I will answer my own question:  it is.  I was there in 2002.  Nice  
place, lots of stuff, good staff. Tiny store, very crowded.   I was  
shopping for a m 28/f2 and their prices were higher than in the  
states.  (got one from Don Chaterton, highly recommended).  They  
cautioned me about buying older, used lenses  in asia if i lived in  
the states, saying that sometimes fungus could be a problem worsened  
by the change of climates.  Don't know if that is so...
