You can improve your images in


many ways, but on one thing we can


all agree: a step up in your set-up can


make a huge difference in taking


your photography to new heights


Outstanding

gear isn’t out

of reach

W


hen you’re on a
tight budget, it
can be tough to
justify buying
more gear. But there are ways
to upgrade your set-up without
taking a massive hit to your
bank balance. With MPB, you
might be able to shoot with an
out-of-this-world set-up sooner
than you think.
MPB specialises in used kit,
which means our gear costs
less. When you want to save
money, choosing used is a
no-brainer – but it’s only the
first step in smart saving. Here
are a few more of our tips.


A rich history
It’s no secret that retailers can
be preoccupied with selling you
the latest – and most expensive



  • products. As a used


specialist, we have a seriously
dynamic range of gear,
spanning decades of releases.
In fact, this means we’re able
to stock around four times as
many unique models compared
to the brand-new market.
It’s true that every new
generation comes with updates
and extra features. But it’s also
the case that they’re not always
relevant. Every photographer’s
work requires entirely different
things. Why pay a premium for
features that won’t necessarily
help your photography? It’s not
the best investment.
Fortunately for photographers,
camera equipment isn’t built
with any planned obsolescence


  • unlike other electronics.
    Some dinosaurs of the camera
    world still give the ‘new blood’
    a real run for their money. Not


sure what gear you need? Feel
free to get in touch with our
team. We’re proud to have the
freedom to offer completely
impartial advice – we’re
not linked to any
camera manufacturers.

Well used, used well
For every model we trade,
we offer options in a spectrum
of condition grades, all at
different price points. On
the surface, our ‘well used’ or
‘heavily used’ options might
not look as perfect as their
‘like new’ and ‘excellent’
counterparts – but your photos
undoubtedly will. Our product
specialists thoroughly check
every camera, lens, drone and

accessory to ensure they’re
in perfect working condition,
regardless of cosmetics. We
even include a six-month
warranty, for your peace
of mind.

Trade in
It’s the easiest way to free up
funds. We know it’s human
nature to procrastinate, and
the idea of selling things can
seem like a hassle. And in

We always have a comprehensive
variety of used gear in stock

If you’re thinking of trading in, we’ve
made the process as easy as possible
