Written by the company

LCE first established itself in Bristol on Baldwin Street in the 1970s, becoming well known as a trusted dealer in new and used equipment. In 1993 a second LCE branch opened on The Horsefair, and in 2021 moved its Bristol shop to a new location on the picturesque Park Street. This newly refurbished store is regularly praised for its ample space for demonstrating products in a relaxed way as well as its modern, spacious look. We offer a wide range of services including 35mm developing and printing, sensor cleaning, camera repairs and tape transfers. The team at LCE Bristol Park Street have a broad variety of photographic experience and interest, including those who shoot rangefinder cameras (both digital and analogue), committed 35mm shooters as well as mirrorless camera enthusiasts.

Online and intore shopping at LCE

Used LCE quite a few times over the last 5 years and they offer a great service. They have always communicated very effectively and kept me informed at every step for my online transactions. Good choice of products, combined with experienced and polite staff, I can recommend using LCE for your photographic requirement.

Brilliant service

I phoned the local branch to ask if a certain camera and lens were in stock, they advised they were not but they sourced them from another location and I received them the next day. Brilliant service.

Five Star Service from LCE Bristol

Traded in a Sony A7 IV for an A7R IV at the LCE store in Bristol, on what was a very pleasurable and straight forward transaction.
I received great service from Euan, who was very knowledgeable and very professional along with a very friendly and welcoming greeting from all the staff.
I’ll definitely be buying from LCE again especially the Bristol store.

They had the lens in stock and at a sale price, all good. Then my card had a bad chip so wouldn't read. Had to return to computer and pay online. Didn't have time to walk back to the shop so had to have it posted the ¼ mile to me. Frustrating and time consuming but not London Cameras Exchanges fault. (Replacement card arrived week latter).

Very happy with used lens purchase.

I bought a used lens. It was extremely well packed, dispatched quickly, and if anything is in better condition than was described. It's reassuring to buy from a legitimate business, and LCE's prices in this case compared favourably with going rates on eBay. I'm very satisfied, and fully expect to be a repeat customer.
