Michael knows his product, he also took the time to understand what type of photography I was interested in. What camera I was coming from to the camera I was stepping up to. The shipping process was explained and confirmed. I appreciate that very much.

I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer. I had a quick customer service call and she helped me through my purchase from order to payment to confirming my next day shipping by walking my invoice over to shipping to ensure it arrives in time. Jennifer did everything she could to help make my experience easy and mistake proof. I saved money and had great service.

Michael ** is outstanding! He provides excellent service and truly cares for long-time customers at Abe's of Maine. I recently purchased the Sony 70-200GM II, one of their most expensive lenses, and he expertly guided me through the warranty process, giving me peace of mind. I will definitely be a returning customer. If he ever leaves Abe's, I'm not sure what I'll do - maybe I'll follow him! LOL.

Michael was very helpful and easy to work with. He recognized that I was a returning customer and incentivized me to make the purchase. I will reach out to him again when we need more support or gear. Thanks for the great service.

I have been seeking a major upgrade to my outdated camera equipment. The process is both intimidating and expensive for me, but (salesperson) Jennifer made it easy, enjoyable, and personable. She listened carefully, guided me expertly, and had all of the technical knowledge I needed to make my decisions. As importantly, she was patient with me when I was hesitant about some parts of the suggested package. The outcome is that I have exactly what I wanted, at the price in my budget, and it was delivered in record time. I will *surely* return to Abe's of Maine, and I hope I'll be lucky enough to have Jennifer answer the phone. Great job!
