Great service as usual and the best prices on the market!
Great service
Easy to deal with, came when I expected it. Package was well packed and lens works perfectly.
Fantastic customer service from…
Fantastic customer service from Richard. An absolute credit to the business. I have recently had assistance from Richard in the Manchester branch not once but three times and each time he has gone above and beyond in assisting me with advice and guidance and selling me items, sometimes considerably lower in cost but much more of benefit to what I was trying to achieve. Nothing is too much trouble, he takes time to listen and understand and then offer professional advice. The only place I have ever felt listened to and guided this way was with the Apple stores. If only more business could work this way instead of seeing just the ££ signs. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for advice or future purchases.
Consistently reliable sellers

Excellent Service
My purchase of a S/H lens was straight forward with my queries for further information answered promptly. The delivery was by DPS ( very reliable ) at the time given earlier that day, it arrived well packed and exactly as described.
In use it feels good with little sign of wear, the results are good as well. Thank you
Fast delivery and great service
Ordered online at 3 pm. Website said 2pm was the cutoff for next day delivery. But London Camera Exchange were brilliant and sent it out the same day. It arrived on next day delivery. V pleased with my lense and very fast delivery. Will buy from this LCE again.
Great service from Gary at Manchester LCE
Gary responded quickly to my question regarding compatability of the lens with my camera.
He was also very helpful with resolving issues with my method of payment.
A link with DPD Local came through the following morning and the lens was delivered safely and well packaged early afternoon of the same day.
The lens is of the quality stated, I would buy from London Camera Exchange again.

Phoned the shop in Manchester and they were very helpful with explaining the condition of the lens and couldn’t be happier when to arrived! Basically looked new
Great deal
Great deal, wasn’t expecting it boxed with all the extras included in the price, I was delighted !!!!
Fantastic Service.
All the staff I spoke to were really helpful and managed to get my new camera to me over a bank holiday weekend!
It was truly impressive, so much so I ordered another cheap second hand camera from them three days later...

I’m always cautious about buying a used item, but the lens from LCE Manchester was exactly as described and with all original packaging. It would be nice if LCE offered a 12 month warranty like the two main competitors rather than the 6 months, so fingers crossed it doesn’t fail.
