I bought a used Canon 16-35 f2.8l. Very well packed, as when it arrived the box was significantly damaged but the lens was fine. The price was extremely competative and delivery was the next day. The... See more

Very polite and helpful staff only dealt with them over thr phone but the service was excellent and the equipment i bought second hand was as good if not better than descriped so very pleased all round . Many thanks Mark.
Reliable camera shop
Clear website, competitive price, rapid and reliable delivery. I've bought from LCE in the past, and will probably do so in the future. Although I purchased by mail order, it is reassuring to know that they have local branches.
Good service
Have used both facilities
Have used both facilities, mainly in shop (Gosforth) and on line. Both excellent services with knowledgeable help when needed
The LCE Exeter branch gave great service
The LCE branch at Exeter responded very quickly to my purchase order and sent the item promptly. The item was a Nikon D850 and it was accurately described on the website and came with all of the components as advertised. This is not the first time that I have used LCE and have shopped in their branch in The Strand over many years. I highly recommend LCE.
Excellent
Dealt with Chester store to trade old for new… I shopped around and basically spot on pricing relative to the other big camera retailers. Really pleasant staff, effective processes, zero issues. Would unreservedly recommend to anyone at any point in photography wanting to buy or trade in gear.

I wanted to replace my old camera with a better model. I found a used EOS 90d on their website which is exactly what I was after. It arrived very quickly, was well packaged and in excellent condition. Just need to save up for some better lenses to go with it!

Exceptional service and the used product was better than advertised. Very happy.

Great service, easy to use website which makes it easy to find what you are looking for
The usual brillant service from…
The usual brillant service from ordering to being updated as to its progress in the delivery as I ordered online as I was not able to get to the store in the logistics aspect. However, I have actually visited this particular store over many years now so know the service is good. This item, although secondhand, was well described and lived up to its description on arrival. I have dealt with assorted LCE branch's over the years for both new and secondhand items and not been disappointed and why I still patronise them.
