keep coming back to the buy/sell section !

Oh god !
Vijay ji, that is the best Comment I received till date.
I guess, my purpose to be here and to help others is getting fulfilled.
I am really glad to receive such a great comment for the transaction that happened almost an year back....
Well, Yes I am closely following up Arun ji's post and also thinking what can be done from my end on that.
But my honest opinion about it is, just one negativity can never kill thousands of positive things happening here..
I have helped few members here, and at the same time, I have received selfless help as well, from "many" forum members out here, and that too a Help way far from "money" affairs.....
And perhaps that's the reason all people here united to help someone they might not even know personally......
So this above essay was to say, its not just me but all such great people out here and their selfless helping gratitude that makes you and others come here again and again Vijay ji :)
We all will do every possible thing to kill the one negativity that somehow we encountered here, but this forum will never leave its positivity and great gesture ever ! Forum was always great and will always be !
I really appreciate your comment though... Thanks :)
First of all i want to thank JJMehta forum, i joined the forum a few days ago it's great.Few months back i bought a nikon d3200 from ebay and after few months of use i made my mind that its better to buy nikon d90.Lot of search got me a D90(on jjmehta) from mr. M.MATHAI from Bangalore i paid via bank transfer and the very next day he dispatched the cam with great packing and care it reached me to west bengal via DTDC within 3days only.I could not believe the condition was so good that i joked on my friend that i bought a new cam he saw and believed me totally.Thanks Mr.M.Mathai and jjmehta too i met a very nice person.
Just purchased a 58mm f2 Carl Zeiss Biotar lens from Manoj (username : manoj). Smoothest transaction ever - I deposited the money in his bank account on Monday morning, and was cradling the lens by Wednesday.
The lens itself is in great condition, smooth aperture blades, focusing. The packing was also done well, with layers of thermacole, bubble wrap, foam and cardboard. Manual focus on my Canon 50mm 1.8 feels so much like a toy after playing with this beast. This is a non-aspherical lens, so the Bokeh is really nice too.
Thanks Manoj!
Had a great experience with Ajay Ukidve(http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4547). I bought a Nikon d7000 from him - neatly used and answered all my queries patiently. A great photographer and I hope to learn a lot from him.
Thanks Sir!

Hey, thanks, Rohit. Pleasure dealing with you as well.
Guys, great person to deal with. Very clear in communication and transferred the funds quickly. Will be a pleasure to deal again in future.
Thanks, Rohit.
Mr Alok jain (profile id: alokjain) from Calcutta is an amazing chap. I live in Pune and bought a Nikon 24mm from him. I was very skeptical about buying through this forum, when i had to transfer all amount after which only i could expect the seller to ship me stuff. Still went ahead with my gut feel and am very happy that i did. Talked to him over phone a few times to make out how genuine he is and it helped build my confidence. He shipped the lens very nicely packed, cushioned and air tight. Condition of item was exactly as he had told. Highly recommended.
Bought a Vivitar 35EE rangefinder from Indranil on this forum. Was a pleasure dealing with him. Was patient while I transferred the money, followed up immediately regarding shipment, article was painstakingly packed and in exactly the condition described. Could not have been better in any way !

I recently purchased a Sony Nex 6 camera and 18-55 lens from slash s. The price was reasonable and I felt very comfortable dealing with him. The condition of the camera exceeded my expectations. The lens was cosmetically in very good shape. I will be happy to deal with him again in future.

Bought a Pentax 50mm f1.4 from Raay04.
Very good experience.
Good communication and timely updates from him, also had a talk on phone and he even suggested me two sellers from Mumbai he has used before (even tho he is in Kolkata !)
The lens was packed well enough and performs good enough for the age !
Posting two quick images I took as soon as I opened the package.
One to show DOF wide open and other to get that starburst effect !
Thank you Raay04 !!

As a buyer, Vineeth was very much prompt and straightforward to the deal and made the payment swiftly. Very happy and satisfied dealing with him. All the best to you and looking forward to see some nice shots with your new possession:)
Two thumbs ups for roni and manoj.
I am just stepping into the world of manual focus lenses and these were my first puchases.
Both of them were patient with me - I needed some time to arrange for payment, my line of work is such.
Both were prompt in sending the stuff and the packing was just great. Bulletproof almost.
I love the helios from roni as it mounts on my 5D and its a great combination for Sunday morning shoots. Butter smooth focus. I never imagined I would like a lens that flares!!
The CZJ from manoj is a beauty of a lens. It just calls you to handle it and try shooting. The reflection off the lens coatings is beautiful. Already got a few envious comments within a couple of hours of opening.

This letter is to share some positive experience that I have had in this forum. I guess I am little late on this.
Bought a canon 100-300 lens from truestrobist (Mohammed). A well kept lens that is functioning beautifully. Item was as described.
It was well packed and with great care. Went out of his way to contact me at every stage. Kept inquiring about the lens even after I started using it.
Thank you Mohammed.
Bought a Yashica 28mm manual Lens from John (jojaja). Again a wonderfully kept lens. Got the Item as promised well packed. Since it was difficult to get an mount conversion adapter locally he went out of his way to procure it from ebay.com because I could not access Paypal. He got me an af confirm adapter at one fourth the price we pay in India.I have received that item too. Thank you John.
Bought a Rokinon 8mm from rajismine (Rajeev Gupta). True to his word. Booked the lens for me though there were other offers as I approached him first. Got it well packed and in good condition. Thank you Rajeev.
Loving every bit of my time here

Smooth transaction and positive feedback about lkpchennai.
I bought Canon 100mm f/2.8 L Macro Lens from him (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,34492.0.html). Lens received as per the pictures and description and is in very good condition. Seller was kind enough to include 67mm HOYA Filter along with the deal and also took the shipping cost on him (both these things are not listed in his post). Product received by Blue dart in 3 days. The product was shipped immediately after receiving the payment. He was also very responsive and answered all my queries quickly before the actual purchase was made. Also mailed me the original invoice and courier stub promptly.

great experience while dealing with pankaj21 (post link: http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,34787.0.html). Very patient and trusting guy. Despite his busy schedule took time to find the courier costs and shipped the items without receiving any money from me. All items were properly maintained and he shipped Rosco Strobist Gel kit for free (ebay.in cost is about 1k). Superb guy.

The lens is excellent and I am very happy with it. He had dispatched the lens even before I could transfer the payment.
He had also mentioned that he would take the lens back if I was not satisfied with it. He has always been a very nice person to deal with.

This grin goes out to "manoj1764" from Chennai, who bought a lenscoat Bodyguard PRO from me. He came across a gem of a person, a genuine buyer, extremely clear in communication.
I'm glad we're getting to see many new "grins" at the forum these days :)! Cheers !
After a brief exchange of PMs with Pankaj21, I bought a step down filter ring from him. The item was shipped even before I transferred the money to his account. It was well packed and protected for transit. Further he kept me well informed through PMs. It was a pleasure dealing with Pankaj and I would encourage any member to deal with him confidently in case of a Buy/Sell deal. :)

Smooth transaction and positive feedback about lkpchennai.
I bought Canon 100mm f/2.8 L Macro Lens from him (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,34492.0.html). Lens received as per the pictures and description and is in very good condition. Seller was kind enough to include 67mm HOYA Filter along with the deal and also took the shipping cost on him (both these things are not listed in his post). Product received by Blue dart in 3 days. The product was shipped immediately after receiving the payment. He was also very responsive and answered all my queries quickly before the actual purchase was made. Also mailed me the original invoice and courier stub promptly.
Thanks,

Thank you Rohitangshi for the recommendation.... My pleasure..
Had a very pleasant experience dealing with LightWave [Dr. Rajesh]. The fact that I knew him from the forum and our shoots did help indeed. A very nice transaction for a very well maintained lens. Topped up with ultra sweet Mishti Doi freshly imported from Kolkatta.
Thumbs up to Dr. Rajesh.
Picked up an canon 10-22 from Saharsh. The lens is amazing. we went out for shoot on next day. The experience is amazing.

bought a Canon 17-40 from SAHARSH, gem of a guy. He drove more than 40 Kms to hand deliver the lens to my friend who was in delhi. Not only that, initially after he came to know that i was looking for the said lens, he personally made inquiries and got it for me without even receiving a single paisa from me by paying through his own pockets. This when we have met for just 1 time.
Better than lens i have gained a new friend. Thanks Saharsh bhai :)

got a canon sx 50hs from member bhatsri. a thorough gentleman to deal with. packaging was amazing, i doubt any retailers like amazon will be able to match his packaging. camera and accessories as described and nicely taken care of. pricing was also reasonable. though i was not able to keep track with him due to busy schedule, he talked over telephone several times to inquire about the receipt of the camera and its condition. thanks sir for the deal.
Thank you for the transaction - and for your update about the condition on receipt.

received Sigma 15-30 from Mr Chaitanya. The lens is in superb condition and its a hidden gem. Mr Chaitanya has packed the lens superbly and was gracious enough to send me the color gels free of cost. All in all a great transaction.
Purchased a lens from Madhur (niftianmadhur). Overall a very pleasant experience. I will feel very comfortably buying from him in future also.

