As reported by AP earlier this year, the Cherished Camera Company specialises in selling second-hand Canon and Nikon DSLRs, lenses and flashguns. It also deals in ‘Leica collectibles’.

Boss Anthony Jacobs says the business is seeking ‘mid-to-top-end’ Canon and Nikon gear, for cash or part-exchange and can be contacted by phone or online.

Until last summer, Anthony Jacobs ran Jacobs Digital, a family-run chain which shut down all 19 of its stores after falling into administration amid the harsh economic climate.
