Lens as described and quick delivery. Carefully packed with plenty of bubble wrap as original box not available. Fast focusing and very sharp images even at full aperture.

Trustworthy site
Good communication around the sale. Trustworthy site, which supplies excellent used equipment, you can have confidence buying, knowing used kit is well tested and as described.
Prompt dispatch and used item exactly as described.
I bought a used lens from the Exeter store. Adam was very helpful and popped the lens in the post to be delivered next day. The lens was exactly as described - very happy with my purchase.
Excellant and helpful service
Helpful and quick service, second hand camera lens purchased, in good condition, would use again
Excellent service in store
Excellent service in store, really good product knowledge and advice.
Great experience
Matt and his colleagues were excellent; friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Excellent after sales service too. A very positive experience and I would certainly buy again from this shop.
Good communication and prompt delivery
Great until there is a problem!
Fast response arrived on time. But you never know what a retailer is like until you have a problem!
I stand by my review. I have a warranty with it and if I have a reason to send it back for repair or replace/refund, I will then find out what your customer care is like and only then will give more/less stars. Early days to give you a better mark. I have said you gave a fast response and the cam arrived on time. I believe this is fair comment and is only stating facts. Thankyou.

Fast and Easy ordering process
I recently bought a used camera from this company, the process was simple and easy. I ordered it on a Sunday and the next working day received the link to buy. Confirmation and shipping details were sent same day and I received the camera the next day. The condition was as advertised- as new - and packed securely. Great service!
Good Price and Prompt Service.
I bought a used lens from LCE, at a good price and in the condition described in the advert. The lens was despatched just a couple of hours after purchase and was in my hands 24 hours later. The lens was securely packed and arrived safe and sound. Will certainly be using LCE again.
Excellent service
Excellent service. I purchased a second-hand item from the Exeter store. The item arrived on the day I requested it and was well-packaged.
