TGIF - A Sweet Note to End The Week

[Bangles]

Given the presence of so many collectors and enthusiasts in this forum, i'd like to share this site I found on the web. A list of all the used camera equipment stores in tokyo! Note that this list is not maintained currently tho...

Sounds like a good idea for a treasure hunting expedition dont you think?
No guarantee against financial damage afterwards though.

Enjoy!

hee hee... yup... plenty of lenses & some pretty good condition Fuji RF gears.

But do remember to bring cash... they charge additional for visa/master/amex.

The other good place that can get really really good stuff is Fujiya Camera (my favourite!). Next is Map Camera. Map Camera gives 5% VAT rebates for tourists. Hence, it might be pretty worthwhile to get some new stuff or Leica there.

hahaha... OK, if u are there, look for Hiroaki Kitahara, he's the sales leader there and probably the only one who speaks English.

Hey! Since you are in Shanghai, can you send some Lucky SHD 120 over? I PayPal you.

Is Kitahara-san the old man that's always on the ground floor? So far I have not seen too many sales people there that speaks english. Then again I'm always either at the junko corner or the Nikon/RF floor! Somehow I get by with my broken Japglish.

Eh, want me to mail you the Lucky ah? SHD100 you mean. If I mail it won't it go thru strong x-rays? The price I usually buy is about 7.50RMB each. Shanghainese photographers tell me that Era is better since it has an anti-halation layer. But recently Era prices have increased.
