Camtec Photo - Leica Boutique

JULIEN at CamTec was VERY helpful in the camera and accessory purchase. He checked with the manufacturer representative about availability and we put together a good package. Friendly and efficient. They have a pretty good website. I bought from this store in Montréal though I don't live there. The two main camera suppliers in my city couldn't guarantee that they have the camera that I wanted in the near future.so I had to go elsewhere. Shipping was included. The tracking information was emailed to me right away. I would buy from them again.

I purchase often from Camtec Photo online, and their shipments get here faster than my local camera shop! The team there is always friendly, helpful and efficient. I’ve trusted them with some of my largest photographic purchases and have always had a great experience.

Courteous, helpful, knowledgable staff. They took the necessary time to answer all my questions related to travel photography. I purchased equipment and they provided tips for the use of the products. (Sony camera)

Excellente boutique. Beau materiel, équipe très sympa et disponible, conseils avisés et bien documentés. Développement de pellicules rapide et efficace. Il est également très plaisant d'y trouver de beaux livres sur la photographie, une chose qui manque souvent aux magasins de photo.

I have never had the pleasure of visiting the store in person, but living in Regina SK I have ordered all things Leica from Camtec. Their selection and pricing is amazing and their expedited shipping gets to me in 1 day! I used to order from Downtown Camera, The Camera Store, etc, but all of them have let me down in some way or another, BUT Camtec has always been amazing! They take a real hands on & personal approach to their customers. Someday if I make it to Montreal I am going to pop in the store just to shake their hands and thank them for the amazing service they have provided me over the years. Leica's and their accessories are not cheap, so having the confidence that the business you are purchasing items from really cares about you purchase and goes the extra mile to make sure everything is up to your standards is amazing! I will not shop anywhere else!

De loin le meilleur magasin de photographie de Montréal (j'apprécie particulièrement le magasin du Vieux Montréal).
Une équipe sympathique, disponible et avec qui il est toujours plaisant de jaser matériel photo vu le niveau d'expertise.

5 étoiles largement méritées!

Ordered a Billingham SP40 shoulder pad from Camtec for my Hadley Pro since they are very hard to find in Vancouver. Shipment was sent out quickly and arrived well packed and without hassle. This is my first experience with Camtec and I’m a satisfied customer. I will certainly use them again for future purchases!

I accidentally discovered this store and went in to buy some Leica accessories. I was surprised to find that some of the prices were even lower than what I saw at some online stores. The staff were professional and friendly.

Super friendly service with enthusiasm and willingness to help. Not my first visit and definitely not my last! And once again the guys came through! Great service!

Was very happy to buy X2D at this shop. They lent me a demo XCD 38mm lens until my ordered one will arrive. Beside this, the service was excellent!

Service 5 étoiles. Pour un achat, un conseil, le jeune Emmanuel saura répondre à vos demandes. J'y retournerai.

Picked up some film here while on a trip to Montreal. Great prices and super friendly staff! Will definitely be returning next time I'm in town

Outstanding customer service from Camtec Photo and especially from Emmanuel. I had a long wait for a new Leica camera and Emmanuel kept me up to date and informed during this process. I will highly recommend Camtec Photo Montreal.

Great customer service and very welcoming the customers.very friendly and helpful.highly recommended.

De vrai connaisseurs. Et enfin un endroit pour choisir ses livres de photographies en toute tranquillité.

Merci Emmanuel pour les informations et venir m'informer même stationné à l'avant du commerce! J'étais stationné dans une interdiction et il a fait quelques allées-retour car c'est ma femme qui a effectué l'achat.

Very good experience, many choices in terms of Cameras and accessories, Emmanuel was very knowledgeable and was able to pinpoint what I was looking for.

Je cherchais un nouveau boîtier de caméra mais j'hésitais entre deux modèles de la même marque. J'apprécie beaucoup l'attention et les explications détaillées de Francis sur les points forts et faibles des modèles en question, pendant ma première visite. Je suis retournée une semaine plus tard pour tester de nouveau le modèle qui m'a plu avant de compléter mon achat. Je suis satisfait du service donné par Francis et de mon achat chez Camtec Photo - Leica Boutique.