Had an absolutely awesome experience dealing with Sumanta Chandra. I bought his 3 year old X100 and received the camera and accessories in fantastic condition. The entire interaction was very smooth - both on e-mail and phone. He is a very diligent person who has taken great care of his equipment and is crisp and clear in his communication. He had taken great care to pack the camera and the accessories very well and they arrived in Gurgaon safely.
Great experience dealing with him. Highly recommended!
Thanks

I purchased a 24 - 105 mm f/4 from kaushik_s and couldn't have been happier with the deal.
Although we'd initially agreed on sharing the shipping costs, I opted to pay the entire shipping cost since it was a not a very big amount. Kaushik was then kind enough to make an alternate arrangement to have the lens sent through Gautam (who was travelling from Bangalore to Mumbai), I got it collected from him locally and Kaushik also sent back my shipping cost !
While honesty & trust go hand in hand, it's heartening to see such camaraderie amongst members here. Kaushik is a gem of a person and the glass is in a far better than condition than described. Thank you Kaushik & a big thanks to Gautam for his kind help ! :)

It was a real pleasure dealing with Screwgauge. He was really prompt in making the payment. He was very patient and understanding as the courier website was not updating the status correctly.
As a buyer and a photo enthusiast, understood the fair pricing, and did not get into any price negotiations.
A highly recommend gentleman.

Had a wonderful experience dealing with Sreeji Nair (http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=43066)
Item Purchased = 62 MM Hoya CPL
This guy is a real dude.... couriered the item even before i could send him a confirmation of the money transfer since HDFC Bank take 12 Hours to authorize initially. And the best part is that he did not take the courier charge.
Go ahead and do all transactions with this guy....

the Lens is just working like a new one.. Fantastic deal with Saharsh.
And I thank him again for the wonderful packing and taking care of the lens from any possible damage during the transport.
I am really happy with the condition of the lens and its performance :)
I strongly recommend all buyers that Saharsh is a genuine seller and the items will be just as he would mention in his post.

Bought a lens and a tripod from Saharsh Bhai.. It was my first such deal and after that m truly grinning :D
The items are exactly as described by him. I was assured enough by his reputation that I didn't want to check the items. But not only Saharsh Bhai made my brother examine it but also pointed out the trivial flaws.
The packing was superb and thanks to all people who handled it as with each passing hand a layer was added to the package (m that lucky :))
Saharsh Bhai is a man of word and I highly recommend buying from or selling to him.

A quick note about an awesome experience transacting with Anirban Brahma from Kolkata.
I just received the Petzval 85/2.2 Art lens which I bought from him. The lens is in brilliant condition (like new, with all original packaging intact) and was shipped in awesome reinforced packing (took a good 20 minutes to open). It was an absolutely hassle free transaction. He shipped promptly and provided the tracking number. He also cautioned me repeatedly against losing the aperture plates and also advised making copies of it using a 3d printer :-)
Thanks Anirban for this lens! It was a pleasure talking to you and dealing with you!
PS: He has other great Nikon stuff for sale which you should check out!
Another huge grin for Vivek aka Hyperdrive, who is not only a fine gentleman but also extremely knowledgeable about photography in general as has been seen at photography discussions here and else where.

I got 50 mm 1.2 pentex glass from SantoshRao. Perfect transaction and got the lens. He was selling the lens, but his concern and love for these vintage glasses are truly appreciable. He asked me, do you have a bag to carry it? he suggested me to cover it with cloth when you put in the bag etc........ pricing was great, though I did not check the price online, I just bought it and when I checked it now, the market price for this lens is double or more than double (than what I paid) across various sites , including KEH.
Thanks Santosh ;D.

Hi
Recently I purchased Nikon 35mm f1.8 Dx lens and a light tent diffuser from frazer.xavier.
He is a very cordial, sincere and honest person. He shared the pictures of all the items and components. His communication was also nice. He shipped both the items with all the papers, accessories and due care.
I will highly recommend him in the buy-sell forum.
Thanks.
Purchased a Rokinon 14 2.8 for my Nikon D800E from Jogi. As mentioned it was in like new condition. The communication, packing, shipping was all great. A huge thumbs up for him.
Purchased a B+W 10 stop ND filter from Chirag. Met at Kurla Station to complete the deal. His communication was prompt and the filter was just as described. Good experience.

Very nice to deal with @drmadhuks. I have never done this before and i was quite surprised that people pay the money even though they are remote( i did not honestly) and the trust shown was quite a revelation. The camera was sent promptly and receipt acknowledged, this is a first time and very nice experience on selling, hope to find nice sellers when need to buy!

S90 makes more sense as it produces comparable results and you got it at nearly 1/4th of the price of a new RX100 Mark I :P .
It was rally nice dealing with you :) , now the Cam is in better hands :) (At least it will be used :P )
I bought a 50 mm fd from roni1986 and it was as described by the dealer.
Thanks for it.

I was recently sent a PM by someone claiming he was the fairest person to deal with on JJMPF.
My rebuttal is only to post the list of those who were to me fairer far...
visiongalaxy - excellent deal and dealing on an EF 28-105 on behalf of a friend of his
manoj - I bought a CZJ practicar 50 1.4 a stunner of a lens - my first manual focus lens and the start of an addiction
roni1986 - for the quirky and sharp helios 44m-4 - one of the most delightful lens I have owned
pankaj21 - for the manfrotto monopod thats still the one I go to for day to day photos
theredgiant - for a really good photography book by Michael Freeman
pixphatic - for the OM 135/3.5 that I was looking for so desperately
pankaj kumar singh - for a great think tank speed freak - love that bag
debdatta - an EF 28-135 that was in great shape - thats my daily use zoom on the 5D classic
chittaranjan naik - for a cute Domke that now houses my camcorder stuff - you'd never know it has a camera inside - anyway I was struck by the fact that when the shipping was on the higher side Naik offered to share - great gesture!
devansh5 - who sent me the CF cards I was interested in even before I did the payment!
seven.five - after devansh5 I thought it would be rare to find such great sellers who ship just on commitment - I guess I was so wrong - seven.five shipped the intervalometer just like devansh5 - before payment!
pbafna - who waited a really long time for me to clear up issues at my end while I was buying (trying to actually) the BLN1 battery and its charger
fiply - for the truly new EF 35 f2
deepak brid - for the N3 type intervalomenter
ayaskant12 - for a great sigma 30/2.8 and for forgiving my transferring a bit less than the agreed amount by mistake
I want to thank all of the above for their patience in dealing with me - it usually takes me a couple of days (sometimes more) to transfer/deposit funds because of the nature of my work. I also update my PMs once a day or at most twice a day. I understand the world is moving much faster nowadays what with everybody online all the time.
And there are people with whom I did not do a buy-sell deal but were amazing in the understanding they showed.
rishabh - I had an EF 24/2.8 with just a strand of fungus up for sale but later I broke the lens (so much for overhyped metal lens mounts) and had to withdraw the sale
VikramF - when I was looking to buy a couple of OM telephoto lenses he kept me update all through on what was happening at his end - peace of mind at my end
travelphotogiri - I contacted him first for a canon EF 24/2.8 same as the one I broke but I had to back out later
tapobrata-tb - for putting up information on a sell I did not get - but his putting up the sale meant that I was not left hanging in the air like in suspense
lkpchennai - gains my utmost regard - I had committed to buy equipment from him but could not do so on time because my short trip abroad was advance by a few days. Then while there I lost my camera bag! I came back and informed him that I could not go ahead with the deal. lkpchennai was not only very understanding but also showed concern and gave me a couple of ideas on how I might recover the bag. Thanks!
Hankosaurus - for patiently giving ear to my PM.
If I have missed out somebody do let me know and I will add your name to this list. Because I want to. I have only a grins post to show. No frowns for I wait a couple of days for my temper to cool down and touch-wood I have no financial loss to tell of.

