We...uh, used to buy old cameras.

And we had been doing it every single day for over a decade - we loved every minute of it. We have now closed our doors and are no longer buying or selling photographic equipment.

Even people from Lancashire agree... we were alright at this camera lark.

We are no longer accepting equipment.

We have now closed both our online store and physical shop. As such, we are no longer accepting equipment for purchase.

All of us here at West Yorkshire Cameras want to remain a part of the film photography community going forward, so as we are finishing everything up, we are still committed to providing quality, honest service that we've built the shop around for the last decade.
