Peterloy Reviews 

I have recently bought A Rolleiflex SL66 40mm Distagon from Peter, and as with previous purchases I've made, the lens was much nicer than expected. Buying from Peter is a much better option than E-Bay, his prices are much better, delivery is very quick, but the best part is that you really can buy with complete confidence. A very experienced and helpful dealer. Well worth a look!

Purchased a Snapshot Skopar with finder in very good condition ( better than described imho ) . Postage is extremely quick with the item delivered 2 days after purchase . This is my second purchase with Peter and can fully recommend 👍

I ordered a Canon lens hood
for the 50mm f1.8 lens by telephone. It was my first time dealing with Peter Loy Limited.
The process was easy.
Mr Loy answered the call and dealt with my query quickly and efficiently.
The item was delivered by post within 2 days securely and it was perfectly as described.
If you are looking for a photographic dealer check out his listings online and feel secure you will be dealt with professionally and have the product you want shipped out to you correctly.
I hope to do further business with the company.
Great customer service and great vintage products. Simples.

A great service and high quality items! Highly recommended.

Equipment supplied is always exactly as described. Always on time. Peter is honest and trustworthy and if you sell to him he will pay a fair price with prompt payment.

I have been purchasing cameras and photo equipment from Peter Loy for many years.You can rely on Peter to give you genuine condition reports on his items. His packing and service are top quality with very fast delivery.
It is no wonder that customers come from world-wide because they know they can rely on his service.
In my honest opinion he is top dealer in cameras and photo equipment in the U.K and a pleasure to deal with. W.C (Cheshire UK)

I have bought a Half plate camera from Peter Loy. As on other occasions, its condition was as described; if not better.
Very good communication and very fast delivery.
Thank you very much. Javier T

My first experience dealing with Peter Loy and it was first class: lens, as described, in beautiful condition, arrived securely packaged the next day, all very straightforward

I have dealt with Peter Loy over a long time both buying from him as well as selling to him. He has always been very trustworthy and easy to do business with.
I can recommend him wholeheartedly.

Excellent prompt response, efficient and straightforward transaction.

Peter was prompt in answering my initial query and very helpful. Shipped the item that I purchased same day, well packed and the item was in perfect condition (Leica IIIf manual). Very happy with the excellent and prompt customer service. I look forward to future business with Peter as funds allow.

Highly recommended.

Great service, accurate description of the item, fast communication and delivery.

I heard about Peter Loy and his excellent reputation on a camera forum so was excited when I saw a rare camera I was after (a Nikon SP) in his extensive stock list. The camera arrived the following day and I was more than impressed by it's condition, the description was very fair and accurate and for once I'd bought a second hand camera that arrived spotlessly clean! I'd highly recommend Peter Loy and will use him again in future.

I ordered a vintage camera from Peter Loy Ltd yesterday, having located it on their extensive website list. The order process was very straightforward and the telephone conversation was extremely helpful. The camera arrived this morning and was carefully packed and exactly as described. I am absolutely delighted with the service.

Easy ordering, fast delivery, good price and better than expected. I would be confident to place further orders.

I'd say that if you are tempted by item on Peter's website to just go for it, from my experience it will have been described accurately, and in my case both times I've bought from him the item(s) have actually exceeded my expectations. Communication is excellent, shipping very fast and good value, the items for sale are good value as well, at least on a par with eBay but without the risk. Looking forward to the next purchase already!

For several decades, Peter has made a name for himself as the UK's pre-eminent dealer of Leica and other collectible photographica. This is because his knowledge of vintage cameras is positively encyclopaedic, and he may be utterly relied upon, both to identify any item, and to accurately describe the condition of his stock with unerring precision.

One of the things I love about Peter's approach to selling photographic equipment is that he does not list on eBay. Frequently-abused adjectives such as "minty"are conspicuously absent. He doesn't, and doesn't need to, talk his stock up—because he is Peter Loy. You know, when you purchase, that your item will be precisely as described when it arrives, and that buying it will be straightforward and free of fuss.

Peter makes it all seem so easy, I don't understand why other dealers can make buying a camera so hard.

There are dealers in vintage photographic dealers, really good dealers: and then there's Peter.

Recently bought a 50mm Distagon lens from Peter and the whole experience exceeded my expectations.

Communication was excellent and fast, the price was very competitive, the condition of the lens was better than I'd expected, packing was exemplary and delivery very quick. To be honest, it's difficult to see how Peter's service could be improved.

This was my first purchase but a friend who's bought quite a few things from Peter said it's all par for the course.

Very speedy dispatch & delivery. Hoping to buy more from Peter soon>

This was my first time dealing with this long established company, and I don't think it will be the last. Prompt reply to a query, followed by swift delivery of the camera. Then in an age when so many people seem to be supremely optimistic when describing their goods, it was an absolute delight to find that the camera actually exceeded my expectations when it arrived. I would buy here again without any hesitation.
