Good lens at a great price, and held for me for a few days to decide. The addition of a nikon filter to protect the lens front element being included in the price was a nice bonus. Well packaged and... See more

The shop answered my questions and packed the goods securely. Unfortunately, I did not receive a PIN code from the courier so I had to wait an extra day for delivery. I'm pleased with my purchase.

London Camera Exchange - Manchester
Very pleased with my purchase from LCE. The OM D EM 1 mk iii camera body was just as described when I checked it by ringing the Manchester branch before I purchased it. The assistant was very helpful, in explaining in detail, the condition of both the body and the screen to me. Very reassuring to have a 6 month warranty in the event of any problems occurring. Have bought from them in the past and will do so again.

The detail & quality on your website of the products make it easier to make decision.
The speed in which you respond to the decision when I made it. That response was followed by extremely rapid delivery. I will continue to use you.
Help with camera upgrade
I phoned for a chat about upgrading to the Nikon Z8, and found the staff member very helpful. Because of credit card limit and an unwillingness to use debit card online, I explained I would come to Manchester next day to have a look at it and the staff member kindly put one aside. When I arrived I was able to get a feel for the camera in the hand (their display model) and I found it comfortable. The (different) staff member with whom I dealt was very helpful, and with the price being right (I was not prepared to buy from a"grey market" company) I made the purchase and went away happily. Good company to deal with - knowledgeable and friendly staff and a good range of cameras and accessories, though best to check if there is something specific you want to see.
Convenient location: Just round the corner is the stop for the Free Bus that takes you round the central area of Manchester, stopping at useful sites such as Piccadilly Station.
