We are closing, but not disappearing straight away - our website will operate online as normal for the time being. All orders will be dispatched as usual, and you will still be able to collect online orders at the shop by prior arrangement if you prefer. All existing warranty periods on past purchases are still valid, and all gift card holders will be contacted to advise on using any remaining balance. If you have equipment with us for sale or any other reasons, don’t worry - we’ll get through it as normal.
Our annual sale will be going ahead online and - as you may expect - this time it’s going to be a big one. The rare opportunity to get your endgame camera or lens at a substantial discount is real.
Beginning at 00:01 on Sunday 24th November with our traditional 10% off, every week the discount will increase by 10% increments up to a maximum of 50% off. It will apply to all stock - new and second hand. Because we are totally clearing out the shop, we’re going to work our butts off to make sure every single thing in our shop is available for sale on that date, no holding back.
- Sunday 24th November: 10% off.
- Sunday 1st December: 20% off.
- Sunday 8th December: 30% off.
- Sunday 15th December: 40% off.
- Sunday 22nd December onwards: 50% off.
There’s no need for a code, the website will automatically sort it out. Our standard sale rules apply.
Postage may take longer than usual as there’ll be pretty much just me dispatching items. You’re welcome to collect items in store by prior arrangement.
In the new year (date TBC) there will be a fixtures and fittings sale at the shop, where you can come and make me an offer for any of the remaining stock, as well as posters, cabinets, cool stuff and other vintage photography paraphernalia that adorns the shop. Heck, you can even buy the carpet if you want.

Also in the interest of fairness, please do not ask us to apply any of the discounts early - you will be met with swift and brutal sarcasm if you do.
