derek_stanton Posted November 5, 2006 Share #4 Posted November 5, 2006 I bought something from him a year or two ago, and was very satisfied with the transaction. Can't remember, though, what it was.... Certainly a Leica-M lens, but, which one... i dunno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobey bilek Posted November 9, 2006 Share #6 Posted November 9, 2006 I have purchased some small items and the transaction went well. Accurate descriptions and prompt shipping is all I can say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xray Posted November 10, 2006 Share #7 Posted November 10, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I purchased a minty 105 nikkor for my S3 and a new A La Carte MP from him and have had nothing but great dealings with him. I also discussed a used 250 GG that he had and he went out of his way to provide photographs in detail. Sam is a good man and fair to deal with.

mat_mcdermott Posted November 10, 2006 Share #8 Posted November 10, 2006 I've bought one lens from him and had no problems whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_r_smith Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share #9 Posted November 20, 2006 Just to update this - after being reassured by your feedback here, I bought some classic 500 series Hasselblad parts from Sam. They were sent UPS from the USA to Cornwall, and arrived on Saturday with no problems. The parts were as described, and at a fair price. Sam is OK John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photowang Posted May 23, 2016 Share #10 Posted May 23, 2016 I bought an M6 (my first Leica purchase) from Sam and after the first week of use, the film advance jammed. I emailed Sam and within 24 hours he had set up a direct communication with Dan from DAG to have the camera repaired at no cost. After 2 weeks, my camera was back in my possession with a note from Dan saying that he had fixed the jam (loose screw) and that he had also performed an inspection to verify the camera was in good working condition. I highly recommend Classic Connection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenf Posted May 23, 2016 Share #11 Posted May 23, 2016 I had two recent transactions with Sam (a new M-P 240 and a new 75/2) and both were exemplary. Highly recommended! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobPQ3 Posted February 11 Share #12 Posted February 11 I just ordered my third camera from Sam. All transactions were excellent. A trusted business for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