It was my first two purchases from this forum
One was ravi~nigam
Nikon 35mm F2.Excellent lense, very happy.
Second was Divyesh
I booked Panasonic Leica 25mm F1.4 lense
I had some problem with bank. My cheque was not cleared due to some stupid CTS issue. And i couldn't pay on time. He got back to me. I offered him to do partial payment to convince him about my sincerity. And despite one more willing buyer, he decided to take my offer. After full payment I received the lense and it is in excellent condition
I highly recommend this two people. They might not negotiate much but they wont make false promises either :d
Thanks vishalvjadhav ;) ;) ;)....
I must confess that I am sick and I suffer from fair amount of "GAS" .... But Please do not auto promote me to the category of a "Dealer" though ;) ;) ...I am just a mere user !!! ;D ;D
Thanks Again :)
I just bought a Olympus Ep-1 camera body with accessories and a 4GB sd card from Chittaranjan Naik.
I thank him for this really good camera, he sent me the item and then asked me to pay. Also I would like to appreciate Chittaranjan for the careful and neat packing which was very pleasant.
It was a really good deal, thank you JJMPF and Chittaranjan.
Cheers,
shrezza
Thank you Shreyas. It was very pleasant dealing with you too. I hope you enjoy clicking with the E-P1 camera.
Regards,
Chittaranjan
I recently sold a couple of lenses and a camera bag to Essen. The entire transaction was very smooth and pleasant. The deal was done over just one phone call and the next day Essen came over to Navi Mumbai (from Pune) to collect the items. After the transaction was done, I realized that I had left my EVF (VF-2) in the camera bag which I had handed over to Essen. I called him up in the evening and he confirmed that the VF2 was indeed in the bag. The very next day he couriered the EVF to me at his own cost, a very nice gesture from a thorough gentleman. Thank you Essen.
Regards,
Chittaranjan
Hi Deepesh,
I just noticed your kind words about me in your post dated May 2, 2015. My offer to pay for the higher cost of shipping was because the higher cost was due to my own laziness, but it was very benevolent of you to bear the full shipping cost. The nice gesture was really from your side. : -) Thank you.
Regards,
Chittaranjan
Had an extremely pleasant experience with Mr.Saharsh Dholakia ,I bought Nikon 80-200 f2.8 D,from him few things make him unique ,firstly honesty,when asked about the condition he sent me the pics not highlighting the good things but the cosmetic issue the lens had that too in close up details and gave lot of insight on the lens and lot of other things.Very genuine and a true gentleman.I hope to deal again in the future, highly recommended.

Thank you Gagan for a very pleasant transaction.
I recently dealt with Aravindan and bought a D750 from him. The transaction was smooth and the equipment was in much better shape than he said it was. :-) he quoted 400+ shutters when it was actually 263 shutters.
Would I buy from him again? - Definitely Yes. Nice gentleman to deal with
Thank you Aravindan
Bought D7000 from Screech. Exactly as described, quick shipping and good buy.
Thanks JJMPF.

Got E-M5 delivered from member 'Shrezza'. Camera is as described and packaging excellent. He went extra length to insure the package in shipping as well.

Just sold off my GoPro to a gentleman in the forum - Deepesh. Pleasant dealing with this man. Thanks! :)
I'm sharing a positive feedback about my deal with niftianmadhur.
I recently got a Nikkor 50mm F1.8D from him. Nice guy, takes care of his equipment very well.
He offered his camera body to test the lens too.
We also had a nice long chat about photography and gear.
Happened to buy what is now seemingly rare - A Nikon TC-14e II from Mr. Saharsh Dholakia. Great experience and impeccable product indeed.
He didn't have the photographs of the TC handy, so he took the pains of shooting excellent High Key images of the same and sending them over promptly. The deal was closed within hours and the shipping was prompt. The packaging was bulletproof and it took me complete 5 minutes to open, with one of the sharpest knives I've got! Thanks, Saharsh! And looking forward to deal with you again.

Thanks Saumitra Bhai for your kind words :) , it was the fastest transaction i have done on this forum :)
It was a pleasure dealing with you :) .
The forum was doing a lot good for me these days.
Thanks to Dr Gunjan Puri who offered a Canon G5 at throw away price.
Gives amazingly good pictures still, always in my bag now a days, no worries at all since its sturdily built.
Thankyou, DrGAP
Thanks to Shiv Nambiar, who shipped a 350D at very much reasonable cost, even before I paid.
Very nicely treated body, all prints intact in contrast to all other 350Ds I got.
Thankyou, essen !
Thanks to Sirshendu Mookherjy, who showered me with some CF cards(6 or 8 of them? I forgot :D) , in response to the WTB post :)
Was a great deal, with some Sandisk extremes in it.
Some 3 people responded to the post, thanks to all.
Thanks to Deepak Kaw for a Tamron Adaptall 24mm prime, sparkling optics retained as new, body untarnished.
Again, shipped before I paid. Gives sharp pics with huge DOF(or is the increase in DOF just my feel because of acuity ?. . )
thankyou 'Dee' !
Finally, ton of thanks to Sumanta Chandra for the much beloved 135mm 2.8 MF Nikkor, AI grooved. The glass was in wish list for long long time.
Picked-up directly at his place, the next day went back to him to fetch a good desktop system, with a Dell UltraSharp series monitor, and two UPS too. ! He spent lot of time with me, amidst an imminent relocation. Insanely good pricing, the whole interaction turned out to be a real encouraging push to my re-shift to Bangalore as an artist.
thanking you Sumanta,
and thank you jjmpf !
Seller: Catmandoo
Item: Sigma 150-500mm EF mount lens
Friendly experience in dealing with him, was accommodative in shipping lens immediately, and it came packaged excellently. Lens quality is exactly as advertised - optically excellent, only mild cosmetic scuffing externally.
Thank you!
Definitely recommended.
Deepak Kaw: Had a very smooth deal with him
Lens was 200mm ais macro lens. Everything was as he has mentioned. And the packing was the best I had ever seen. Double layer of bubble wraps and air proof pouch with lots of material for cushion. Highly recommend. And very nice person to deal with.
Thank you Vimal, had a lovely time dealing with you :)
A big shout out for Deepak Kaw, who goes by the user name 'Dee' on this forum. I had asked him if he had any Helios to Nikon adapters for sale, and to my please surprise shipped an adapter that he had without even asking for any payment, not even the shipping charges ! All that he asked for was my address, and despite my requests refused to take any payment.
Folks like Deepak enrich this forum ! May your tribe increase !
Helped a friend of mine (not a member here) to buy a lens from Dee and it was a super smooth deal, its been really nice knowing Dee .... Very Highly Recommend
Thanks Dee
Thank you Tapobrata and Manish. Pleasure is all mine :)
Vivek , aka " Hyperdrive " : Bought a FF from him recently. Smooth deal........He delivered the stuff to my cousin in Pune......... Very Highly Recommendable.
Actually when one deals with any Senior JJM member, one feels so safe , assured , confident that one is going to get the right stuff . A peace of subconscious mind prevails and thats makes one very comfortable.
Thanks Hyperdrive.
Hoping to get the stuff over the weekend.

Thanks a lot Dr Gunjan. And I truly appreciate the quick decisions on your part. Wishing you good luck and fun shooting with the camera. :)
Another huge Thumbs up for Vivek aka Hyperdrive. As already mentioned by me earlier, not only is he a gentleman but extremely knowledgeable about photography. Its always great to have a chat with him about photography and his knowledge on this subject is absolutely amazing. I recently bought a lens from him and he came all the way to Hinjewadi to hand deliver the lens to me and needless to say it was in showroom condition, absolutely impossible to distinguish from a brand new one. So folks trust me if he has something for sale, it will surely be in the condition he describes as I have personally seen how well he keeps all his equipment and this is not just for all is photographic equipment.
Thanks Vivek for a great deal.
Thanks very much Mayur.
Thumbs up for you too; for your faith in my word, quick decision, hassle free payment & most of all, having purchased the lens without having even seen it. You didn't even ask me for a photo! I am truly touched.
Have fun with that gorgeous lens - it was 1 of the 2 "most favourites" lenses (for obvious reasons) in my bag. Look forward to seeing some photographs from your wildlife tours.
On an aside, I am glad you appreciated the condition of my car too LOL! :D I am somewhat like a 'Bawa ji' when it comes cars etc. :)
Cheers!

Would recommend him anytime!

