5 star company
I’ve used them twice now and they have great communication and are really quick to deliver. Products are authentic. Very happy to use again in future.
Just visited this store
Just visited this store, not a single customer in the store, 3 guys behind the counter and not one of them engaged with me. When I approached the counter I had to engaged first saying "hi how you doing?" to which they replied "fine thanks" this wasn't reciprocated, infact the guy was very uninterested in my custom or offering me any service. Such a shame as I really wanted to buy myself a new camera and I had several questions to ask. I left without purchasing because I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome.

I've been coming to Guildford LCE for many years and always find them very helpful
All round excellent experience
Straight forward process from start to finish, with excellent and prompt communication. My order was received when expected and I was very happy with my purchase.
Stock sale result
After looking at your stock sale, it was good to see Lee Filters lens adapters on your list. As I had meant to add a missing size to complete my needs the offer was worth investigating. The size required was on your list, so an order was placed and delivery received very quickly. Ordering and payment method was easy to follow, with no problems. I was kept updated during the following days, until delivery.
First Class Service
A very easy and effective transition with LCE
A great price that was cheaper than the competition and delivered next day without extra charge.
Very impressive will be using again for sure!

Shout out to the two guys at the Reading branch. They were happy to let me play with the camera taking various photos and playing with the controls. They were able to answer my questions. The only reason I bought online is because they didn't have the lens I wanted in the store.

When I first placed my order there was a mix up and they had sold out. However the man who emailed me was very good at organising an alternative and it arrived promptly.
Well packaged. I was kept up to date with delivery .
Very fast service
Very fast service, great packaging of delicate lens (actually it looks tough as).
