Used lens purchase
I have bought used and new from LCE over the years. This purchase was a used Sony lens. I made an offer using the message option in the used listing and it was accepted after a couple of hours - very quick indeed. Purchase was then easy via the link provided and delivery next working day by DPD. All excellent quick service as usual from LCE.

Amazing manchester store
The staff at the Manchester store were amazing. Provided excellent and well formed opinions on options based on my use cases allowing me to make a well informed decision.
The canon r7 i eventually brought has been superb so far and I would never have brought it without their help

ALWAYS brilliant
I've bought lots of used gear from LCE over the years. ALWAYS top quality service. Condition is exactly as described. Here the following day. I've changed my mind about a couple of items and returned them with absolutely no trouble

I really valued the advice I was given
I really valued the advice I was given; I visited the Manchester branch three times before buying the right camera for me (not the one that I originally thought) each time getting questions answered in a friendly and understandable way; four weeks on I know that I made the right choice. I got all the information I needed, without ever feeling a pressure to rush my purchase. Adding the right lens last week was easy.
