With the physical shop having closed its doors some time ago and the number of items on the website slowly ticking down, I thought my buying days at WYC were over. But having read reviews... See more

Very efficient service. Was able to book an appointment to sell my equipment online, which meant no delay in the valuation. Carried out a very thorough evaluation of the equipment and gave me a detail... See more

Excellent service - fair and honest pricing

I searched for a while to find a suitable home for my assortment of film camera bodies and lenses. WYC fitted the bill perfectly and were a pleasure to deal with. Their assessments of the equipment were fair and accurate and I was pleased with the prices they offered. On giving my acceptance, they paid the agreed amount straight away.

Cheaper than eBay!

Found through the 'usedlens' online search website. Great company to deal with, bought a used lens which worked out cheaper than what they commonly fetch on eBay. Condition was better than expected plus it comes with a warrenty - and a free Yorkshire Tea teabag! What's not to like?

10/10 for West Yorkshire Cameras

As a retiring professional photographer, I recently sold a large amount of film camera equipment to West Yorkshire Cameras. Howard and his team are a pleasure to deal with and are incredibly knowledgable.
I was offered a fair price for my gear and was paid within 24 hours of agreeing the price. I cannot recommend them highly enough. 10/10

Exceeded expectations

I bought a camera from WYC that was rated as condition Exc, which with many retailers means "a bit scruffy", but it turned out to be much better than that.
The camera was delivered exactly when I was told it would and in excellent packaging.
My new favourite camera shop.

Brilliant service

The team have been brilliant. They sent me the camera very quickly and in time for it to be given as a gift. It was as described and it works perfectly. One happy customer!

I have dealt with company for years

I have dealt with company for years, buying my first camera from them when they were back at the Corn Exchange. I have bought several cameras and many lenses from them. On each occasion I feel that the item description tends to favour the buyer; the last tto lenses were both described and priced as “average” but I feel te lenses were better, and good value.

Excellent Customer Service

I called in on the off chance to see if they would be interested in buying cameras that my late father had. They normally work on an appointment basis only but they took the time to take a look. I found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. I had a quote sent to me and payment received within a day from accepting. I would highly recommend West Yorkshire Cameras and the team.

A Gem For All Photographers!

These folks went above and beyond. They entertained my cheeky request which shows their level of greatness. The products were in top shape and I cannot recommend WYC enough! They’re my first search for my photography needs and they should be yours, too.
