About Us 

Speed Graphic has been trading as a mail order business since 1994. Unlike most online photo retailers, who concentrate on selling cameras and frequently offer a rather haphazard selection of accessories, we work the other way around. We also have a real warehouse with plenty of immediately available stock, and well-informed staff to help you make your purchase by website, phone or over-the-counter.

As a serious enthusiast or professional photographer, we assume that you already have a camera and therefore will be (hopefully) excited by the mouthwatering array of other products we offer to further expand and improve your photography. We also produce a comprehensive catalogue which we send free of charge to anyone living within the UK. If you live elsewhere in the world, you can download a pdf version (we'll include a real one on request with any order you place).

Our retail policy is simple: source the best quality and best value products, sell them at competitive prices, and deliver them to our customers promptly. If a product we feature proves to be unreliable or unacceptable in some way, we will withdraw it from sale. We, like you, want everything we send to be perfect ‘out of the box’.

If things go wrong, as sometimes they will, we will sort your problem out as quickly as possible, with the same courtesy and attention as we would give you on enquiry or purchase.

Our offices are four miles west of Alton, just off the A31 Guildford-Winchester road, and right by the Watercress Line preserved steam railway. So if you know what a 4-6-0 or 4-4-0 is, you will be able see one most days from our front door. Callers are welcome, but please note that it’s not possible to demonstrate some items.

You can also meet us at The Photography Show at the Birmingham NEC each year. We are always pleased to talk to our customers, either face-to-face, over the phone, by email or via Twitter.
