Great service at Bristol.
I ordered a new spotting scope knowing it was on 7 to 10 days. The following day I got a call to say they had one in stock and could despatch to arrive in a few days.
They could not have been more helpful. Would definitely recommend the Bristol branch.

LCE are one of the best national retailers of camera equipment that you can order from, I have used LCE for many items before and have visited one their local shops too. They had the item I required at the best price, and the ordering process was very smooth, and it was delivered very quickly - all the things that you want done excellently.

I have used LCE for many years
I have used LCE for many years, buying both new and used equipment. I normally buy from Mark Wallis, at the Bristol shop, as he is the ultimate professional. His knowledge and experience of cameras and lenses is so helpful in making the right choice. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mark and LCE and have done so many times.