A big thumbs up for Mr. N. V. Rao from the forum.
http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=46777
Mr. Rao had put his beloved Nikon 80-400 AF VR lens for sale, and he was located in Bangalore. I was very keen to purchase the same, but since he could not ship the item, I had arranged the lens to be picked up by a friend of mine, who was supposed to come to Kolkata. But, his schedule didnot work out, and thus, I could not get the lens picked in the mentioned time. I had to go to bangalore about a month after this incident, and thus I requested him to still hold the deal for me. He was okay with it, and without any payment, he had offered me to test the item to my satisfaction. I tested the gear for more than 10 days, and due to some unavoidable circumstances, the payment was delayed. Mr. Rao kept his patience, and I got the sweetest deal in the forum.
Bottom line:
Mr. Rao had hold the gear for me for more than one and a half month, till I could pick it up, inspite of having other offers.
He gave me the lens to test it for days, and asked me to pay him up only if I was satisfied with the item.
The lens was in mint condition, and the price was too attractive.
Due to some unavoidable circumstances, I had to delay the payment for more than a week.
All these had happened, but Mr. Rao never lost patience, and I had the best possible deal in this forum.
I would certainly recommend him anytime. :D
Sold a lens to Stigy from JJMF. Although I didn't get to meet Aharnish, the transaction went smooth and concluded in less than 24hours. Thanks Aharnish.

Another big shoutout to Shrezza (Shreyas).
Already an active member of the forum, Shreyas promptly called me up to discuss the items (RX100 M4). We had a long conversation about a lot of equipment. Shreyas gave accurate description of the items and priced them quite reasonable.
Even though he was in the middle of shifting his residence, he packed and shipped the items the next day. I'd say the packing was bulletproof ;D
Thanks Shreyas, and good luck in your next purchase.

Thanks for the kind words Aashish. Even though I had made a bold statement of not changing my camera, GAS is getting to the next level for me:P
I must say that the transaction was smooth and very quick, even though I was down with Flu, he patiently waited for me to ship the camera.
Thanks Aashish
Thumbs up once again for Shrezza. Thanks for coming over to meet me and hand over the item. And all the best to you for your future photographic endeavors.
Today I got two Tamron Adaptall lenses, really good maintained water-clear glass, from Deepak alias Dee.
I had bought another Adaptall from him earlier, shipped around a year back, which is very much in service. This time, happened to meet him personally at Bangalore. Dee kindly accepted a delayed payment , a really motivating experience for me.
Thanks to the forum, with its meticulously maintained habitat and constantly evolving protocols, this group is becoming more and more positive an ecosystem for lens men.
Thanks Nishandh, it was a pleasure meeting you :)

Sold two lenses of mine to Natubhai. He was a real gentleman and came down all the way to Bandra to meet me and do the deal in person.
Fantastic person to deal with and really happy to have such people on JJMehta which elevates this forum above other such avenues. :)
Purchased a Nikon 135 DC lens from Kvjrkrao.
I was initially hesitant to purchase without being able to personally examine the lens, Mr Rao being in Hyderabad and I in Bangalore. But after some email exchange and a phone conversation, I felt much more confident and proceeded with the purchase. The lens turned out to be in excellent condition, both physically and optically, just as Mr Rao had assured me. Mr Rao carefully packed the lens in two additional cartons over the original lens box, each layer with more than adequate padding. I can not imagine any rough handling by the courier agency damaging the lens with that kind of packing.
It is always a pleasure when transactions go so well. Thank you, Mr Rao.

Thank You Mr.Ajay Avarikat for such a pleasant, awesome smooth transaction.

I got Nikon F100, F5, F2 and Canon EOS 3, 1V etc. What i dream off during film days are with me now. Just have to take them out and shoot.

I had two excellent transactions this week. I bought a Fuji 18-55mm lens from Ashis (sweetlime) in mint condition and deal went smoothly and lens arrived very well packed. I also bought a Fuji X-e1 from Hua (hfn) and I got it yesterday in perfect condition.
In both the deals the communication was swift and excellent. I recommend both of them to anyone wanting to transact with them.

Very happy with the lens. Thanks Raphael.

Picked up the Nikon 200-500mm from Somnath Da (Somnath Goswami) on Sunday. Firstly about the item - The condition of the lens is better than what I had expected after inspecting the photos uploaded in the post. He had shown complete honesty while uploading the photos. Received all the items as described with an additional item - a new monopod :). Secondly about Somnath Da - a warm and down-to-earth person with whom I was fully comfortable dealing with. Learned few tips and tricks from him and he himself checked everything about the lens before me. He is a great photographer. If you check his facebook page you can find many amazing landscape and wildlife photos taken by him. Thank you Somnath Da.

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a few lenses through this forum and would like to share my experience here. A small overview on how it all started.
I have been shooting with a D7000 for a while now. I had the 18-105mm kit lens and a 50mm 1.8 D in my kit. After using the 50mm, I took a fancy for primes and that is what I wanted to add to my kitty. While reading about vintage manual primes, I came across the Nikon 105 mm f2.5 manual and immediately took a fancy to it.
I started looking for options where I could get a lens in a good condition at a decent price. I searched for it in the local camera market at Chandni Chowk, Delhi without any luck. A friend then suggested keh.com. It had a good collection of lenses – the only challenge was how to get it quickly from there. While browsing keh.com, I came across other lenses and a 24mm f2.8 and 300mm f4.5 got added to the wish list.
I then came across this forum and started putting out my requirements in the WTB section. Initially, I was a bit skeptical about buying from completely unknown people and that too mostly in a different city. However, my concern was unfounded as I finally bought all three lenses from members who were very helpful and transparent in the whole process.
Here are details of the buying experience for each lens:
- Nikon 300 mm 4.5 ED IF: Jaysukh (kakadiya) responded to me on this one and shared all relevant details about the condition of the lens and the price. We spoke once over the phone and finalized the deal. I transferred the money and the lens was shipped the same day. DTDC was used and the delivery from Surat to Gurgaon was quite fast. I received the lens the very next afternoon. The packing was done well with bubble wrap and thermocol. Before shipping the lens, Jaysukh ensured that the lens was working well and even took a few sample shots to share with me. The lens was in a condition as described by Jaysukh. The glass was clear and there was no fungus.
- Nikon 24 mm f2.8 AI-S: Sumanta Chandra reached out to me on this one and shared all relevant details. We spoke once and went ahead with the deal. Money was transferred and the lens was shipped the same day through Bluedart. Lens was delivered the next day and in very good condition. Despite the age, the lens was in an excellent condition both functionally and cosmetically. While speaking with Sumanta, I also checked if he had the 105mm as well or if any acquaintance of his may have it. As it turned out, one of his friends did have the 105mm and Sumanta shared information on that as well. However, during this time another member Ankit reached out and I was able to finalize the deal with him.
- Nikon 105mm f2.5 AI-S: I bought this lens from Ankit Nahata in Mumbai. He initially reached out to me as had a 24mm. However, it wasn't the version I was looking for. I checked with him about the 105 mm as well and to my delight he himself had one in mint condition. We spoke and agreed on the terms. Money was transferred and the lens was dispatched a couple of days later (delay was due to the courier services not operating on Republic day and Sunday). I finally received the lens yesterday through DTDC. DTDC weren't as prompt this time and delayed delivery a bit. Finally, I went to their office and collected it myself.
I would like to thank all other members who reached out with their offers. It has been a pleasure interacting with the folks over here. Hope to be a regular over here and learn more.
Regards,
Amit

I recently purchased a Nikon 58mm lens from Hyperdrive (Vivek) and am very happy with the transaction. All interactions with Vivek were confidence-inspiring. I could not examine the lens in person, but Vivek did several additional tests for me without hesitation, and couriered it to me in excellent packing. It was in every bit as good a condition as Vivek described in his WTS post, if not better.

Thank you Ajay, great interacting with you. The imaging tests you wanted done were interesting to say the least. I learned something new. :)

Basically it involves using a wall mounted target and with the camera on a tripod, shooting that at a predefined distance (I used about 8 ft for the 58 mm, this will vary according to FL of the lens IMO) at F/1.4, F/4, F/5.6 using live view. Then without moving the tripod, changing back to F/1.4, swivelling the tripod head to move the target to each of the 4 corners of the screen in LV mode and taking test shots. Then there's a set of photos of a bright object like a LED at different F stops to ascertain the bokeh.
Ajay will probably explain it better and in further detail. :)

Commendable support, really ! I think many of us (me included) might have declined to accede to such a request.
Hello,

Bought a Canon 24mm f2.8 STM lens from Sunil Mampatta. The lens was in stellar condition, and included the bill and box. Sunil had been very quick and easy to communicate with, and it was a pleasure transacting with him :)
Bought Canon 135 f2 from Tonumoy Kolkalta. The lens received is in a perfect condition and the deal went off very smoothly.
I appreciate Tonumoy's promptness and care in making the deal a pleasant experience.
Just a note - he has a Canon 24-70 2.8 and Sigma 50 1.4 to offer. Anyone interested can be rest assured of getting a gadget in top condition and a great deal.
:)
Hi All.
I am new to these forums. Was pointed in this direction by a friend.
I had listed 3 lenses for sale , and all go sold super quick.
The number of responses for my Nikon 16-85 , frankly took me by surprise.
Many thanks to all who responded.
I see a high degree of trust and professionalism in these forums.
People who understand photography.
A very different experience from OLX and Quikr.

