He showed me a backpack which is a lil bit over my price range so I asked him if there is a backpack that is almost as good as the one he showed me but lower in price. Her gave me the only answer you wanna hear. "Yea you can buy a cheaper backpack but I cannot guarantee your equipment is safe." The backpack he showed me he is certain it will provide me a good service. Even that I left without buying something, I definitely will be back when I need something. Thanks for good service.

Sauter is a photographers dream. It really is an institution. You won't find better consulting and…read moreexpertise anywhere else. The people who work here KNOW their stuff. You can mention any camera, any brand, any lens, any camera equipment and you will find someone who knows when that lens was first released, who built it, when there was a fallout in the lens company and the co-founders went their own way, both of the founders mothers name and so forth. Leica, Hasseblad, Pentax, medium format, film cameras, anything you can name, they have it and if anything is released they're the first to have it. But wait, there is more, as you can rent certain cameras or lenses before buying them, which gives you an incredible amount of freedom to find just the right equipment for you. Or you can buying second hand cameras, lenses, adapters, while the selection isn't comparable to ebay, it sure beats ebay as you can actually test the stuff you are about to buy and can make sure they still work properly. The only downside is that everything is ticket price. And they don't do price matching to the extent that Saturn/Medimarkt&co. do to compete with the mighty Amazon. So it's the perfect place to do your research, test out the equipment and if you want to support this institution from bankruptcy, buy. But for those of us who lack the funds, we shall have to wait the day until we have the funds and resort to buying from the interwebs till then. Because Sauter is really a place that ought to be supported, it's the camera equivalent of a great old book store who struggles due to Amazon.

The whole experience was not pleasant. I had gone to Sauter in 2007 for my German visa pictures and…read moreremembered them being very friendly and helpful (even though I didn't speak German). So naturally I thought to go there again for more Visa photos. Unfortunately, despite speaking German this time, they were incredible rude and overpriced!!! The only reason I gave them 2 stars is because (1) the photos were useable and (2) It was relatively quick. Negatives: (1) Rude and unfriendly employers (2) overpriced: less than 5 minutes of work cost 23€ for 6 visa photos. They charge a premium for the visa photos compared to normal passport photos and I really feel its taking advantage a bit since its not as easy to do those yourself in the machines on every corner. Next time I will try another place.

Last october my sister came to my wedding and during that time she went to this photography shop to…read morebuy a new lens to her camera. Since she is not living in Germany, she asked a receipt with tax return, person who prepared the document made a mistake and put just copy of the receipt into the form. When we went to airport and ask for return, they said they cannot make it because receipt is a copy not original!!! When my sister went back to home, she called the tax return company about the situation and the company said if she can get the original receipt they can send money (88 €, not so less!). I went there on Saturday for asking the original and they said it is not possible right now because it is Saturday. I said ok and asked if it is ok when my husband will pick it up. After getting yes as an answer, I gave them his name and number of the receipt to make sure that they had everything. And today my husband was there and he could not get it because responsible person is not there right now but they can send it via mail. German shops are not known with their high quality services but this is really unacceptable for me. The mistake is belonging to them but I am the one who has to deal with! There were at least 4 full working days and somehow that "responsible person" did not have any time to print out or check for the original receipt! Lets see how long will it take until they will send it!!! But from now on I will not recommend or let any friends or relatives to have a business in there. Update: After 3 years later, the shop had a nerve to make a complain about my review and say "The customer received the original receipt from us. The review contains wrong facts." I would like to ask when did the customer get the receipt? And from who? I can tell you; after nagging and coming to your shop couple of times, I was able to get the original. And then I had to send via post to real customer, who was my sister by the way. She is living another country and as one can guess, she did not have the opportunity to contact with the shop and get the receipts. Although I was living in Germany, it was not that fast! 3 years past and I am still behind my review and such a behavior showing that I should not feel sorry about my review, not a bit.
