Quick and Securely Packed
Really quick delivery of my new 180-600mm Nikon lens, the lens was extremely well packaged, would’ve taken a high speed collision with a truck to do any damage to it. All as described, brand new in box lens in perfect condition, will definitely use again in future

Above and Beyond!
I'm so grateful to Ewan (Bristol) for sorting me my D Lux 8 in advance of my holiday. I was top of the list but the camera was sold out at his branch. He eventually found me one. Also, thank you to Matt, the Manager at Southampton.
A really impressive company who go above and beyond. Very grateful indeed and would highly recommend them.

Excellent, as usual with LCE
I called the Bristol branch with some questions about a used Fujifilm X-T3 camera, and the member of staff patiently examined both the camera and box contents to answer my questions before I made the online purchase.
The price was reasonable, and the camera arrived promptly via DPD overnight delivery in excellent condition.
In my experience "Good" condition from LCE often equates to "Excellent" with other online retailers.

Online and intore shopping at LCE
Used LCE quite a few times over the last 5 years and they offer a great service. They have always communicated very effectively and kept me informed at every step for my online transactions. Good choice of products, combined with experienced and polite staff, I can recommend using LCE for your photographic requirement.

Brilliant service
I phoned the local branch to ask if a certain camera and lens were in stock, they advised they were not but they sourced them from another location and I received them the next day. Brilliant service.

Fantastic service from start to finish
Fantastic service from start to finish. Fast delivery. The binoculars I bought online was a gift for husband I spoke with Mark at the Bristol branch who kindly put them in a plain box. Would definitely recommend this company.