I intended to do this before, but forgot. I bought a 23mm F2 Fuji lens from kolkata member Soumyendras, and it was a transparent deal. The item was packed and sent in a few hours and reached chennai soon.
Thanks, and it was great dealing with you Soumyendra.
Another good JJMPF buying experience!
bought Kaval's 60mm Sigma e-mount lens. It was packed very nicely and arrived promptly. And a great bargain for a lens in such good condition that it could pass as new

One cannot ask for a smoother transaction!
A credit to JJMPF community too!
Thank you, Nick!
PS: Both of us were surprised that DTDC delivered the lens packet (from Delhi to Chennai) in less than 24 hours.
Purchased a Canon 55-250mm STM lens from Ayaskant. It arrived within 48 hours through DTDC, in a great condition.
The lens was packed extremely well. The deal was extremely quick and transparent, and I would definitely recommend him as a seller to anyone else on this forum :)

Even you were quick to close the deal unlike many
Thanks again for a quick and smooth deal
Purchased an Olympus E-PL5 with a 12-50mm lens from Manish. He packed it very well, with a lot of care, and even bundled an extra battery! The deal went very smoothly, and I can't recommend him enough. :)
Purchased a Nikon D300 from Tom (PocoLoco). The camera is in a very good condition, just as he described (better than that, in fact). I can see it has been cared for very well - and for me, it was a steal considering the low shutter count. He even included the manual ( ;)) and also added lots of spares like batteries, CF cards, eyecup, etc.
The camera was packed very well and arrived through DTDC within 48 hours. Tom kept track of the package the entire time. I can't recommend him enough. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Another great experience.
Purchased a Nikon 300mm F4.5 ED-IF from Rahul (rahulgk). The lens is in excellent condition for its age - optically and cosmetically ;D. One of my friends was travelling to Kochi and Rahul was gracious enough to hold the lens for a few weeks and even delivered it to the railway station :D. Further, he kept track of it till I received the lens and tested it out.
Would highly recommend him. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Had a nice experience dealing with the seller Ganesh from whom I purchased Canon 24-105 lens. The seller's thread is below:
http://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,55973.0.html
Thanks for honesty and sincerity.
I have had excellent experience dealing with @sidbarett. Over last few weeks I have bought from him the following in multiple transactions:
a. Couple of generic np-fw50 batteries and dual battery charger
b. The metabones EF to E adapter
c. The L plate for Sony Alpha 7 mark II
I have had a very pleasant and satisfying buying experience with him.
Bought a set of Minolta AF lenses from Chandan Sarkar and it was an amazing quick deal. All items
received as described. Great packing, safe and quick.
A member I would very highly recommond to buy or sell :)

Purchased a Nikon TC from Ayaz (theqca). It is in very good condition optically as stated and was packed well. A very pleasant experience :D
Purchased a Tokina 12-28 from Mr Patil. He took pains to pack the lens thoroughly, and the lens is better than described (Almost new condition).
Thank you very much, and a pleasure talking to you.
Thank you, sir. Glad it reached you safely.
Happy Shooting !
Purchased a Nikon BR-2A from Madhav Bhakta. Received it in mint condition. Highly recommended ;D
Purchased an Industar collapsible 50mm from indiain35mm. Very nice condition. Excellent packing. Very prompt shipping and delivery by Professional courior.
Lens is in real good condition.
Very nice human to deal with.
Thank you indiain35mm.
I too had a great transaction with Aditya (lndiain35mm).
He is a knowledgeable person and goes the extra mile to make the transaction super smooth. He clarified all my doubts before shipping the T1i.
Highly recommended as a seller.
Have to post about this one.
Purchased a Nikon SB600 from Parampreet Dhatt at a great price. The flash looks and works almost like a new one. Prompt shipping by Bluedart and Parampreet also offered to split the shipping fees. The packing was outstanding to say the least with multiple layers of bubble wrap.
Highly recommended and a five grin deal ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Purchased a Lowepro Fastpack 250 from Nachiketa (Atekihcan). A great and transparent deal. Since we were both in Bangalore, he suggested that we meet halfway and made time for it before office hours.
When I reached out to him, he offered some free flash accessories and also included a square filter holder with filters (he had posted them as freebies with another WTS post and I had enquired about them). A very satisfying experience and I can't recommend him enough. :D

I hope you'll find better use for the bag and all those accessories than me.

Purchased the legendary Minolta 50MM 1.4 from Vinay (Pune) https://jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=47090
Item is exactly as described, he went the extra mile to pack it safely and even threw in a vintage lens box as a goodie which was not part of the advertisement.
Super happy with this transaction and I am glad that I found JJMehta forum.
Purchased a Vanguard BH-100 head from SYDBARRET (https://jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=48633)
It was a breeze doing the transaction and the item was unused as he described. I have made it a habit to check his posts now to see if he is selling anything in my budget ;D
Bought a MC11 adapter from Santosh(santoshvk). The transaction was a breeze. Although the mc11 is a non fragile item, it was very carefully packed. The adapter itself was in pristine condition. Santosh was also tracking the package and updating me from time to time. It was great dealing with him.
Item - Samyang FE 18mm F2.8 E Mount Lens
From - SYDBARRET (https://jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=48633)
I was so confident after our last transaction that I ordered the item without checking the pics (we both forgot actually :D). But, it is was he described. Well maintained, in mint condition and packed very safely.
Must say, I am going to check his posts whenever my piggybank has some dough. 8)

Thanks for the generous feedback Devan :) It was a pleasure dealing with you. Those quick closures really helped. Hope you enjoy the gear :)
Purchased a D70S from deepesh. I wanted the sensor for a DIY project and he was kind enough to offer a perfectly working body at a very good price. He shipped it to me and refused to take the payment until I received the body and was satisfied with it (Indian post took a long time but came around in the end ;D). Thanks for the great experience :D
I recently purchased Nikon 300 f4E VR and TC 1.4 III from Sridhar (Sridharr72). Received the lens and TC in outstanding condition. Entire transaction was very smooth and lots of communications.

Sold my Rokinon 12mm to Vineet [ID - vineet_k]. Although he was based in Delhi and I in Bombay, we met at Kasauli and did the deal in person. Was a pleasure dealing with him.
Purchased a Helios 44M from Karansinh. Lens is in excellent condition given its age (the pics on the WTS thread did not do it justice) :D
Purchased a Powerpak Monopod from Neerav. Met him personally and picked up the Monopod. Want to state that the Monopod is in excellent condition, as good as new.

Great deal indeed. Thanks Neerav.

Bought Nikon DX 35mm F1.8 from @Dr.Devesh , Nice guy, excellent packing and smooth and transparent deal.
Purchased a Fuji X-T1 from N V Rao.
I wanted to try a mirrorless (I'm still one of those Nikon guys) and on searching the forum, found this X-T1 whose sale had been withdrawn. Nevertheless, I reached out to him and found it was still available subject to a personal inspection. Luckily, we were able to meet nearby and had a long chat while I put it through the works. He also let me borrow one of his lenses for that. He was really transparent about the camera and its extremely minor imperfections. For the price, it is a steal :D
Excellent experience! Thanks NV - and thank you JJMF ;D

Hi all,
I recently bought sony 16-50 kit lens for my sony A6300 from my respectful friend Mr. Abhijit the quasi (quasibaba)(https://jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=7567)
I am very new to this community and never tread anything here, But in our very first conversation with Mr. Abhijit the quasi went very well. He is super active and clearly answered to all my question. Instantly he earned my trust, and I am ready to pay for the lens but still he arranged the video call to show the lens. We had a call, and he showed the lens and also his other collections of lenses, I was impressed about how good he is maintaining the lenses in glass jar. Then I paid immediately and he shipped it quickly through DTDC (Pune to Tamilnadu). I received it in just 2 days, the condition of the lens is literally new.
I would rate 5/5 to Mr. Abhijit the quasi as a seller.
Thank you brother,
Regards,
Happy buyer Vicky :)
Hi All,

Overall a wonderful experience purchasing from him and I strongly recommend him as a seller on this forum.
Thanks Guru!

