I bought a Nikon D3300 camera from 42nd Street Photo, and must say it's been a trouble free camera to use. Was not sure what SD card to purchase and salesperson directed me to the right one to use. I will use this company again in the future for my photo needs.

42nd Street photo had the camera that I wanted and a great price.
There was no pressure to purchase additional options though they asked if I had everything I needed to start using the camera. Shipping was fast and very well packed sso as not to damage it during shipping. Overall fantastic impression and would recommend them and will be back in the future to purcahse additional equipment.

I am a professional sports photographer for universities, high schools, national sports academy websites and a life-long Pentax user. All Pentaxes have been purchased from 42photo, you can't go wrong with 42photo. They recognized our tax exemption status unlike other companies in New York.

The newly-purchased K-3 Mark III excels in low-light performance, sharpness/detail resolving/visual clarity, and wider FOV versus crop-factor. Exceeds Expectations for Sports Photography! I highly recommend Pentax and I am thrilled with the K-3 Mark III!

I have spent a lot of money over 10 years with 42photo and never have they dropped the ball once. I love it. It ships fast and comes with so many accessories. You can't beat this deal, especially when shipping it to PA is tax free!

This is a good place
October 23, 2020

This is a good place to get all the best deals when to come to photographs and their hardware. I have had a good time with them so far and have not complaints. Their prices and delivery time are all good and so are the products. I will be buying more.

Inviting
January 27, 2016

Gil was the first person I met. He met me with a smile and directed me right to the product I had inquired about. Then he made it possible for me to purchase it without any difficulty. He was a very friendly person

I bought a high end camera lens from 42nd St. Photo earlier this year. The price was lower than the other sites. The lens was shipped quickly and well packaged. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again.

The price was great, the shipping was fast. I messed up my billing and the customer service rep took care of it all at once. All in all, I am very pleased with the price, service and of course, my camera.

I did get what I needed
October 23, 2020

I was kind of disappointed when my delivery was delayed for two days. The good thing is that I was made aware when the developments occurred, I Was therefore not that disappointed. I did get what I needed and it is just what I expected with no flaws.

I used to get tired of hauling around my DSLR with multiple lenses. I now use my Sony RX100 IV exclusively. It's a pocketable size, and the quality of my images are impeccable. The lens is fast and sharp. I've never had any problems with 42nd Street Photo.

When looking for an online photo equipment source I chose 42photo because of the info on the camera I wanted and the price. I got a call after placing the order warning me that my choice was a "gray market" camera without warranty. I changed to a unit with warranty and the service 42photo provided was great. I will use 42photo in the future.

Ordered the Nikon PROSTAFF P7 8x42 last weekend and delivered on wednesday 5/1/24—have used them for tracking moving birds, wildlife and aircraft as the daylight is fading. I couldn't get it shipped to Salt Lake from Nikon's website and this was very convenient. The only shortcoming is a higher price (including shipping charges). Otherwise, would recommend for optics and hobby gear.

I am an experienced photographer who needed an additional camera. I decided to buy the Canon 90d because of the price and it was lighter than my other DSLRs. 42nd street photo had a great set of refurbished cameras and this was one of them. I am very happy with the quality, even though it was refurbished it came with everything I needed. I am very satisfied with the service and how quickly my camera came after I ordered it.

A RARE GEM FIND
January 11, 2021

The place to go for your photography needs - especially if your focus is analog photography. The staff at 42ND PHOTO is very knowledgeable, friendly & accessible. Their prices are great & their inventory is well stocked. I got all my darkroom chemistry there last summer. I ordered Chromogenic C-41film from them in 1 JAN 2021 & they had it shipped to me right away so I was able to keep working during the Festive Season. When I lived in New York I shopped there all the time & when I visit, I make sure to stop in for some film & anything else I maybe looking for.

Very Quick & Pleasant Service
November 22, 2022

The Sigma 50mm F1.4 Art DG HSM lens was dispatched amazingly quickly on the order day (Thursday) and could have been delivered by the next Tuesday had I not changed delivery to Friday, and it was delivered on time. Since this lens was sent from New York to Oregon, the shipping time was excellent. The lens was well-packed and in new condition. It's working perfectly. Thank you!

Used Camera Equipment
August 17, 2022

Excellent service, purchased a secondhand 12-100 Olympus lens from 42nd Street Photo, arrived well packaged and exactly as described, this is the third lens that I've bought from them and it's the only I would buy second hand gear from un-inspected, I know if an item is not exactly as I want I can return it and their service is always very prompt and polite.
Can't recommend too highly.

I was surpirsed when I received a call from them just a while after I had made my order. This showed me just how serious they were with their work and all. I ordered a new camera and i like the others what I got was a new camera. Which makes me wonder just what did those guys mean by they got used cameras.

Great Transaction!
April 25, 2016

I bought a camera from 42photo.com and could not have had a more pleasant transaction. I know that many people are afraid to buy over the internet but I can say that the camera came with everything as promised and the value was unbeatable! Don't be afraid to buy from this site.

Customer for 40 years
March 15, 2018

I first got into photography when I was a teenager (in the 70's) and even though I lived on the west coast, I started buying camera and darkroom equipment from 42nd St. Photo because they had the lowest prices, a huge selection and they have great customer service. I've continued to buy from them over the years and recently when it came time to get my latest DSLR, I went with them again - they're still the best!
