A great service, I found a second hand Canon EF 2X III Extender, that I was told later had only just come in to the shop, and ordered it, albeit after 2pm so it wouldn't be next day delivery. The e... See more

Excellent service

I spotted a vintage Olympus lens on the web site and within two days I was out taking photographs with it.
Exactly as described it it in great condition and I’m looking forward to seeing the results of its first outing when the film is processed.

Pre owned part order

2nd hand / used parts index was easy to use, price was great value, after ordering receipt was 5 mins. To confirm order, 48 hrs later came through door. Well packaged to prevent damage, goods were in near perfect condition as expected.

Top Class Service

I was in the market for a high end heavy duty tripod and found a nice used Gitzo 5541LS on London Camera Exchange at their Newcastle shop.
I asked some questions prior to buying as I needed some information about the product and they got straight back to me and answered all my questions.
I could tell from the emails they were genuinely interested in helping guide me with my purchase.
Once they had answered all my questions I had no hesitation making the purchase and the tripod was packaged and sent next day, I live in Folkestone so was really surprised at how quickly they sent it and all I can say is what a purchase. The tripod is every bit as described. Such a nice easy transaction with really helpful staff.
I have absolutely no hesitation recommending LCE, it makes owning top quality gear affordable, owning a Gitzo was something I could only ever dream of but LCE have such an extensive range of good quality used products I have been able to afford my dream tripod at a really good price.

Excellent service and advice

I went in to the Newcastle shop wanting information about a new mirrorless camera. Richie gave a comprehensive overview of options and answered all my questions - he clearly knew the cameras in detail and was able to provide tailored advice, without doing an unwelcome hard sell on anything. As a result I had no hesitation going there again when I decided to buy, and the whole process of purchase and delivery was seamless. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic service as always from the London Camera Exchange. Incredibly fast and efficient service even during very busy holiday period with next day delivery arriving in time for Christmas. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend them for buying new or used camera gear. Many thanks. A+++++