Passionate, knowledgeable AND generous with both his time and knowledge. Thanks to him, I've learned in a few days what I may have taken a month to learn on my own.

I have just received the Nikon Quick Charger MH-21 with the Nikon EN-EL4 battery from a senior member Mr. Kher.
He despatched the well-packed items on the same day I made the online payment.
Earlier, when I expressed interest in the items, he reduced the price for me. He called me up and after the conversation, he further decided to forgo the shipping charges.
The items are in excellent shape and I am grateful to JJMPF for my being able to go ahead with this excellent deal. I would happily recommend others who intend to make
a purchase from Mr. Kher to go ahead with full confidence.

Hi Guys,
Bought a Nikkor 135mm F2 DC from Ronak P from JJMF. He had given clear details of the item, and had committed that it is mint condition.
We exchanged a lot of messages, pictures of the lens itself and he duly had shared couple of pics that he had taken with the lens to me( Jpegs).
The lens looked as described and I trust the Screw Driver Autofocus lenses from Nikon to perform for Years unless they are opened up or repaired. So that was not a big botheration in the deal.
What mattered to me was the transparency, ease of communication and the shipping.
1. Ronak did his best and really helped me with the deal smoothly.
2. Packing and Shipping was A+.
3. Unfortunately, my new body was yet to arrive and I could only do a sample test of the lens today. Initial pics from lens are SHARP as a Samurai Sword even at F2( expected from this lens). The lens AF, DC Ring, Aperture ring, MF Ring and contact points all are functional on first use. The lens is as described in MINT CONDITION. I would rate it 9.99/10, only due to a faint paint chip off on the hood which is not his fault. Nikon metal hoods of AFD lenses are notorious for this paint chip off over age.
4. It was a pleasure and hassle free experience to deal with him. And I would certainly consider recommend other members to buy or sell to him with good faith and trust.
Thanks Ronak, Hope the lens works flawlessly in the coming days that I put it to test. Lovely dealing with you.
Regards
RBP
Thanks for your kind feedback Raj

I Just Bought a Nikon Body from Saharsh and it was an amazing quick deal. I got a freebie Flash also.
All items received as described. Great packing, safe and quick.
Highly recommend others who intend to make
a purchase from Mr.Saharsh to go ahead with full confidence.
Thank you Saharsh Bhai!
You are welcome Aravindan Bhai :) :) :) . it was a pleasure dealing with you Bhai :) .
You are very humble and polite :) , you waited patiently for me as I couldn't ship it due to Covid restrictions :)
I bought a Nikon body and two Nikkor lenses from Saharsh. He was gracious enough to give me some freebies too, apart from a very good deal.
All items received as described. Excellent packing to the extent that I had to spend some time on opening the package!
Once we had finalised the deal, he was kind enough to keep updating me, with pictures of the items and the progress in shipping the items,
as the lockdown was in effect.
Would happily recommend others who intend to get anything from Saharsh - GO AHEAD!
Thank you Saharsh and JJMPF.
Thanks You Natarajan Sir :) :) :).
It was pleasure dealing with you :) . I know Natarajan Sir since 2010 , he is one of the oldest and most trustworthy guys of the Forum 8).
Sir Special Thanks to you for patiently waiting for nearly 20 days after transferring the funds . Due to Covid restrictions I was not able to ship the parcel >:( . I really appreciate your humbleness and patience 8) . Those Freebies were just a token of appreciation from my side :D
Regards,
Saharsh :D
Purchased a Raynox DCR 250 from Mr. Venu Gopal (@visualsymphony). The transaction was seamless and the item was exactly as described and well packed as well.
I look forward to dealing with him again. Thanks a lot Venuji :)
I bought a 24 - 105 Canon lens from gsferrari (Guru)
The transaction process was transparent and smooth. Guru sent me detailed video of the lens which helped me take a decision since this was a transaction across cities.
The lens was packed very nicely, and the cover for both the lens and the filter were included - which shows the attention to detail and the care of equipment that Guru takes.
It was a great experience interacting with Guru!

No muss...No fuss. Fast transaction only held up at my end to shoot a video of the insides of the lens. Payment was prompt as well. Pleasure dealing with Mr. Simran.
I bought Sigma MC 11 from gsferrari on Monday.
Quick shipping. Good packaging. Got it today.
Transparent dealing. Pleasure dealing with him.
May his tribe increase!

Buyer: GSFerarri.
It was a Suzuki type deal with Guru. Smooth. Prompt.
Thanks forum.
Picked up an IR modded A6500 & a Sigma MC11 adapter from Guru (gsferrari) a couple of days ago. He was nice enough to answer some elementary questions about IR photography and the gear required for the same since I am new to this domain of photography. The items were promptly shipped immediately once the payment was made. All the items were extremely well packed and reached me safely. All the items were in fantastic/like new condition which was much to my satisfaction.
I highly recommend Guru as a seller for his excellent transparency, willingness to answer questions and extremely fair pricing. I have only good things to say! I'm super excited to finally start on my IR journey :)
Great transaction with Indiain35mm / Aditya. Reminiscent of my transactions in USA. Zero fuss, no delays, no indecision and thank you for trusting me to deliver on-time with the item as described! It truly means a lot.

I Bought Sigma 40mm 1.4 from @gsferrari. The lens as in 100% new condition, quite unused. The deal was smooth and shipping was fast. All original accessories included. The price was really good. The lens is outstanding. I didn't want to invest in EF lens anymore but 40mm 1.4 is a different league. Thanks for a good deal.
Got the Canon 100mm F/2.8 Macro USM Lens from gsferrari (Mr.Gurushankar) who is a thorough gentleman. It was a very pleasant experience dealing with him. The lens is in excellent condition. He took exceptional care to pack and ship the lens. Thank you for an excellent lens.
Picked up Lowepro Lens Bags from Uneo.
Even though Uttam had mentioned No shipping in the listing, he agreed to ship to my city. He took time to pack it very neatly and shipped it via DTDC at buyers cost.
Smooth transaction. Received the parcel today, yet to test and check it. Thanks to Uttam for a good deal.
Bought the Nikon 2x TC III from Hyperdrive.
This person is a gentleman. He means it when he says it's as good as new condition. Received the item in orginal box packing and in box condition. The deal was smooth, hassle free and he was a fine person to deal with.
Really appreciate the packing too.
For anyone wanting to buy from him, I suggest to get on call and talk to him. He likes to keep things short and precise.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks Raj, it was a pleasure dealing with you. And BTW I always have time for my friends from JJPMF. Yes I am not very active on the forum anymore but the photography bug that bit me in my childhood still hasn't left me. May be a mirrorless (or two!) will kickstart the passion again. ;D 8)
Raj is a great buyer - quick deal and no BS which I liked. He knows what he wants. Highly recommended. Now, contrast that with some people who mistakenly believe contacting me about my gear is akin to the manner in which a buyer and vendor discuss price in a local produce market. Now, that's disappointing to say the least. I expect some finesse in communications. Seriously! ::)
Cheers Raj..we'll be in touch. TC! :)
Bought a Sigma 35mm 1.4 Nikon F mount lens from RBP Photography (Raj). This is my first purchase on this forum. It was overall a great experience. Raj described the lens accurately and was willing to share pictures and videos of the lens to help me feel confident about buying remotely. The lens was also packaged very well and shipped in time. I've been enjoying the lens over the past couple of weeks. Thanks Raj.
Hi.

