The detail in the description of the product convinced me it would work to adapt my Nikon F mount lens to the new Z 8 Nikon I had just bought. The product arrived ahead of time which was just in time... See more

I couldn't believe the Price difference from the main dealers, I thought it can't be right, but I asked about a few Birders and was told it is. So I thought I'd bite the bullet and order the Sony a7v.... See more

7th Purchase

This 28 - 400 mm carry about lens is the 7th purchase I have made from Cotswold over the years and in each case the sale has been completed with no issue. I would definitely recommend and will use again 5*****

Very cautious at first

Very cautious at first as I have never, knowingly, purchased items through a UK Grey import supplier. However I read reviews and looked for feedback from customers who had used Cotswold Cameras; who's eased my concern. Anyway I took the bate and everything went well with no issues, with good communications. Received my camera around 2/3 weeks later and I was very pleased with the product and my savings £££ I made.
Would definately use Cotawold Cameras again.

Exceptional price and service - even when there is a problem

Have bought 3 cameras and several lenses here - always great value and good service. But the test is always when something goes wrong! The latest body (Nikon z6iii) had a minor fault - no argument, they took it straight back and immediately sent out a brand new replacement. Will always use and recommend them in the future.

My brand new o system Olympus 50-200…

My brand new o system Olympus 50-200 2.8 pro arrived in super quick time last week perfectly wrapped,
Been out using it every day since and it’s totally worth every penny,virtually every shot is pin sharp and it’s just a joy to use.
I’ve been using Cotswold cameras for years now and they have never let me down so would definitely recommend.

Amazing

I've bought a couple of things with these guys now and won't buy camera equipment anywhere else.

The prices are amazing, roughly 20 to 30 less than retail for the items I've purchased.! It's all genuine gear just imported from counties where consumers don't get ripped off.

I'd highly recommend them. Both orders have arrived within their 7 to -4 day window.

Why bother going elsewhere when you can…

Why bother going elsewhere when you can purchase from Cotswold Cameras. So far I have bought a Nikon Z9 , a teleconverter, and a 180-600 Len’s all new and all very well priced . I’ve had no problems with ordering or delivery , highly recommended. Regards Len

Confidence

I ordered a D850 Nikon with a lens and they were cheaper than anywhere on the internet by about £40.00. But because they were UK based, I felt happy they were dealing with the import from aboard etc. Came just in time for my first holiday and didn't disappoint. Nixon original packaging, manual, charger etc and lens too. Would use these guys again, disappointed that I didnt sign up for the loyality points. Nice experience.
