Do not let Jim Galli fool you......

[Jorge]

Now that I got your attention, I wanted to post a heartfelt very big THANK YOU! to Jim.

Jim knew I wanted a semi wide angle for my 8x10 and was kind enough to offer me a trade of a G claron 240 for some of my prints. Well let me tell you all, do not be deceived by Jim's modest description of the lenses he sells. I just got my lens and it is in pristine shape. I would not have been able to tell the difference between a new one and the lens Jim sent to me, if anything his sales descriptions err on the side of caution.

If anybody here had some reluctance to get a lens from Jim, do not hesitate, you will be very pleasantly surprised.....

Thank you Jim!!!!!!

I will second Jorge's comments about Jim's descriptions.

I just want to know where he gets all of these lenses.

I will third Jorge's comments. Jim was kind enough to lend me a lens that looks to be the equal of any sold on ebay, but his asking price is well into the low range.

The deal he worked out with me is beyond fair. He is on my holiday card list as well as a soon to be victim of my photographic abuse.

Thanks Jim you are a good guy.

oooops. Got mine from the dumpster when the graphics shop updated. So the G-Claron 240 is a hit? I'm selling one along with a camera on eBay. Maybe I'd better kill that auction!

I was fortunate to buy a 305 G-Claron from Jim that was beeeeeautiful! He's a pleasure to deal with!!!

fair warning. If I say something is a pile of junk in an EBAY ad, you can bet it's a pile of junk.

But thanks Jorge! And others! Your kind words are well received.

Well, I was bidding on a bunch of old lenses a few weeks back--then in comes the snipers. When I saw I was up against Jim I figured I was outgunned, and I didn't see the point in running up the price on him, especially since I was only interested in a couple of the lot.

He strikes me as a good sort, and I haven't even dealt with him.

I bought a Turner-Reich in a compound shutter from Jim recently and I am very happy with the condition of the lens and the shutter. Thanks Jim....

I agree too! I bought a couple of lenses from him earlier this year.

Just think of the lenses he keeps for himself! I too have purchased a couple of lenses from Jim. The most recent which is a 355 g claron. He is kindly going to mount it on the proper lens board for this blonde rooted one.
