Bill

Thank you.

Is Canon LTM less expensive in Japan?

I am also interested in Nikon RF items, and reportedly there is a ton of
it in Japan, at prices that would knock my socks off.  



Regards,

Vick Ko

You're right, but I'm particularly fond of Canon LTM stuff--there's a
ton of it lying around the Japanese camera shops.

And wouldn't it be much less expensive outside of Japan?

No, none of the stores that I know will sell overseas. Even the ones 
that used to have stopped doing this. I think there are several 
reasons:

1) Insecurity in speaking/writing english
2) Concerns over shipping/customs duties
3) Credit card fraud
4) The domestic market demand is strong enough not to worry
5) Handling returns / complaints
