"Dan, you make the experience of buying Leica equipment into an art form! I had a great time visiting your store, and really appreciated the time that you took with me - a first time Leica user - to become familiar with the qualities and quirks of the M3. Each day that I take pictures with it becomes a special adventure. Your enthusiasm and knowledge of Leica is infectious! Consider me to be a future returning customer!"

"I'm incredibility happy with the black paint M10-R. If I didn’t know otherwise, I'd have assumed it was brand new. Looks absolutely perfect. Can’t wait to go out and shoot with it over the next few days. So I couldn't be happier."

"...incredibly cool provenance with this camera. Thanks for hooking me up with my dream Leica."

You NEVER disappoint me when I purchase a lens from you."

"One of the best Leica dealers …. he is also a great guy to know, great resource, etc. Really and truly the way business should be done. Old school, gentleman’s agreement, a lost art. Thanks for all your good work, interest and support."

"Just got my Leica Q yesterday. OMG it feels great to use a Leica again. Just did an assignment with it. You guys rock! Great experience buying from you."

"Thank you so much for the awesome [Tamarkin Camera] camera strap. It’s exactly as I hoped it would be."

"Thank all of you for your excellent service and sound photographic equipment advice during the more than 35 past years. You'll always be my source for all things Leica"

"An extensive selection of Leica products, competitive prices, and unmatched customer service. I would highly recommend Tamarkin Camera to anyone looking to buy anything Leica."

"Thank you for all your support over these years. You are a valued member of my art family, and one of the very few people I know I can count on."

"A treasure trove of all things Leica represented by Dan Tamarkin who has, in my opinion, one of the keenest and most encyclopaedic Leica minds. Professional and superb service, expect no less."

"I’m super grateful to you both for all the friendship, enthusiasm, advice, support and everything over the years."

"By the way, I absolutely love the system that you helped me choose! It has become my closest companion since the day we met. Happy holidays!"

"You really have a relaxed and non-intimidating environment in your store. That isn’t the case in a lot of camera shops. Your store makes entering the world of Leica so much more approachable."

"Thank you for making this such a great purchasing experience. That small gesture alone makes me feel valued as a customer and it speaks highly of your level of service. I will surely be recommending you to fellow photographers."

"By the way, your father purchased a Thambar from me way back in 1979-1980 ... The money from that lens helped start my career, which I have been at for the past 30 years."

"I have to congratulate you on your impressive reputation on the different on-line platforms and in the Leica community! Well done! It is all about on-line reputation nowadays."

"Let me thank you again for your great support and your outstanding service that I experienced in your wonderful store in Chicago! I was particularly happy with the way you introduced me to the Leica, its past and qualities."

"A true Chicago treasure! There is no other place like it!"

"Dan, you're a first-class act."

"Love the camera and lens. You really are the best. Thanks for all your help."

"Thank you for the great experience and service today .... I really appreciate your knowledge and patience with me as I purchased my first Leica and joined the Leica Owners family."

"One just doesn't find the old time service and trust with a business these days. You've earned my loyalty."

"I've wanted an M4 for years, but never came across one in acceptable shape. Well, this one is exactly what I wanted and more. I never thought I'd find one in mint, actually new-in-the-box, condition. As in the past, Tamarkin Camera came through for me. Thanks so much for your exceptional customer service. You are the finest in the industry when it comes to excellent product offerings and customer care."

"Thank you for talking to me about Leica cameras and taking the time to show me some of the awesome cameras you have."

"As always, it’s great doing business with you, and I appreciate that, whether via e-mail or by phone, it’s always an upbeat experience."

"I recently purchased a silver Leica M6 from you guys, and I just wanted to follow up and let you know how great the camera is and how wonderful of an experience it was doing business with you."

"I have always appreciated dealing with you and Stan - you both really put a lot into your client's needs which for a pro user is such a valuable asset."

"This was hands down the best experience I've had in a camera store and I really appreciate you taking the time out of your weekend to actually work with me and let me try out so much different gear."

"Thanks for finding this lens for me, and for offering it to me at such a reasonable price!"

"I couldn't be any happier with the purchase. The camera is fantastic, the lens is fantastic and I couldn't have asked for a better buying experience. Thank you for welcoming me into the church (or cult) of Leica, for all of your help, and for really figuring out what would be the best set up for me instead of just trying to sell me whatever was best for your bottom line. There aren't very many places that still do business the way that you do .... and I'm really happy to have found your shop. You've earned a lifelong customer."

"I knew buying from you would be a better decision than just getting one from [another] Leica Store. I’ve known your name for a long time and with the customer service you're giving your reputation is very well deserved. Thanks again."

"I've purchased a few before your move to Chicago and always had a wonderful experience... maybe there is one more left in my future."

"As a dedicated Leica shooter, Tamarkin Camera is, in my opinion, the epitome of what a great camera shop can be for a photographer. Dan Tamarkin is passionate about photography and therefore passionate about serving his customers. There is an incredible gallery as part of the shop, The Rangefinder Gallery. Just visiting the gallery or the store is something that inspires me and motivates me to get out and shoot."

"Thanks again for the awesome service and finding this MP!"

"Awesome is an understatement !!!"

"Thank you for all your help in selecting what is the perfect bag for my gear. I really appreciate the time you devoted to making custom videos and discussing my needs on the phone... it is exactly what I was looking for."

"Both items arrived safe and sound, and I am amazed at how much joy these two items give me!! I am so impressed with everything about Tamarkin. Thank you!!"

"Forget Leica Classifieds, Tamarkin has what it takes to make deals happen!"