Hello
I bought a Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM from Saharsh. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with him. We exchanged a lot of phone calls and he took time to answer all my queries, send photos of the lens and photos taken with the lens.
I had a bit of urgency on my end and he took care of shipping it out extremely fast with priority shipping (at his own expense). The lens and a few filters arrived today in great condition.
The entire process was extremely hassle-free and he kept me informed throughout the way. Thanks a lot Saharsh and JJMPF for helping me get my first L lens. Hope to put it to some good use soon :)

Purchased a MeFOTO tripod from Santosh (santoshvk). Being located nearby, we were able to meet in person and do the exchange. Prior to that, he called me up to explain about the product (lest there were any misunderstandings as it's a mini tripod and not a full tripod). But it was exactly what I was looking for and in brand new condition at a very attractive price.
Thanks Santosh for the great experience ;D
Pleasure dealing with you too Arun(arunraj). Quick sync-up and meeting to complete the deal.
Bought a Magmod professional kit from Forum member Krish Chandan and it was the best packaging one could ever wish to receive. He also made sure that the package reached on time by personally emailing the courier when it faced some delay. Got my package on time too all thanks to him. It was a pleasure doing business with him. Cheers!! :)

Just purchased a Nikon Z5 from Ronak_p and it was a great, hassle-free experience. He was very comfortable to have a conversation with and took great care to parcel and ship the camera to me in a matter of days. He shared videos upon request so I could inspect the Z5. I paid the cost up front as agreed and had no reason for worry. The camera is in excellent condition as promised and well taken care of. Includes all the bills, accessories, warranty etc. Many thanks, was a pleasure. Cheers! :)
I picked up a B&W CPL from Mr. Krish Chandran and the transaction was absolutely effortless.
1. He sent me videos of the item to show there are no scratches as I had concerns.
2. The packaging was so well done, item arrived with no damage.
3. He threw in a set of step-up rings as promised.
4. The item was shipped as per my availability.
Great support offered by him, it is a definitive GRIN from me :)
Had an awesome deal with member Mr Deepesh Kenwar for a Canon G16. Apart from the pics he also sent me videos of the charger working. Apart from this, he also did not accept payment till I received the cam and tested it to my satisfaction. As I told him that a bag for the cam would be preferable, he has now gone to the extent of ordering a bag in order to send me. Packing was very well done and the item was sent by DTDC's premium service.
Definitely recommended and a big grin :) from my side.
Had an easy and smooth deal with NeViLLe. Everything was as described. Very quick shipping also and packing was very good. Highly Recommended.
Some experience as above with Anu Raj. Very helpful person.
Very smooth deal with @ktspicture ! Bought a Helios 44-2 from him. He packed it very safely and shipped it promptly since I was leaving town soon. The lens reached me within one day and its condition is even better than described I would say. Thank you for the quick and hassle free transaction!
Natubhai, a senior member of the forum has recently sold a Nikon Manual lens. It was a pleasure to deal with a thorough gentleman who answered all queries patiently. The item was received with really good packing and it is a gem of a lens. A joyful transaction in every aspect.
Bought a godox strip soft box from RBP (Rajasekhar Pai). Item was new and unused (as described) and professionally packed. Good deal for me plus a smooth transaction.
Recently bought a gimbal head for my wildlife needs from a fellow member Krish chandran sir.. he gave perfect description of the item and we had smooth deal.. special thanks for all the time he took to explain its setup and handling ..and other practical advice from his experience.. pleasure knowing him thru this forum :-)

Bought a Canon 24-105 f/4 L IS lens from camera crew, my first purchase on JJMPF and a pleasant one. The seller replied to all my queries & requests promptly and had a smooth deal, also camera crew took extra effort to send it through courier I preferred. The packing was good and the lens is in Mint condition with the original hood (which was not part of the deal when we started the discussion).
Thank You camera crew and JJMPF

Product: Fujifilm XF 18-55mm F2.8-4
Seller: Camera Crew
I had purchased a Fujifilm XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 through a WTB post here on JJMF in March. I received a fair offer from the member Camera Crew based in Kolkata. The transaction was smooth since the seller was very responsive. I received the product soon after. Although he initially forgot to ship the lens hood with the package, it was sent separately later without any additional expense from my end. Overall it was a very good experience, Thank you Camera Crew.
It was wonderful to do the transaction with ajaivasudeve
I am happy he is enjoying the Lens and photography.
I had forgotten to send the lens hood and later shipped it almost 2months later. The buyer kept patience and I am thankful to him.
May the spirit of photographers brotherhood in the forum prevail.
Thank you JJMPF once more.
I would like to share my experience with the seller tomdxb.
He is a perfectionist. I replied to his ptost SB910 Nikon flash and we talked a little.
When the deal is finalised with couple more items from his list, he quickly sent me a very professional invoice with his details.
They are so perfect that I was very much impressed. After that he shipped the items and sent me every phase of packing in the form of photo proofs.
The next day when the pickup man is picking up from his place, he also sent me notifications with WhatsApp.
The goods are,,, oh my god, like a new , really new conditions. Not a tiniest glitch in them.
I very much recommend dealing with this gentle man. He is perfect. A man of word. Very happy customer I am.

Kudos to STREETLIFE for being super thorough with the entire transaction.
He was patient with answering multiple queries and even shared layer by layer images of packaging. A straightforward, no hassle and genuine deal.
The Fujifilm XT10 I purchased turned out to be as mint as he had mentioned.
He even followed up if the item had arrived safely.
We need more folks like you bro!
All the best and Thank you so much!

Recently bought a GH5 and Oly 12-40 from Ganesh (pk5user). Camera and lens are in mint condition as described.
As we were both apprehensive about shipping it, he was kind and gracious enough to hand it over to my dad at the Chennai airport.
We also had a couple of calls to discuss general photography stuff as well. Great experience, would like to meet in person in the future if possible.
Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback Arun. It was an absolute pleasure getting to know you and dealing with you. Knowing a couple of bad deliveries happening by dtdc courier recently, how can I not hand over the camera kit directly when somebody known to you is coming to your place which ensures safe transfer of items of high value-It is the least I can do.
And especially so since Arun did not even discuss anything to reduce my price and also promply paid the agreed amount immediately. When you know you have good gear and wanting to sell it for upgrading you are apprehensive and hopeful about getting a good price. Meeting our needs and discussing our passions with respect to photography with like minded people can only happen with a forum like this and I am grateful to JJforum for making it happen to find friends like Arun and many others.

Thank you so much for the positive feedback!
Recently bought a used Nikon z6ii from a forum member Ram A.K.A Visiongalaxy and i couldn't be more happier with the service he provided. He thoroughly showed me all the items ( through videochat) i was buying and assured me of the quality that he spoke of which ( when i received), was spot on. Truly a gentleman. He was transparent about everything and is someone I can fully trust to do business again with, in the future. Thank you, Ram. And Thank you Jjmehta for this amazing platform.

Smooth transaction. Received the parcel today, yet to test and check it. Thanks to Uttam for a good deal.
Thanks Raj, It was my pleasure. :-)
I bought a lens from Narayanan21 and would like to commend him. He is an upstanding guy who packed it securely and shipped it promptly.
The lens is everything he described it to be in his listing. Very satisfied with the transaction.
Purchased Canon 85mm 1.8 from Mr. Arjun Suri. The lens is in excellent condition, as he had described in his post. He is extremely courteous and had excellent coffee at his place while making the transaction.
Cheers !

Hi All
I have recently posted a WTB comment, I was looking for Wide Angle lens options for Nikon.

Finally I have purchased a Nikon 18-35mm f3.5-4.5 (in excellent condition) from JJMehta user Anil ji (https://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,5809.0.html)

Hi All,
Recently bought a used Nikon 85mm 1.8 from a forum member Mr. Singh https://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=49854 (https://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=49854) and I'm very satisfied with the service. He provided all the necessary information that I requested and I'm very happy with the purchase. Condition of the lens was as described on his post.

Highly recommended seller.
Thanks & Regards,

hi everyone,
Recently I had posted a WTB (sigma 18-300) ad and Rajesh Mittal (user name mittalrajesh) got back saying he had a Pentax 18-250. I bought it from him, the whole transaction went smoothly and when the lens arrived it was as good as he had described it: "like new". would not hesitate to deal with him again.
Purchased Benro B1 Ballhead from Mr. Krish Chandran (https://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=48121). The ballhead is in excellent condition, as he had described in his post.
It was packed securely and shipped promptly, would not hesitate to deal with him again.
Hi,
I recently purchased a Helios 44 -2 lens from this forum member Mr. Karan ( user id @karansinh). This is the first time I purchased anything from this platform and the experience is good. I have been a fellow of several other online groups like dpreview etc but was looking for a group that involved more Indians. I want to thank the JJMehta forum for providing such a wonderful platform and of course Mr. Karan for relaying what he posted.
Regards
hi everyone,
purchased my first lens from the forum, got the Helios 44M-M 58 mm F2 lens from user visualsymphony, he provided me sample photos taken from lens when i requested and kept me informed during packing and shipping of lens, i am very happy dealing with him its been good experience. thanks ;D
Had purchased a lens from jojaja (https://www.jjmehta.com/forum/index.php/topic,66317.msg493335.html#msg493335), and it turned out to be exactly as promised in his ad. Kudos to him for being civil, thorough and transparent throughout the entire transaction, and also for packing the lens securely.
Albeit there was a slight inconvenience from the shipping company's end, jojaja took corrective measures by promptly filing complaints with the shipping company.
All in all, I had a great experience and would trust him with future deals.
Cheers!
Extremely happy to share this feedback.
Bought a Nikon TC 1.4 III from Mr. Krish Chandran a few days ago. A thorough gentleman and an excellent communicator. The TC arrived in perfect condition and in nicely packed condition. He kept on sharing the tracking of the consignment till it reached my doorstep.
More power to him!
Regards,
Shantanu Som.
A big shoutout for Rachit (rcs1087_)
I got a Nikon 70-200 FL and it was a pleasure dealing with him. He was very kind and humble gentleman, very transparent with the deal. His 4 layered packing made sure the lens moved through road and air secured. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a seamless deal. Thanks Rachit, all the best bro.
I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a Tascam DR100 audio recorder with a memory card from Mr. Prabal (camera crew), and I must say that the entire experience was outstanding. He was prompt in answering all my inquires and even provided me videos of the item as it was being packed. The packaging was done really well and the Tascam arrived in as described condition - excellent.
I was surprised when I unboxed the item and found out that he included another memory card as a freebie!
Thank you Mr Prabal and JJMPF.
Cheers,
Rajdeep
A big thanks to Mr. KR Samy for being a very honest and sincere seller. The complete transaction was worry free for me and I am very satisfied with the complete outcome.

