Excellent response to my problem
I bought a vintage camera which was in excellent cosmetic condition, but it turned out to have an unexpected and non-obvious fault. LCE refunded me very promptly and without question. Full marks for their exemplary response, which means I'd be happy to deal with them again.
An incredibly positive experience
As always, a super helpful and reliable service. I’ve been using this chain for years, and every single visit is a complete success. Pure professionalism. My favorite store in the chain is Derby—it’s local, and the staff is fantastic, always focused on helping and advising customers. Thank you so much for all our transactions so far.

The staff knowledge and friendliness is second to none. Would not shop anywhere else. Strongly recommend this company for all your camera equipment
Super-quick delivery, great price.
The guys in Exeter were super-quick dispatching my lens order which arrived promptly via DPD with a PIN required on delivery, a security measure which is much appreciated, as we’ve had a string of problems with parcels being left in insecure locations. The lens itself is in lovely condition and sold at a very competitive second-hand price. I have been confidently buying from London Camera Exchange for a number of years now and will continue to do so.
Online purchase
Received online purchase quickly and safely. Well presented, as-described product. Good website too

Fast & Safe Delivery: It was dispatched the very next day and arrived packed incredibly safely to ensure the optics were protected.
Top-Notch Quality: The lens itself is a great product and exactly as described.
Bottom line: Fast, reliable, and excellent quality control on used gear. I will definitely be buying from LCE again!

Exceptional, from all angles!
My initial enquiry was dealt with over the telephone by Pete at Exeter branch regarding a second hand DSLR and an additional lens which was located in the Guildford store.
Once I'd decided to go ahead with the purchase, LCE co-ordinated and organised for both items to be delivered, with ease and incredibly quickly!
The camera and lens are both in superb condition and exactly as described on the website.
I'm super happy with my new camera and lens, and the incredibly helpful and professional service I have received.
I have a long-standing personal connection to LCE and it's heart-warming to know that the company still provides quality products, good and professional advice, all with exceptional customer service at its' heart.
I'm not surprised at all that LCE are an award-winning company, and I highly recommend using them for any and all photographic equipment and related products.

Quick delivery and the video camera was exactly as described. I had tried the camera features and they all work correctly. Two Canon batteries and the commercial rain coat are nice extras.
