Vistek TorontoVistek, located further east along Queen Street, rivals Henry's for the comprehensiveness of its product lines and tends to be ever so slightly cheaper overall. Whether it be Nikon, Canon, or high-end medium format stuff like Hasselblad, it's all here. Also noteworthy is the store's excellent selection of rental items and Mac products. Bonus points for a solid service department as well.

I should go there and get a standard lens for my Minolta Maxxum 5000 SLR.

I must agree about customer service. They DO have attitude a lot of the time.

I had a horrible experience at Vistek. I took in a pile of stuff for appraisal: 2 camera bodies, several lenses, flashes, etc. I'm from out of town. I mentioned I would be going to Henry's next for a comparison price. Mentioning being 4 hours from Toronto was my mistake. They stalled me with a price from their "appraiser" until Henry's closed for the day! Then they lowballed me. I stupidly took their offer on a purchase of a D-700. I cancelled the order when I discovered Henry's selling the D700 for less. They were to mail me a cheque for the items that I sold to them. It was nearly 6 weeks before receiving payment. Only after several calls to the sales person perched on his stool, then 2 different Managers, the Store Manager, all whom told me that the cheque was in the mail and they could not understand why I had not received payment. None bothered to check and call me back. I had to constantly call them, or I would still be waiting for payment.

Never again will I deal with that unorganized, lackidazical store and their employees.

I happily deal at Henrys just down the street at Church Street.
