No issues! Would use again.
Easy to use website with reasonable prices, quick and secure delivery with plenty of updates along the way saying which store was dealing with my request (Chester and Plymouth stores), delivery date and time etc. It's nice to support a reasonably small chain instead of buying from somewhere like Amazon.

It was straightforward to order my camera lens online and I was surprised to receive it so quickly. I ordered it on a Sunday and it arrived on the Tuesday. Thanks.

Very knowledgeable staff member when discussing a Len’s for my 5D Mk4. Gave me the pros and cons of still using mirrored DSLR. I decided to stay with mirrored and purchased a second hand EF lens. All done over the phone.

Very satisfied with the purchase.
The camera arrived in great condition and works perfectly. Buying from a specialist camera shop gave me confidence that it had been professionally inspected and was ready to use. Very satisfied with the purchase.

Outstanding Service
Outstanding Service. Found a used Fuji XE2s, which I had been searching for a while. Prompt delivery and as new when arrived with half case and grip. One of Fuji's obscure classics - well pleased.

Lens arrived next day
Lens arrived next day even though I ordered close to or after the deadline. Lens was very well packed and when examined was in virtually pristine condition. I had been looking on various vendor and auction sites for this lens and found that the LCE price was very competitive and often better especially when you consider the six month warranty. Very happy with purchase and wish that all vendors could be like this.

Amazing service with used lens purchase
Bought a dream lens, had some minor damage in transit, though no-bodies fault, it was perfectly packaged. They arranged for repair and were fine that I needed to use the lens in the meantime.
Having previously worked in photographic retail myself for 23 years, this is the kind of service I always strived to give.
