Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I've bought a Viltrox lens. Good price, fast delivery, carefully packed, everything went well. The only minor setback is the fact that the email messaging system for international clients is in German... See more

Five star service! I did multiple purchases from Fotokoch.de online store and my experience is 100% positive. There was small issue with one of the items (missing part from the manufacturer) and Fo... See more

The item sent was not the one described on the shop online, but an older version. The description and picture were those of the most recent model, but the item sent is the old version with less acc... See more

True proffesionals. I have made almost 12 orders in the last 2 months from Greece and everything went super smoothly accurately and fast.

Pay for two, get one

I placed an order for two items and heard nothing for 12 days. After repeated emails to customer support I still heard nothing. Today I get a shipment notification that only 1 item is being sent. I checked the invoice on their website and it says only 1 item was ordered and paid for, contradicting the email invoice I originally have showing two items. This company is unpleasant to deal with, slow, inept, and not trustworthy. I would recommend any other company instead.

edit: Order #122492. Maybe also reply to my dozen support emails that are still unanswered before focusing on your online reviews. It's unacceptable that a customer invoice/receipt would be edited, without notification, by the merchant to reflect the order and payment of only 1 item when originally 2 were ordered and paid for. That should be an immutable legal reflection of the sale.

Dear customer,
unfortunately you have not provided a reference with which we can find your order in the system. Could you please tell us the name, order number or the items? Then we will contact you immediately. At the moment it sounds like both items were not available and the first one has now been shipped to you and the second one will follow.
Best regards,
Your Foto Koch Team

Perfect except for an English website version

I ordered a Tokina 12-24mm lens for my Nikon D7100, which was about 150 Euro cheaper at Fotokoch.de, than in the Danish shops. The purchase was very pleasent and it took about 4 days for my lens to arrive. The price was really good and also the informative emails after my purchase. My only regret is that the site isn't available in English, since my German isn't all that good. But definitely a shop I will be using again when buying equipment for my camera. :)

Speedy, thrustworthy and at a good price!

I bought a camera from this German company to my address in Spain. The contact and delivery messages along the way was easily translated with Google Translate and were helpful. The delivery was swift and uncomplicated.
I can with out a doubt recommend them!

Great product and service!

One of the best e-shops for photo equipment. I found the metz Ringblitz 15 ms-1 at the best price on the web. Perfect and very fast service (order to Greece and although that my items weren't in stock, were delivered in a week). My only complain is that site appears only in German language and it was very difficult to find what I want and order it. Hope to change it in the future!

Google Translate:
Einer der besten E-Shops für Foto-Ausrüstung. Ich fand das Ringblitz Metz 15 MS-1 in den besten Preis im Internet. Perfekter Service und sehr schnell (um Griechenland und zwar, dass mein Artikel nicht auf Lager waren, wurden in einer Woche geliefert). Meine einzige Beschwerde ist, dass vor Ort erscheint nur in deutscher Sprache und es war sehr schwer zu finden, was ich will und bestelle es. Ich hoffe, es sich in Zukunft ändern!

The best seller ever

We have finally received our order of filters and Adaptor ring placed in August. Dispite the long wait we feel well treated as we all along were kept informed of the order's progress. The long wait was due to the manufacturer and not Foto Koch.

Zmaj, Odense-Danmark

New order: sigma 35mm 1.4 art + Manfrotto Pro Halfter Plus 40 delivered very fast, got it within 3 days. Perfect.

Very good service and fast delivery

I ordered the D7000 which was not available in The Netherlands. Price was good, very fast delivery of less then 1 week for abroad delivery, which is outstanding.
Fotokoch updated me regularly about the delivery.

I'm very pleased with the overall service of fotokoch.de
