SIMPLE & FAST
The entire purchasing process could not have been simpler. A few clicks on my computer and it arrived a couple of days later at my doorstep.

Great lens, great price
Good fast response to questions, honest clear answers, have been using LCE for years now and find them to be great value as well as great products
The lens I bought matches the condition advertised perhaps a little better
Couldn't be happier with both performance and appearance.
Many thanks

This time, not 100%
I have bought from LCE on several occasions, but was slightly disappointed on this occasion. Purchased online, over the weekend, with 24 hours delivery. It arrived on the Wednesday. I sent a note on the Tuesday @15:18 (during working hours) and got a reply on the Wednesday, believe it was the Hereford Branch that fulfilled the order, to say it missed the local connection…what ever that is.

I always use LCE and woudn’t go anywhere else.
I always use LCE for buying or selling cameras and equipment and have never found the service anything other than exceptionally fast, efficient and effective. Everything is safely boxed and packed and the quality of the used equipment is outstanding. The latest lens I have bought does not even look used! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Dealing with LCE was great
Dealing with LCE was great. However my experience was let down by DPD. They failed to pick up my parcel two dayson the run. So Jack sent it by Royal Mail special Delivery. I gotit the next day. All this aside it would not stop me dealing with LCE in the future
