Lens as described and quick delivery. Carefully packed with plenty of bubble wrap as original box not available. Fast focusing and very sharp images even at full aperture.

The Camera was well packed and delivered in the next available day. I had no problem with my purchase. I would recommend them to other potential customers.
Top customer service from LCE as usual.
I've used LCE for a long time now and their level of customer service both online and from a number of local shops has been consistently high. On this occasion the Exeter shop went above & beyond to save me some postage costs when I hadn't even asked them to. Highly recommended.

Above and Beyond
I want to take a moment to express my utmost appreciation for our local London Camera Exchange in Exeter branch and its exceptional team, led by the incredible manager.
He has done an absolutely fantastic job in creating an environment that goes above and beyond in every way. Every member of the shop's team deserves high praise for their outstanding dedication and service. Their willingness to share their extensive knowledge on cameras with customers is truly unbelievable. Whether it's answering questions, offering advice, the team consistently delivers an unparalleled shopping experience.
Manager's leadership is evident in the smooth operation of the branch and the positive atmosphere that greets you as soon as you walk through the door. It's clear that he genuinely cares about both his staff and the customers, and this is reflected in the exceptional service provided by everyone in this branch and you all deserve above and beyond recognition from above...You and your team hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed and are greatly appreciated by the entire photographers community.
I have been a customer of LCE for over 15 years.
Trustworthy site
Good communication around the sale. Trustworthy site, which supplies excellent used equipment, you can have confidence buying, knowing used kit is well tested and as described.
Prompt dispatch and used item exactly as described.
I bought a used lens from the Exeter store. Adam was very helpful and popped the lens in the post to be delivered next day. The lens was exactly as described - very happy with my purchase.
Excellant and helpful service
Helpful and quick service, second hand camera lens purchased, in good condition, would use again
Excellent service in store
Excellent service in store, really good product knowledge and advice.
Great experience
Matt and his colleagues were excellent; friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Excellent after sales service too. A very positive experience and I would certainly buy again from this shop.
Good communication and prompt delivery
Great until there is a problem!
Fast response arrived on time. But you never know what a retailer is like until you have a problem!
I stand by my review. I have a warranty with it and if I have a reason to send it back for repair or replace/refund, I will then find out what your customer care is like and only then will give more/less stars. Early days to give you a better mark. I have said you gave a fast response and the cam arrived on time. I believe this is fair comment and is only stating facts. Thankyou.
