Great support, advice and help from Marc.

Spoke to one of the guys called Marc via email, who was very helpful in allying any apprehensions I had in buying a used camera as up until now I have only purchased new. Quick despatch and quick delivery were great and I soon saw I had nothing to be concerned about.

Ready SUPPORT on customer needs

Contact and support all through purchase and delivery on schedule. Had difficulty in payment but with the quick support of the staff, the problem was located which helped me decide to use alternative payment. My order was quickly free dispatched next day. Had no problem with the quality of the camera and other equipment I bought.

Excellent service

Excellent service!
After researching online for a Samyang 35mm f/1.8 lens for Sony, I came across your website and was pleasantly surprised by the competitive pricing. The lens was described as being in "nice condition," and the listing included clear photographs, which gave me confidence in my purchase.

Upon receiving the package, I was impressed by the careful and secure packaging. When I inspected the lens, I was genuinely surprised—it was in excellent condition, almost like new, despite being listed as used. The quality exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

London Camera Exchange is a company I can trust. Great product descriptions, fair pricing, and attention to detail in packaging and shipping set you apart. I will definitely consider LCE for future purchases and will recommend you to others.
