Bath

Bath is one of the world’s most photogenic cities, it’s also home to an ever growing community of highly rated professional photographers as well as enthusiasts even the best of bloggers are using ‘real’ cameras to capture superior imagery. And central to it all many of them will be regular customers of Bath’s best camera and optical store, London Camera Exchange.

There has been a photographic store on the Abbey corner of Cheap Street for more years than most can remember, with the small independent LCE taking over from Cyril Howes in the mid 80s and despite the huge advances in photographic and optical technologies, the core principles of LCE remain the same - it’s all about the professional expertise and most all the great customer service the staff offer.

With their broad knowledge they are always happy to give help or advice. Some of them, including Mark the Manager, used to be Professional Photographers and some are avid Bird watchers so know exactly what their customers might need, and are of course pretty adept at problem solving.

LCE’s main speciality these days are in cameras and binoculars. For photographers they are a Nikon Professional dealer, Panasonic Lumix Elite centre, Sony Professional centre and also keep ranges of Fujifilm, Olympus and Canon cameras. Regarding Optics they have a huge array of binoculars and spotting scopes priced from £19.99 to over £3000. Top end brands include Nikon, Swarovski, Vortex, Bresser, Opticron and Carl Zeiss. With close links to the now closed outlet in Chew Valley; Bath LCE are fulfilling all optical business which is why they are have a great variety of stock available and also are the centre for most of the company’s online binocular and spotting scope sales.

As the name suggests LCE will buy or part exchange equipment so customers can bring in their old gear to upgrade to newer models. It’s almost a form of recycling, but also a great way to purchase quality used equipment from a trusted source. The LCE team also like to be fully involved in local photographic and optical affairs and their expert knowledge can be found as they support local camera clubs.

Throughout the year they host various events and some major shows where the top camera and optic manufacturers also take part to advise and give demonstrations. These include in store days, Camera walks and training sessions in local venues.
