About us
Campkins has been the high street favourite camera shop since 1952.
Campkins Cameras
Our journey began in 1952
Campkins Cameras is an independent, family-run retail business specialising in the sale of new and second hand cameras both modern and vintage, binoculars and telescopes. We’ve been a feature of the Cambridge High Street, serving the photographic and optical needs of the local community since 1952.
Business Owner
Owen Howell
Owen Howell, the current owner was born into the business, learning all about the new and used camera trade from his father Barry and grandfather Tom, before eventually taking over the reigns himself. Now, with a team of highly qualified employees that are also practicing photographers, Campkins staff has over 50 years combined photography experience.
Campkins Camera
We’re just getting started
Our proud heritage extends beyond expertise in photography and optics to a desire to always provide exceptional customer service, sound advice and the best value we can. At a time when surviving as an independent retailer is more challenging than ever, we understand that customers value our unique services and friendly, face-to-face interaction which can’t be found online, at a general electronics outlet or a department store.
Always on hand to help.

5/5
Very friendly and thoroughly knowledgeable about cameras. I recently visited Campkins Cameras on King's Parade with an old Olympus OM1 to ask how to use it. The man there went through every single bit, putting film in, explaining the best way to take a photograph and its history as a camera so thank you. Highly recommend!
