Worth 4.5 stars. Great service.
Worth 4.5 stars.
DSLR cameras are mystery to me, but took the plunge and bought used Canon DSLR, after good advice from LCE Portsmouth, they know what they are talking about with cameras.
Delivery very good.

Great service.
I spoke to two different people on the phone. Both were friendly and very helpful. My lens arrived the next day, suitably packaged and, exactly, on time. I will, definitely, deal with LCE again.

Purchasing a monocular
I wanted a monocular to take on a cruise as I can't get on with a binocular. I was helped by a very knowledgeable young man who was very patient and listened to my requirements before offering sound advice. I made a purchase and I am very pleased.
I recommend the Portsmouth branch.
