I had such an enjoyable time yesterday at the Behind The Lens seminar hosted by LCE ay the International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln. Phil Dye the Red Arrow Photographer gave a very interesting presentation with great photos and video footage. I found the LCE staff very helpful and friendly and would recommend another event without hesitation.

Attended the seminar at International Bomber Command Centre on Thursday 2nd October with Cpl Phil Dye as the key speaker.

An hour well spent listening to the stories, hints and tips from the main man behind the lens of the Red Arrows.

A very well organised event by LCE Lincoln, and a lovely little touch to offer everyone that attended a Canon R5ii pin badge! This will be taking price of place on my camera bag.

The behind the lens talk at the International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln by Phil Dye, the Red Arrows photographer was fantastic. How he manages the fantastic photographs he showed us is a testament to his skill and passion for what he does. Really well organized by London Cameras. My wife was with me and is a huge Arrows fan. To top it all we had a Red Arrows fly past above the Command Centre spire. Great day.

Photography and the Red Arrows

Yesterday’s event at the International Bomber Command Centre with Corporal Phil Dye RAFAT was an absolutely fantastic insight into the life and role of a member of the RAF photographer and his time with the Red Arrows. I felt privileged to have found out about the event and secured a ticket.
Thank you to Phil Dye and the LCE team at Lincoln for putting the event on.

Great Red Arrows Event!

Thanks to the team at LCE Lincoln for organising the Red Arrows Seminar with Cpl Phil Dye. An enjoyable and informative presentation showing what the RAF Visual Communication team do as part of their work with the Aerobatic Team. Topped off with the Red Arrows Flypast of the International Bomber Command Centre.

Nikon 100-400mm lens

Fantastic service from placing the order to receiving it the next day, good communication, well packaged, a used item but looks in excellent cared for condition, Although I have not had the opportunity to use the lens yet, but I am confident it will be fit for purpose given the LCE warranty.
On my experience I have no hesitation in recommending them, as I would certainly use again.

Above and beyond

After the initial disappointment that the lens I had ordered was out of stock, Jamie at the Lincoln branch went above and beyond in his actions to source another one. His interventions ensured that I had my name on one of only three coming into the country in the next consignment, for that I will be forever grateful.

Will never buy again from LCE

Purchasing new photography equipment is supposed to be an exciting experience, but unfortunately, my recent purchase from LCE was anything but. I bought a printer on August 5th and immediately ran into issues.

After paying and scheduling the shipment, I was told the item was on backorder, even though it was listed as available. I had to wait over a week, and the store didn't contact me with updates as promised. When the printer finally arrived, the box was torn and had clearly been opened before. When I called to explain that the item didn't appear new and I was worried about placing it in my home, the response was rude and arrogant, including a comment that maybe my home was too small.

After 2-3 days with unpleasant phone calls, they eventually agreed to a return. It took another 2 days for them to collect the printer and an additional 2-3 days to receive a replacement. Ultimately, I paid for the item on August 5th and didn't receive an acceptable product until September 3rd.

Throughout the entire process, LCE took no responsibility for the issues, nor did they offer any compensation for the month-long delay and constant frustration. The customer service was consistently unhelpful and unpleasant. This was, without a doubt, the worst buying experience I've had in the UK, and I will not be purchasing from LCE again.

Dear Ami

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and taking our call to discuss the issues.

We’re very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet the high standards we aim to deliver. An A2 printer is a sizeable 40kg package, which can present logistical challenges with both delivery and returns.

You should have been kept fully informed throughout the process, and we regret that this was not the case.

We hope that you are satisfied with the replacement model.

Kind Regards

Your LCE Team

Fujifilm X-T50…

Had been to look at the Fujifilm X-T50 locally but unfortunately out of stock, got home and did a bit of googling and found LCE had one left, ordered it (Sunday evening) Monday morning had emails saying order passed firstly to their Chester branch then Lincoln to fulfill the order,started to wonder if it was a stock error but got a dispatch email later on the Monday, Tuesday my shiny new camera arrived! Couldn't be happier, excellent updates on the status of my order, fast delivery. Highly recommend using LCE.

Recommend. Delivery was swift and item exactly as described on the web site. Not had cause for customer service but I feel confident (from other reviewers) that I will get good service. Will use this company again in the future - if the price is right! LOL

Dishonest about stock

Ordered from them on a Wednesday instead of my normal supplier because their website claimed to have everything in stock. Was phoned a few hours later to be told that was wrong and they needed to wait until it came in on Thursday but would get it Friday. Told them I needed it urgently. They then didn't send it Thursday and there was no communication until DPD emailed to say they have problem. Turns out the store put it on a delivery for the following Tuesday anyway. Basically dishonest, uncommunicative and unhelpful.

Hi Rich,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

From the point of order through to delivery, we kept you updated on the supply situation, with the delay unfortunately caused by DPD misrouting the parcel. In addition, Team Lincoln offered a goodwill gesture as compensation for the inconvenience.

Given that we were transparent, communicative, and proactive in supporting you, it’s disappointing to see this reflected as a 1-star review.

Many thanks,
Your LCE Team
