bill Posted January 13, 2007 Share #1 Posted January 13, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just a quick word of praise for London Camera Exchange in Guildford. Ok, I have put substantial funds their way over the years, but they provide a good, informed service and, unusually in this day and age for a high street shop keep a good range of secondhand equipment. Although they occasionally have sales (usually 20% off for a limited time) you can always haggle. In the past few weeks I bought my IIIc and RD-1 there, both secondhand, and both knocked down. Anyway, the point of this particular ramble is this. I picked up a Summitar from eBay a couple of weeks ago. It came capless. Not a problem for the rear, but a pain for the front, hence my recent post on the subject. I wandered into LCE today with camera and lens and found the assistant who had sold me the camera. I asked if they might have anything that would fit. He was genuinely interested in the lens and chatted with me about it for a while before disappearing into the back of the shop. He returned with a plain black plastic push-on cap, no doubt originally intended for binoculars or the like, and charged me precisely nothing. Good service costs nothing. I'll be back. Regards, Bill Oh, and by the way, there was a Digilux 1 in there for £199... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted January 13, 2007 Share #2 Posted January 13, 2007 Oh, and by the way, there was a Digilux 1 in there for £199... And you left it there? Plastic caps cost beggar all, but return their investment time and again. I have always had good service at LCE too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
masjah Posted January 14, 2007 Share #3 Posted January 14, 2007 Plastic caps cost beggar all, but return their investment time and again. Unless they are Leica lens caps that is! Nice to hear of good, helpful service. [OT: We've got a local jeweller like that. "Lost earing retainer clip madam? Have this one from our odds and ends box - no charge. Safety chain snagged off at one end from your watch strap madam? It'll just take a moment - no charge." We'll be back there too. (Hugh Rice in Hull if anyone is passing through!)] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
