Principal Sponsor - London Camera Exchange
Oxford Photomarathon are proud to be sponsored by London Camera Exchange, and grateful to Gareth and the team at the Oxford branch for making this happen.
London Camera Exchange can trace its origins back to the 1950s when the founders acquired premises in Guildford's Tunsgate from which they operated a photography studio.
Each store within the Group has retained an element of individuality and carries popular camera brands and models plus a range of stock chosen by its local manager and staff rather than by remote and faceless buyers. As well as catering for the needs of a keen photographer, most of the shops devote a lot of space to other types of optical equipment such as binoculars and telescopes. All the shops continue to offer part exchange facilities, enabling those with a growing interest to trade up to the latest offerings, and the range of used equipment on offer caters for those who prefer the models of yesteryear.
Whatever interest you might have in cameras, binoculars, telescopes, or their associated accessories, a visit to one of the 26 London Camera Exchange branches could be a rewarding experience. The helpful and knowledgeable employee-owners will guide you through the myriad choices and help you to make wise and informed choices. The competitively priced range of new equipment, constantly changing range of used items and great part-exchange offers will surely see you leave with a smile.
