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... See more

Team work👌
This is to acknowledge both Chester and Manchester sales teams.
I purchased online, on Saturday 10May a used lens from the Chester store, I then contacted the store to have it transfered to Manchester as I would not be in for the delivery. The Salesman at Chester (Marc G) arranged this. When it arrived at Manchester the Sales (unfortunatley name escapes me) there contacted me and realising he past my address on his way home and offered to drop it off.
Both of your salesteam members went out of their way to get the lens to me.
Well done LCE.

A used lens purchase from Chester
I telephoned the Chester branch about a Sony 85 mm lens on the morning of 10th April. The assistant was very knowledgeable, polite, professional and helpful without any high pressure sales talk. I reflected on the purchase and at about 10.45 am I went on to the website to complete the purchase. I had the lens in my hands the following day at 1.00 pm and am impressed with it. Thank you LCE Chester for your service and I would certainly recommend.

As Described (not that common)
Fast and free delivery and the camera was exactly as described. I’ve been after a D7000/71000 or 72000 for a while. Every one that I’ve tried has had a defect that wasn’t mentioned in the ad. This one was perfect!

Used Sigma lens
I phoned the Chester shop to enquire about the used lens I wanted and asked about its condition. Very friendly and informative conversation. I bought the lens online and it arrived the next day. The condition of the lens was even better than I expected. Fantastic!
