Five Star Service from LCE Bristol
Traded in a Sony A7 IV for an A7R IV at the LCE store in Bristol, on what was a very pleasurable and straight forward transaction.
I received great service from Euan, who was very knowledgeable and very professional along with a very friendly and welcoming greeting from all the staff.
I’ll definitely be buying from LCE again especially the Bristol store.

They had the lens in stock and at a sale price, all good. Then my card had a bad chip so wouldn't read. Had to return to computer and pay online. Didn't have time to walk back to the shop so had to have it posted the ¼ mile to me. Frustrating and time consuming but not London Cameras Exchanges fault. (Replacement card arrived week latter).
Very happy with used lens purchase.
I bought a used lens. It was extremely well packed, dispatched quickly, and if anything is in better condition than was described. It's reassuring to buy from a legitimate business, and LCE's prices in this case compared favourably with going rates on eBay. I'm very satisfied, and fully expect to be a repeat customer.
