The detail in the description of the product convinced me it would work to adapt my Nikon F mount lens to the new Z 8 Nikon I had just bought. The product arrived ahead of time which was just in time... See more

Recommended by friends, and now by me,

Very smooth path from placing order with payment and then to delivery. Everything happened as and when they said it would. Amazing prices, and brand new pristine kit all good. Will define use again. I just wish they'd start selling PCs!

I have changed from Canon to Nikon.I bought a Nikon Z8 and 3 lenses from Cotswold cameras and was delighted with the choices I had and the ease of ordering what I wanted. I still want another lens which was out of stock at the time and will definitely order from this company. All items came boxed and packaged well,delivery was about 8 days.The whole process was seamless,would recommend.Price was excellent.

First class service and product.

My first purchase from Cotswold Cameras and certainly not my last. Communication throughout the process of delivery was excellent and the new lens absolutely perfect. The price could not be bettered elsewhere. I did initially have concerns about the functioning of the lens which I believed may be faulty. I emailed Cotswold Cameras and received an immediate response from David with a very detailed explanation addressing my concerns. The lens was functioning as it should and it was a lack of understanding on my part with regard to the internal mechanism. I am very impressed with Cotswold Cameras who provide a first class service and product. Do not be afraid to purchase cameras/lenses from this company you will not be disappointed.

I received my order a Nikon 180-600…

I received my order a Nikon 180-600 lens on the 7th day and the package was well packed and was exactly as listed online I had a little problem placing my order but the where very helpful at resolving my issue (operator error)
The only thing I would say is the tracking of the order was poor and I received a text about an hour before the package arrived
I would certainly use Cotswold again

An exciting new photography opportunity

The item was delivered in good time and well packed. The price paid represented a significant saving over any other supplier yet the supplied item was authentic. The item, a Nikon Z8 body is a complex item so I am still learning the differences between it and my Z6ii. I am looking forward to learning more and I would like to thank Cotswold cameras for bringing it to within my budget.

Buying a macro lens

Have used them for several fairly material purchases, and everything was smooth, save that the email communications from DPD (their chosen courier) were not ideal, but the lens turned up safe and sound and Cotswold were responsive to any queries I had.
