RRS builds and finishes them well for the cameras in use. My 5D bodies have them for regular L to the gripped variants and single position plates when simplicity is desired. L plates are on the G-Series past and present. Their clamps are a go to and 4 of the B2-Pro-II are in use on varying platforms. Their TFA-01 table top is a workhorse in my product photography and I can rely on it without hesitation. Same applies to the TP-243 ground tripod that is taken on air travels. If they came up with a middle variant between the table top and ground I'd be interested too. Sales staff via phone or in person has been pleasant. Questions asked receive a prompt and thorough answer. The showroom is drool worthy for the photo nut. Also love the bull dog there. :) Quality USA made gear comes with a price and I don't mind their price structure. Resale is easy because their gear holds value and the quality known. Definitely appreciate the RD and staff at RRS!

Decent stuff for camera gear, but they have terrible customer service. Been trying to return a…read moreuniversal camera mount that is a poor fit on my A7V. Wrote them 3 messages to return, zero response. Good luck on reaching them for any returns. They charge a huge premium, but have no customer support or service. I don't get it until I read employee reviews. Also not a good place to work, I guess. After being a customer for 7 years, I am done.

UPDATE: I originally gave a miserable review for Pro Digital Photos because of an unfortunate…read moreinteraction that has now been amicably resolved. We came to see that both of us were under a lot of individual stress and had not been truly aware of how we were coming across to others. Then our interaction together created the hurt. When the owner responded with a sincere apology, I went over to Pro Digital myself and we were able to resolve this misunderstanding. I am actually rather impressed with Veronica after this, as I have found that her heart is sincere. She is also, at times, human like I am. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------OLD REVIEW... since updated and changed: (1-star) So at first we were happy with ProDigital Photo services... that is until we attempted to reorder more of the invitations. The Customer Service rep (Veronica?) was very rude and demeaning to us. When I attempted to contact the owner of the store to let her know how her representative was treating her customers, she just said she was very sorry she had treated us so rudely but that there was nothing else she could do about it. (Seriously?) She instructed me to "go back to the store and conduct my business through Veronica". NOT A CHANCE in hell. We will not be returning to that business ever again, sadly. UPDATE: Wow, turns out, Veronica IS the business owner. Am surprised! She seemed so nice when we met her in person back in April, but to treat us so rudely over the phone is awful for business. No wonder Jen couldn't do anything. Veronica -- Customer Service means something! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Old review, since resolved)

My experience with Spencer Camera has been good to very good…read more I ordered a "full spectrum conversion with cooling enhancement" on my Pentax K-1. They did a competent job, and the camera was returned quickly. I bought several filters for IR, visible, etc. and they were good quality and shipped when promised. I spent around $900 and got my money's worth. I also signed up and paid in advance for a seminar/workshop. I had problems with the high altitudes at Bryce and had to turn back at the last minute. They worked with me to provide a refund and were pretty fair about it. So, I would recommend them as a competent and fair vendor for this kind of stuff. My only caveat is that this is a small business that requires considerable customer "hand-holding" due to the technical nature of the products and services. You may not get an instant response to your comms, and sometimes some details fall into the cracks. My guess is that they are snowed with this sort of stuff, be patient and helpful.

I later had a minor issue with the firmware on the camera (likely my own user error), which the owner was able to help me fix by myself very quickly. He returned my call within 10 minutes and walked me through the fix step by step. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again.

He flawlessly merges groups of people together giving the impression they were all there at one sitting. His touch-up work is amazing. I was in awe of the work he did for the headshots he did for our company. There is a reason he continues to photograph high-profile people and has been in business for several years. He is iconic to Utah Valley and is top notch.

Worst experience with family pictures ever. You will not find a price list on his website because…read morethe prices are astronomical ($137 for an 8x10, $263 for an 11x14) You pay big bucks for each and every print. I respect quality work, and expect to pay for it but the pictures were just ok. They required a lot of editing and face swapping to be acceptable. I felt like he didn't pay attention to small but important details like head position and hand and feet placement when actually doing the shoot. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. There's plenty of competition out there and you could get full digital rights to all your edited photos for a fraction of the price.

I also appreciate how careful they were in flattening the prints, putting tissue paper between them, and packing them on top of a mat board and enclosing in cellophane for protection during transport. I received quotes from six local labs, and MasterLab, while not the least expensive, was less expensive than most and came with great recommendations. I can now vouch as well for their expertise - if you're looking for the best printing (highest quality printers, paper/canvas, and inks) for printing your art project, I'd definitely recommend MasterLab!
