Been buying from them for years

I've been buying from this place for well over a decade and they have never let me down. The latest order was a replacement hood for an old lens I still use. Packed carefully and the box arrived intact. Prices remain sensible and the site has got easier to use over the years. Nothing to complain about, I'll keep coming back.

Sharper than the kit lens

Compared it with the lens that came with my body, and this one is clearly sharper in the corners at f2.8. Shipping was next day and the packaging was fine. The only snag was that the tracking page didn't update until the evening, so I was a bit in the dark for a while. Otherwise good value for what you get.

Better than the other sites

Compared it with two other sites before ordering and this one came out ahead on the price for the same lens filter kit. Ordered on a Tuesday evening and it turned up the following Monday, which was fine. The only thing I'd change is the checkout, it asked me to create an account twice and I had to go back and log in again. Otherwise no complaints and I'd happily order again.

a bit more than the rival site

This is a bit more than the rival site I usually use, but the lens cap and filter came in a nicer box so I didn't mind. Delivery was quick and the tracking worked. The checkout asked me to confirm my address twice which was slightly annoying. Would probably order again.

Exactly what i needed

I am delighted with my purchase from this company and would not hesitate to order from them again. The filter I bought arrived well packed and in good time, and the instructions were clear enough for someone who is not especially handy with a camera. Customer service answered my one query within the day. I found the prices very fair compared with the high street, and the whole experience was pleasant from start to finish.

Not as sharp as the big brand

I've used the bigger brand lenses for years and this one is noticeably softer at the edges when wide open. Fine for casual shooting but not quite what I'm used to. It was cheaper than the name brand so that's something. Delivery was a day late but the tracking was accurate. Probably wouldn't buy this model for paid work.

a lens hood for my old camera

I purchased a replacement lens hood for my older camera, as the original had cracked when it fell off a bench. The site listed it as fitting my model and it did, the fit is snug and sits straight. I was glad not to pay the manufacturer's price, which was considerably higher. The order arrived within the week and was carefully wrapped. I found the whole thing very straightforward and I shall certainly come back should I need anything else.

The 2 year warranty card

Spotted the two year warranty card in the box first thing, which was a nice touch. Checkout was quick on my phone and the confirmation email came straight away. Lens arrived next day, all good. Would order again.

a 50mm prime for the street work

Bought the 50mm prime for street photography and it has been on my camera most weekends since. Autofocus is quick enough for candids and the image quality at f1.8 is lovely with no obvious fringing. The lens hood came included which I didn't expect. Packaging was tidy and the order was dispatched the next working day. Very pleased, would buy from here again.

Needed something for a wedding

I needed a fast lens with a wide aperture for a wedding in a dim church and this seemed to have what I was after. Ordered on the Friday and it arrived with plenty of time to test it before the day. The focus ring feels solid and the lens is sharp wide open. Happy with it and would buy from them again.

took ages to sort the refund

Compared three shops before picking this one for a lens hood. The hood arrived fine but it was the wrong size for my lens. Sending it back was a bit of a faff, the returns form was fiddly and I had to ring twice to get a label. Eventually sorted but it took the best part of two weeks.

Still my first port of call

I have been ordering from this site for around six years now and it's still my first port of call for lens accessories. Prices are steady and the stock levels are usually good. Once a delivery went astray and it took a few days to get sorted, which was annoying but resolved. Still a good place to shop.

Needed it for a shoot

Needed a spare filter for a shoot on Saturday and the site had one in stock. Ordered Friday night, it turned up Monday which was fine. Price was decent and checkout was quick on my phone. Would use again.

Needed a cheap spare battery

Needed a spare battery in a hurry for a day out and wanted something that wasn't a fortune. Compared a few sites and this came out on top for price. The order took a couple of days to arrive which was fine. Battery works well so far. The one thing I'd say is the checkout asked for my details twice.

A bit of a wait for the flash

The stand out thing for me was the range of flashes and how well they described the differences between them, which saved me a lot of reading. The flash I chose came quickly, but the second item in the same order was on backorder and arrived almost a week later. I wasn't told about the backorder until after I'd paid. Otherwise a sensible place to buy from and the price was right.

looked at three before choosing

Looked at three different shops before picking this one for a backpack insert and a set of cleaning cloths. Price was the cheapest by a bit and the site is easy to use. Delivery came quickly. Would use again.

First order and it was dead easy

Ordered a camera strap and a little pouch for my first ever order with them and the checkout was quick, I didn't have to make an account. Everything turned up in two days in a plain cardboard box with a packing slip. The strap is comfy and the pouch fits my spare battery and a card. Would order again, they're on my list now.

Needed a lens hood for a school run

Needed a replacement lens hood because mine cracked and I didn't want to pay the manufacturer's price. Found one here at a good price and the order was quick. It fits the lens properly and does what it should. Good value and easy to order.

The bag came with a rain cover

Didn't expect the rain cover to come with the backpack for the price but it did. Ordered on a Sunday and it arrived Tuesday. Zips feel solid and it's a decent size for my kit. Nothing more to say, good stuff.
