Perfect, as always.
Another completely satisfactory purchase of used equipment from LCE. Descriptions of items are accurate and conservatively biased - if it says 'good condition' it's never less than that, and there's a warranty too. Prices are very competitive and delivery by DPD is next day. What's not to like!

Dealt with Chester store to trade old for new… I shopped around and basically spot on pricing relative to the other big camera retailers. Really pleasant staff, effective processes, zero issues. Would unreservedly recommend to anyone at any point in photography wanting to buy or trade in gear.
