I've been a couple of times and found there to be plenty of overpriced film cameras and lenses. There are one or two sellers with some more recent kit but I've found them to be overpriced and far less helpful than the trusted online sellers like MPB & Ffords. Some of them are just plain obnoxious. It might be worth a trip if you are a collector of esoterica looking for the final piece for your collection but otherwise I wouldn't bother.

Is there much digital stuff there at all?

Not much. 90% or more film cameras, manual lenses, old flashes, boxes of bits and bobs to root through. There'll be the odd digital body and some lenses but the prices and quality are better here.

Yep you were pretty much spot on mate, 95% film and relics!! Got myself a nice new 42" reflector for £5 and a couple of black brollies for £3 though so worth the trip!
 
I've thought about going a few times but I'm glad I didn't bother now, thanks for the tip.
 
I went to the Lincoln Imaging Show a few weeks ago and was quite disappointed. The prices didn't seem to be as good as those on here for second hand, the quality didn't seem as good second hand and the new stuff seemed to be more expensive than various web sites often used by members.