Je cherchais un objectif lumix S 35 mm et en faisant des recherches, je l'ai trouver là. J'ai commandé en ligne et recu très rapidement. Vraiment très satisfait du service.

Merci

J'y ai acheté un objectif usagé Canon en avril 2022. Excellent service, vendeurs très gentils qui savent de quoi ils parlent. Expérience très satisfaisante dans l'ensemble.

Toujours un excellent accueil, très professionnel et rapide. Je suis un utilisateur des produits Leica et j'ai toujours grand plaisir à visiter camtec pour leur conseils et services.

I have just gotten my dream camera from Camtec. I'm extremely satisfied with the buying process and their service was stellar (worthy of giving them 5 stars)

I recently started looking into the Leica Q2 Monochrom camera.
I am located in the Toronto area and called multiple Leica dealers in Canada as well as New York City.
Everyone was helpful and knowledgeable and after many questions and much thought including on-line written and video reviews I was sure that this was a camera that I would thoroughly enjoy using (not a professional photographer).
This camera provides a dimension that I had not previously experienced.
After all that, the decision was obvious and I decided upon Camtec and spoke to Julien who was extremely helpful and patient.
I received the camera last week and am very happy with all aspects of the technology and especially Camtec's friendliness, speed and efficiency.

Super friendly service with enthusiasm and willing to help. Not my first visit and definitely not my last!

Over the last 10 years I have ordered from here several times. I am out of the area, so can only comment on web transactions. Everything has gone smoothly with good communication and attention to detail.

Great selection of Leica items and very prompt delivery. Definitely will consider Camtec again the next time I am looking for a Leica product.

Excellent service, le commis a répondu de façon très satisfaisante à toutes mes questions, lancées en rafale et il m'a donné l'heure juste sur certains points précis. Je ne connais pas son nom, mais tout de même, merci pour cette vente rapide, j'étais en infraction dans le stationnement.

Very happy with their prompt service. I ordered a Voigtlander lens hood for a Leica mount lens and they confirmed the stock over the phone and shipped it as soon as I made my order online. Will definitely order from them again.

Wouldn't go anywhere else to buy my camera gear or service my cameras. Always a fair price and a respectable camera retailer. A true example of how a business should be run!

Service discret, courtois et efficace! On y offre des produits de qualité, sans pression indue.

Personnel bienveillant et patient, il font attention a vous et vous écoutent.
Je recommande vraiment cette enseigne!

Services de qualité, traitement rapide des commandes!
Bon suivi pour les éléments en commande.
Disponibilité des produits en inventaire.
Merci!

Ça fait plusieurs années que je suis client de cet établissement, et le service est toujours aussi impeccable. Bravo à l'équipe.

Camtec Leica Boutique has recently become one of my favorite camera stores. I am really impressed by their customer support. Emmanuel's excellent communication, personalized customer care and attention to details are second to none. Delivery to Vancouver BC was solid and blazing fast. This boutique with over 30 years of experience is a gem and I am a happy new client.

Ça fait déjà bien quelque part entre 20 et 30 ans que je suis client chez Camtec. Jean a toujours été cette personne affable, simple et aimable qu'il nous montre chaque jour. Et quelle connaissance des produits et de leur utilisation réelle! Le meilleur n'a pas changé ou alors il s'est bonifié. Et puis ce partenariat avec Leica! Bravo! Et toutes ces marques choisies avec soin de partout dans le monde! Billingham, Artisan and Artist, Voigtländer,

Mais je veux ajouter que Camtec, c'est aussi une équipe! Chacun sa personnalité mais tous les mêmes valeurs: accueil vrai, expertise conseil sans prétention, service sans compromis et jamais, jamais aucune pression. Julien, merci encore pour cette dernière!

Merci à vous d'être là et au plaisir de vous revoir chaque fois que possible. Longue vie!

