Quality Products and Quality Service

The Manchester Branch was very helpful in advising on delivery options and arranged "Click & Collect" from the LCE Portsmouth Branch. Good communications from Staff at both branches resulted in swift, safe arrival of my purchase. Goods were exactly as described and competitively priced.

Great service

I was very impressed with the speed of delivery (less than 24 hours) and how well the camera was packed. But most of all, its condition exceeded my expectations based on the information on their website.

I trust this company

I’ve bought items from the LCE in the past and find their prices to be fair and I’ve been happy with the quality of the things I’ve bought. That includes lenses and camera bags. The service is fast and they use DPD. Would recommend.

A good exchange

I identified the Camera body I wished to purchase and the lenses I wished to use in Part exchange. I received a fair part exchange valuation and the camera selected was in perfect condition when received as described on the web site. Excellent

Excellent in every way

Excellent in every way, from first telephone call to very quick delivery of an excellent used Canon R6 Mk 2 at a competitive price plus good trade in values. LCE long been my favourite photo supplier. This time I bought remotely from Manchester.
