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.
Excellent advice and service

Great company to deal with
Great company to deal with, both online and in store. ( Strand branch ). Competitive prices, good stock levels, good delivery communication. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. My go to retailer for optics, video and photography. Been using them for years.
SIMPLY THE BEST, BETTER THAN ALL THE REST.
This company the London branch has what has been lost through out UK, also the entire world, with the rise of the Internet, and larger and larger shops, which is personal care, that original time stamped professionalism that is just not available anywhere, that family orientated atmosphere, but most of all prices that comfortably suits everyone, they also buy and exchange your goods, I conversed with Andy 👍

Absolutely outstanding customer service from the first email to the last, then from the store assistant. Thank you Andy for all your help. Thank you to the store assistant as well.
Always a good experience
Always a good experience. This time I bought a 'well used' canon EF 500 f4 mkII - it was a really good price even considering the condition and the optics turned out to be top drawer. Many thanks!