François

Camtec Leica Boutique has recently become one of my favorite camera stores. I am really impressed by their customer support. Emmanuel's excellent communication, personalized customer care and attention to details are second to none. Delivery to Vancouver BC was solid and blazing fast. This boutique with over 30 years of experience is a gem and I am a happy new client.

Excellent service. Emailed them about getting a rush order and got an immediate response and they shipped within a few hours to get it to me in time. Highest recommendations.

Recently I used their on-line store to purchase several items in separate orders. I was thrilled with their attention to my orders. Their service was prompt, efficient and personalized by emails. It felt as if I was in the store itself. I very much recommend Camtec. I will shop there again, from Calgary.

No matter where you are in Canada, you will be treated to a top notch customer service by Jean, Emmanuel and the crew. You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you are shopping anywhere but at Camtec.

Services de qualité, traitement rapide des commandes!
Bon suivi pour les éléments en commande. Merci!

I have never been in the physical store. I have always shopped on line and communicated with the staff through email. Very fast to reply usually next business day. Products are always well packaged for shipping and tracking number provided. Will shop here again and would recommend.

Excellent customer service including quick response to inventory and very fast delivery. I'm extremely happy I chose Camtec as the store to purchase my first Leica. I look forward to shopping at Camtec in the future and hope to visit the storefront in person sometime soon.

A very nice and cosy boutique where you can find everything you need or dream, since they have some of the more beautiful cameras in the market. Great service, very kind and prepared staff, and great products including great photography books. I really enjoyed the whole process of purchase of my first Leica ever. I totally recommend this place!

Toujours 5/5. Pour plusieurs raisons: 1.une belle équipe dévouée, compétente, serviable pour répondre à NOS besoins 2. Jamais de pression laissant tout le temps au client pour une meilleure décision. 4 Leica plus tard c'est tout dire de mon choix pour Camtec.
PS: ne pas oublier la gentillesse de Jean et de ses collaborateurs.

J'ai procédé à l'achat d'une caméra par l'intermédiaire du service en ligne.
Je fus agréablement surpris par la découverte de cette Boutique que je ne connaissais pas et par sa vaste gamme de produits.
Je vous fais part de ma grande satisfaction d'avoir été servi par Francis qui a su me faire des recommandations très judicieuses et professionnelles.
J'ai reçu ma commande dans un délai de 24 heures. BRAVO!

Le plus beau magasin de jouets à Montréal! Pour qui aime la photo, les produits de qualité et un service impeccable, c'est l'endroit où aller!

Probably the best digital camera store in Montreal: Very attentive and friendly service, good prices and a small but amazing library of photo books to enjoy.

Fantastic selection and excellent service by email and over the phone. Emmanuel was very helpful and patient throughout my buying experience. Tracking numbers were provided shortly after purchase and my lens should make it all the way across the country in a few short days.

If you're considering purchasing a Leica anywhere in Canada Camtec is an excellent choice. I'll be back shopping again soon no doubt. Thanks again.

Well stocked inventory, great knowledgeable personnel, fast service and above all a friendly and welcoming photo store that caters to the amateur photographers as well as the Pros.

The item I was looking for (Leica Trinovid 7X35 binoculars) was not in stock, so Francis placed a special order for me. They received it one week later, then couriered it to me that same day. Two days later, they're in my hands in Vancouver. Great communication all the way. I'm delighted with the binoculars – and with the fast, friendly and professional service. I'll be back for sure.:)

J'ai beaucoup apprécié mon processus d'achat avec Camtec; plus spécifiquement avec l'aide de Francis. Au départ j'avais plusieurs questions et quelques 'alternatives' d'achat de lentilles. À chaque fois j'ai reçu les conseils pertinents qui répondaient le mieux à l'équipement que j'avais déjà. Francis a répondu à tous mes courriels avec disponibilité et courtoisie. Et ce fut la même chose en boutique lorsque je suis passé prendre la lentille que j'avais choisi. Une première expérience très agréable que je n'hésiterai pas à répéter pour mon prochain achat.
Bonne continuation à toute l'équipe et un merci particulier à Francis!