Hello Forum,
I recently picked up a 2-way panorama head (the Leofoto VH-30) from member Mr. Krish Chandran on this WTS Forum. First off, I want to say that it was a very transparent, smooth and satisfying experience talking to him, and quickly closing the deal. It travelled from Pune to Bangalore, in less than 24 hours; I got it the very next day. The ease with which we communicated made finalizing the deal simple and effortless. The item as advertised was true to its description given by the seller. I have got it in mint condition with its box and bill. Delivered to me well packed and with no hassles whatsoever.
All in all, I want to say that it was such a smooth experience dealing with him, and I also got some nice inputs and good advice as we discussed a few things about photography that were common to us. My thanks to him for making it so easy and hassle-free for me to close the purchase.
Udayan.

I recently purchased an Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II camera body, Lumix G 14mm f/2.5 lens, and Viltrox EF-M2 AF autofocus adapter from forum member m@nish.
I was keen to transition from an older Canon 550D DSLR to a more compact system, and m@nish was incredibly helpful in explaining the pros and cons for various options available. His advice and recommendations helped me decide on my final setup for my needs.
The products were packed with the utmost care and attention to detail. It took me over 10 minutes just to unwrap each individual piece from the protective bubble wrap - a testament to the effort put into safe and secure packaging.
A big thanks to m@nish for making this a wonderful purchasing experience, while also providing invaluable guidance throughout the process.

Hello everyone!
A Note of Bliss: Thank You, Nirvanaguy19, for the four absolutely fantastic Pentax lenses ( SMC A-50mm/ f 1.4, SMC M 100mm/ f 2.5, DA 21mm/ f 3.2 and a DA 70mm/ f 2.4) bought from JJMPF!
Dear Nirvanaguy19,
I hope this note finds you well! I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the delightful experience I had purchasing the Pentax camera lens from you through JJMPF.
From the initial interaction to the swift and secure delivery, every aspect of the transaction was seamless and joyous. The lens arrived meticulously packaged, a testament to the care and attention you put into ensuring it reached me in perfect condition. Opening the box felt like unwrapping a present, and the excitement only grew as I laid eyes on the stunning Pentax lens.
The lens itself is a gem, and it's clear that you take pride in maintaining your gear in pristine condition. The quality of the Pentax lens exceeded my expectations, and it has already become an invaluable addition to my photography toolkit. It's evident that you are a passionate photographer who values and takes care of your equipment.
Moreover, your transparency and responsiveness throughout the process were greatly appreciated. Your knowledge and willingness to answer my questions added a personal touch to the entire experience, making it more than just a transaction but a connection between fellow photography enthusiasts.
I want to extend my sincere thanks for not only providing me with a fantastic lens but also for making this purchase such a positive experience. It's encounters like these that make the photography community special, and I'm grateful to have connected with someone as dedicated and passionate as yourself.
Wishing you countless joyful moments capturing life through your lens, and I look forward to the opportunity of crossing paths again in the photography realm.
Best regards,
HHHkumar.
I had few weeks back picked up a Olympus 45mm f1.8 lens from nirvanaguy19
The entire process was a smooth sailing experience. Quick response to my PM and discussion closed promptly. The lens was packed well and got it within 2 days as it was shipped on the evening of the same day I spoke.
The lens was well kept and was ans described in the post. The lens feels as good as a new one as it was maintained well. This was an impulsive buy from my end but after using the lens, I liked the lens as it was super sharp.
Thanks nirvanaguy19

Mr Natubhai, took great care and effort in packaging the camera,
quite meticulous and better than anything I've seen before in India
and elsewhere.(excellent work)
Besides this he was prompt in his response and the item I received was
exactly as it was described in the pictures.
Thanks so much for this experience, I look forward to purchasing
from him again.
very happy to get two compact cameras each from Mr.Bharat Varma and Mr.Rajiv Sri, who got in touch after my WTB request, models i got were very well kept in great condition and have provided a lot of information regarding them along with potential things to keep in mind about future purchase.

I recently purchased a used Peak Design Everyday V2 bag from

Thanks Bharat for such kind words!

A Big Grin to
@cymricIt is often said about businesses that they will all get things wrong, and what really matters is how they handle it when they do. Of course, it applies to individuals too.
I bought Cymric's Peak Design strap. When I received it, I was disappointed to find that it was the Slide Lite, not the slide. I already have one of those. I didn't doubt that it was an honest mistake. There was no box and I guess he had discarded it long ago; the straps are not marked with model name.
Within a few minutes of my message Cymric had accepted the mistake and refunded the money. And promised to pay for the return, which he has done.
A good man to deal with: hope I can do so again in the future!
(My fault: that I took quite a few days to actually get that return to the courier. Apologies)
A big shoutout and a brightest Grin to MR.
@Robert Bose.
I recently contacted him regarding a classic Canon 5D, he was very informative on the camera and shared the details about it, the pictures and also the accessories which were part of the sale. Since, he is based in Bengaluru, I went to meet him and was able to check the camera and purchase it. The camera is in pristine condition both cosmetically and functionally. One of my dream camera which I was searching for the past 6-7 years, I really enjoyed taking some lovely pictures over the weekend.
He also shared his manual focus lens collection from Nikon, Rollei, Olympus which were almost as new in condition, the word is "In Mint Condition".
Any one looking for some really good manual focus legendary lenses, do reach out to him. You would really like those lenses.
Thanks for Mr. Robert again for the camera and thank you JJMPF for helping me reach him.
Thank you for your nice feedback
Want to leave a grin for Mr Abhijit Rao. Very pleasant experience. Item was in condition as described. Would happily deal with him again :)

Shout-out to
@sunilc I bought Sigma 18-50 from him. He provided me with everything I asked for. When my friend got the lens for testing, he told me how carefully he handled the lens. I got an excellent offer from him to the point where I didn't have to negotiate.
The only gripe I had was his packaging while shipping the lens, and even after telling him this he didn't reply on WhatsApp ( Which I found a bit strange ), but credit should be given where it is due.
Smooth experience and great care.
A big GRIN for Mr. Ganesh
@pk5user He drove a long way to hand-deliver his EM5 Mk II to me and was happy to indulge me in conversation for an hour even after his long (and most certainly tiring) drive. I am very happy with the camera and wish him all the best!
Thanks a lot for your wishes Subhom :) Indeed the pleasure was mine too to have a chat and discuss about various things other than photography. I have to add that Subhom was patient enough to wait for me to deliver the camera to him and all the while communicating cheerfully which made the whole transaction so hassle free. I am happy the camera has reached deserving hands and my very best wishes to him.
A big GRIN for Mr. Manish m@nish
I purchased the Lumix 12-32 pancake lens from him and it was delivered quick and packaged very nicely. He was also very responsive on whatsapp about my questions both prior and after the purchase. My best wishes to him.

Rep++ to Mr. @Shantanil Roy Bought Canon EF 50mm from him, really nice guy, answered all my queries and shipped the lens promptly after payment. The packing was nicely done. He also included freebie UV filter, such a nice gesture :).
Word of advice: Though there were no damages or signs of rough handling etc but Delhivery took more than double the promised time to deliver the parcel even with their costly priority service and I saw lot of guys complaining similar things about delayed deliveries on Twitter, Google Play comments etc. and their customer service sucks, all they do is keep replying with same template mails, so do keep this in mind when you book your parcel through Delhivery.
