What customers say
Alex at South West Camera delivered the highest level of customer service I've experienced anywhere. He truely went above and beyond with a professional and personal approach. Couldnt ask for more. You are in good hands here.
Having originally contacted Alex regarding a repair for a camera I purchased elsewhere that had developed some faults, he’s provided nothing but an A class service.
Fantastic service! 10/10. Cannot recommend SWCC enough! Alex has done an incredible job as a repair technician and as a decent human being! Sent off my fm2 for a CLA, which turned into an overhaul due to some corrosion that was sort of fine but will develop issues later down the line.
This is my Nikon FM2 + Vintage Strap which I am so very happy with! The camera itself was fully serviced and checked by South West Cameras. I have a real soft spot for these cameras as I have another 2x FM2's from my University days from when I did my Photography Degree in Edinburgh back in the very early 1990's.
