Camera Kitamura — Local services in Tokyo

I met the new love of my life (a beautiful camera bag) at Kitamura. Five stars.

Okay, okay, a real review: This is a used camera & gear store smack dab in the middle of Akihabara. While their supply of Canon, Sony and Olympus was very good, they had very little Fujifilm gear. The staff was attentive and helpful, and will try to answer your camera questions, even though they speak very little English.

Do note that they split their used gear into "used" and "junk" sections.... if you need parts to fix another identical lens, this could be a good way to get that done. Oh, yeah, they do camera repairs as well.

Foreign travelers can do the tax-free paperwork here, too. You'll save 10% if...

It is a good place to by quality used camera, lenses and other accessories. Close to Akihabara station and therefore very convenient. They can speak little English so you can communicate well if you speak simply and slowly. If you have the passport you can buy duty-free price. Comparatively prices are cheap. Just confusing to find the entrance. But there is a name board outside the building. Just enter the building and take the lift. I will definitely go again in my next...

It is a very quaint shop with an assortment of used lens. There was cannon, fujifilm, pentax, and Olympus. There is a floor for financing and another where you can view the wares. The staff are nice to foreigners and were able to help me find what I needed. I was only looking for a tripod and they have some quality second hand tripods at a nice discount. All the products seem to be in pristine condition even though they are used. Shows their care...
