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.

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

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 Karen Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/ http://www.photoethnography.com/blog/ _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
