Mike, Fred
and Bill are the current staff line-up who have over 125 years of photographical experience between them.

Giles have been supplying the photo needs to the amateur and professional for almost thirty years, along with microscopes, telescopes, and binoculars.

In recent times they have been granted the prestigious LEICA Agency for selling their range of binoculars and Spotting scopes.

Since the early days a reputation for pre-owned photo equipment has built up. This has become enlarged with new SLR and compact cameras with lenses, astro and terrestrial telescopes, plus binoculars.

Giles is one of the few shops providing a good selection of darkroom stock from enlargers to print tools, paper and chemicals.

The recent program on BBC2 ‘Birding with Bill Oddie’ shows Bill using top of the range LEICA equipment, an 8x42 bino’s @ £808

And a Televid angled spotting scope @ £1181

Leica binoculars

We can also supply binoculars and telescopes by Bresser, Dector, Jenoptik, Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, Opticron, Ross, Swift, Pentax, Praktica, Samsung, Summit, Viking, Vanguard etc.

The photo alongside shows our best selling microscope from Optical Vision Ltd, The Biozam S-20 at £165. Prices start from as little as £69.

Abbe condensers, microtones, mechanical stages, lenses, and stain slides are supplied by OVZ and NBS.

Optical Vision Microscope

For customers with their sights set on more heavenly subjects the TAZ-1, four and a half inch Reflector Astro telescope is possibly the best bet, down in price to £249.99.
