About SDS | The UK's Newest Camera Reseller
Founded in 2021 by Andrew Anderton, SDS was built on a simple belief: camera gear should never go to waste.
In an industry where technological upgrades happen rapidly, millions of cameras, lenses, and accessories end up sitting in drawers, or worse, as e-waste. We exist to keep exceptional equipment where it belongs: in the hands of creators.
