Four photographers in a range of genres share their positive experience of buying and selling camera equipment with MPB
-

Now is the perfect time to consider buying or selling used cameras, lenses and accessories. You can save money on a nearly new/preloved camera or lens while still getting all the benefits (we've got a huge reviews database online at amateurphotographer.com.com). If you are selling gear, it's also a tried-and-tested way of raising money for a new purchase or profitably clearing clutter.
MPB is now the UK's best-known used camera and lens specialist, and as these four photographers reveal, MPB makes the whole buying and selling process as painless as possible. You now get an unbeatable 12-month warranty on used equipment you buy from MPB and your purchase comes carefully packed in environmentally friendly packaging; sell to MPB and the company arranges prompt and efficient courier pick-up from your door.
As these four very different photographers reveal, it couldn't be easier.

America's Cup. Marc Newson Art Edition
Let's be clear: America's Cup. Marc Newson Art Edition is not a book, it's a broadside. A glorified trophy disguised as a publication. Yours for £12,500 - that's a year's rent, a used van, or about 3,000 issues of AP. Full disclosure - I didn't receive a press review copy.
