Lens as described and quick delivery. Carefully packed with plenty of bubble wrap as original box not available. Fast focusing and very sharp images even at full aperture.

Excellent service from Jason and Ben!
Excellent service from Jason and Ben!
Purchased from this shop to obtain a genuine Panasonic UK warranty rather than an online 'import' that looked like a UK purchase.
After experiencing a problem with the camera it was replaced without quibble!
Highly recommended.

Great service again
There aren't many, if any, decent photographic shops where I live so I usually end up with a bit of a shopping list when in the UK, and it's always a pleasure to deal with LCE. Communication is good and delivery reliable and quick.

The Exeter branch provided an accurate description of a used Canon EF 50mm 1.4 lens, with a very competitive price and speedy delivery.
LCE has been my first first choice for buying used Canon gear for several years now.
On the one occasion when a product disappointed there was a speedy no quibble refund, which is a good test of customer care.

I recently made a purchase from London Camera Exchange on a used lens.
The overall experience was great from start to finish.
Once I had placed my order I received emails telling me the progress of the order.
I also received a telephone call from LCE thanking me for my order and explaining parcel tracking details.
The lens arrived on time as described on the website which made the whole experience faultless.
I would recommend LCE and will be using them again.

Excellent service
I bought a used Kowa spotting scope. As always with LCE the price was competetive & the product description was accurate. I contacted the branch (Exeter) after purchase to arrange delivery on a specific day and the scope arrived on the day requested. Top marks all round.
