Experiences buying from Pille Film (used-filmequipment.com)

Not sure if this is the right forum but if the admins think I should move it I would be happy to!

 

Im looking to buy some lenses from http://www.used-filmequipment.com and I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience either renting or buying from them (Pille film: http://www.pillefilm.de/html/en/home )?

 

So far they have been very responsive and great to deal with, but money hasn't changed hands yet. I'm just looking to see if anyone can chime in before I pull the trigger?

 

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this will still be relevant to you, after all it's 6 years later :D. But if it still helps, I've rented from their Frankfurt branch. Great people and great equipment. In fact, they seems to run a equipment cycling model, where they often sell equipment that are rather new by rental house standards to make space for new ones. They are a legit business and I wouldn't worry about buying from them.

But seems like you're based in the states, and Pille is based in Germany, might want to figure out shipping.

Best, J.

Purchased a film camera movement from them last year. They were great people to deal with. Prepare for some import duties to be paid to the shipper, that was the only thing that I didn't prepare for and it added up!
