I was looking for a AF-S 70-300 lens that was discontinued and replaced by the AF-P version which would not work on one of my cameras. Checked all of the online websites Amazon, Adorama, B & H etc. with no luck. Checked many Nikon photo shops that had one listed on their website, most did not respond to my request if it was even available, called some shops and they told me that they did not have a chance to update the site and it was out of stock. Rembering seeing references over the years for Berger Brothers in NYS, I contacted them and talked to Brad Berger, he checked and had the lens which I purchased. Being late in the day he sent it priority mail, took it to the post office which I received 2 days later. Everything was as expected, a new Nikon lens with all of the paperwork for the 5 year extended warranty. So if you are in the need for something special, I suggest that you checkout Berger Brothers for real customer service.

Being a native New Yorker, and having the advantage of living 30 minutes away from Berger Bros. I can say in the past I have always received good service and advice when visiting their store. Guess we get some what spoiled here with good choices for our photography shopping so abundant, Adorama, B&H, Cameta and Berger Bros to name some.

Buyer beware, Amazon and E-Bay had them listed higher than Nikon new list price. If I would have not found a new lens, the next step was to buy a refurbished lens from Nikon. But finding the lens new from Berger-Brothers was the best choice.
