Great service
Purchased a canon 6D from Southampton store and a lens from another store. Service was great from both, whatever store I deal with the they are always brilliant. So much better than the larger camera dealers. Thank you LCE.

Why go anywhere else?
Friendly and very knowledgeable people.
Filled in online trade-in form and they soon got back to me with a very fair price for my scope.
A new scope was ordered for me and it was delivered when LCE said it would be.
Try these guys before going elsewhere,you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing service
A young man at the counter was very helpful- he agreed to look at my camera and fixed it for me, explaining what had gone wrong. When asked how much it was, he said it was free, which is absolutely amazing!
I surely recommend this place!