Great purchase experience with Camtec Photo. I am from Vancouver but camtec offers the best price on camera gear that I know of in Canada, so I made my order for the Nikon 500mm pf lens. Julien has been really helpful and answering all my questions and inquiries through email and telephone conversations. Transaction was smooth. Received an email today from Julien informing me that the lens has been shipped. A tracking number from Purolator has also been provided, so I can track my parcel. Very thoughtful procedure. Great price, great service, smooth transaction. Will definitely purchase from Camtec again. Thank you guys.

Excellent service, Francis was very helpful and gave me good advice to chose the right camera and lens. I strongly recommend. Thank you!

Excellent service, autant au téléphone que pour la récupération de ma commande et ensuite le suivi par courriel après achat. Merci encore!

J'ai toujours aimé leur section d'usagés pour succomber à mes désirs de nouvelles lentilles de qualité. Et toujours un bon service personnalisé

I bought some recent gear at Camtec and I've been very happy with their service during these challenging times. I highly recommend them.

The two representatives I dealt with on the phone were helpful and knowledgable. The item I ordered is difficult to find anywhere, and Camtec Photo had what I wanted in stock and at a reasonable price. I will definitely shop at Camtec Photo again.

En étant confinée à la maison, j'ai eu un super service via le téléphone. Merci à Emmanuel pour sa patience et la qualité de ses explications. Je suis hyper contente de mes nouveaux jouets. C'est fou la différence de qualité photographique.

I ordered my Fuji XPro-2 in the early afternoon and received it not even 24 hours later at my house which is extremely impressive during these Covid-times. I received a follow-up call an hour or so after placing the order where Francis promptly answered all my questions. Excellent service from a store that I would wholeheartedly recommend!

Les vendeurs sont sympathiques et sont de bons conseils et ne favorisent pas l'achat de l'article le plus cher.
Il n'y a pas beaucoup d'attente pour être servis.
Je recommande ce magasin!

I was not a customer of Camtec but someone who was affected by a fraudulent charge. Someone was able to access a payment account of mine and tried to make a purchase in excess of $3000. Camtec noticed this transaction right away and saw something was off. They contacted and refunded me right away. Thank you for noticing this and alerting me so quick. Next time I am in Montreal I will have to stop by and thank you in person:)

Lundi matin le 25 mai à 10 h j'étais le premier client pour la réouverture.
Une annonce pour un X pro 2 Graphite m'a mis en contact avec Camtec.
Francis m, a donné tout le temps dont j'avais besoin pour comparer le X Pro 2 et le 23 mm f 2 avec le X100 V.
À cause de la molette des ISO plus agréable ainsi que les clics sur les molettes avant et arrière moins durs j'ai acheté le X 100 V.
Merci à Francis et ses confrères.

Always the greatest place to shop for best quality photo products in Montreal! Large and diverse offering. Kind and helpful support! Always a pleasure to stop by when I am in Montreal. Jean, Emmanuel, cheers!

Amazing range of products and great service online since i live in Halifax. Merci beacoup mes amis!

They are awesome! They were extremely helpful and accommodating with the order I placed online. And I’m also very happy with the lenses I purchased! Thanks a lot!

It's a little place call Boutique with amazing service, amazing peoples and amazing friends. I've been a customer since 2008 and that little camera store is where you go to get motivated and inspired to do you craft. Thank you Camtec.

What an incredible store!
Not only do they offer you consistently great in person customer service, but they also offer you BETTER PRICES than nearly all of their competition. Whatever they don’t have in stock, they’ll order for you!
Every single staff member is kind, caring and knows a lot about their products.
I highly recommend visiting Camtec for Leica products and every other camera brand and related products - there is no reason to buy anywhere else!

I bought Nikon z 85mm 1.8 in 1000cad and I am not satisfied with price because other stores offered me 990Cad. I thought I can bargain here but I was wrong. I highly recommend to check price in other stores before your final purchase.

Best camera shop in town!
Staff is always super helpful and they have a great selection of photobooks.
