About The Lens Room

Who we are

The Lens Room is an independent online shop at thelensroom.com for cameras, audio equipment, musical instruments, vinyl records, and film and music memorabilia: gear built to last and worth using, not just displaying. The shop is operated by Varando LTD.

What we sell

  • Cameras & Optical Equipment: film and digital cameras, lenses and accessories from Nikon, Pentax, Edixa and other makers.
  • Audio Equipment: amplifiers, speakers, turntables and reel-to-reel decks from brands such as Sony, Bang & Olufsen, Akai, Wharfedale and Loewe.
  • Musical Instruments: electric and acoustic guitars, effects pedals, saxophones and other instruments.
  • Vinyl Records: LPs, box sets and pressings across rock, pop and classical.
  • Movies & TV: signed photographs, framed displays and collectables from film and television.
  • Music Memorabilia: signed photos, concert posters and figures connected to musicians.

Every item is an individual, one-off piece. Stock changes often as things sell.

Where our pieces come from

Our equipment and collectables come from private collections and specialist sources across Europe and beyond. We would rather list fewer pieces accurately than many pieces vaguely, so each listing describes condition and specification as plainly as we can: the physical condition, whether the item has been tested and works, and details such as a camera's shutter count where it is known. Read the functional condition line carefully. "Not tested" and "only for parts" mean exactly what they say.
