LCE first established itself in Bristol on Baldwin Street in the 1970s, becoming well known as a trusted dealer in new and used equipment. In 1993 a second LCE branch opened on The Horsefair, and in 2021 moved its Bristol shop to a new location on the picturesque Park Street. This newly refurbished store is regularly praised for its ample space for demonstrating products in a relaxed way as well as its modern, spacious look. We offer a wide range of services including 35mm developing and printing, sensor cleaning, camera repairs and tape transfers. The team at LCE Bristol Park Street have a broad variety of photographic experience and interest, including those who shoot rangefinder cameras (both digital and analogue), committed 35mm shooters as well as mirrorless camera enthusiasts.
