LCE is an employee owned store in the heart of London, maybe that's why the guys that work there take time to discuss purchases, are knowledgable, not pushy & so helpful! Thanks guys I finally made a decision!

Why I have shopped with LCE recently…
Why I have shopped with LCE recently and in the past, is because they have responded quickly with any questions or concerns I have had when buying.
And, if I had made a decision that wasn't quite right, ie an incorrect choice of lens for my collection, they pointed out the error, and offered me an exchange or a prompt refund, which is much better than being offered a voucher or an inferior item.
So, I can wholeheartedly recommend LCE for your custom when you are seeking either new or used equipment!

24-35 F2 Sigma Art
Purchased a few lenses from London Camera Exchange over the years. This particular lens was 24-35 Sigma Art lens. Which is pin sharp especially at F2.8. Great to know the lens has been professionally checked over as it’s 2nd hand and comes with warranty. Free next day delivery always helps too. I highly recommend them for piece of mind and warranty too.
