I was looking for this Nikon lens and ran across the add for it at a fabulous price from 42nd St. Photo. I was skeptical thinking it was a Chinese knockoff. But it was exactly as advertised and delivered quickly. Ordering was easy and customer service was very helpful.

Thank you 42nd St. Photo

I was looking for a specific camera and found it for a good price at 42nd Street Photo. When I called to ask a question (after placing the order), they first told me I had to buy a special memory card (a lie). Then they told me the camera did not have a US warranty (possibly true, but not mentioned anywhere on the site). But they just happened to have two cameras left, with US warranty, for only $100 more. I wised up and canceled the order.

I researched extensively about higher end digital cameras and decided on the Canon Powershot G15. I compared prices on Pricegrabber and 42nd St. Photo had the best price and free shipping. I had one conversation with an employee at 42nd St. Photo and was impressed with his professionalism and courtesy and my camera arrived within a few days as promised.

FUJIFILM VG-XT4 Vertical Battery Grip
May 21, 2022

Grateful to 42nd St PHOTO for the help on this purchase. The X-T4 grip is fantastic. I found this grip online from 42nd St PHOTO for a good price and ordered it. Ergonomically, this grip feels great in the hand, and makes the camera larger than previous X-T models, but smaller than the X-H1, so just about the perfect size. Buttons and dials are smooth and tactile, but feel premium like the X-H1's. 42nd St PHOTO service and quick shipping was great. Will be using 42nd St PHOTO for all of our needs.

Purchased a camera for my grand daughter from 42photo. I wasn't real sure what I needed. Called 42photo and they were more than willing and able to give me the info I needed to make a decision.

Great experience. Will definitely buy from them again.

Purchased a Canon R5 C VR and RF 5.2mm f/2.8 fisheye lens from 42photo and it arrived on time and in mint condition. I debated fiercely about grabbing this package. I am so grateful for the four phone calls I had with 42Photo. Each person I spoke with was so knowledgeable, so passionate, and so PATIENT as we talked about the pros and cons of every camera, including making a jump to the Canon EOS family. Thank you 42photo.

Everything I wanted!
April 23, 2024

I ordered the moment the preorder button turned green the day it was announced. The camera was shipped on launch day and I received an alert email. 42nd Street Photo is always flawless in shipping, backorder tracking and final delivery. X100VI 40mp images are crispier than my Canon M50.42nd Customer support is the best.

My experience was very good. They had the best price for my Canon 80D and shipped it fast. I do wish they would have noted that the power zoom adapter would not work with the zoom lens provided in the package. I would have bought the zoom lens desperately had I known. Otherwise, everything went well.

Canon 5D Mark IV Kit
February 9, 2022

This is my 5D Mark IV is excellent as expected. The software kit probably won't get much use. But the addition of the extra batteries and SD card make the package very attractive and I'm glad I bought this. 42nd Photo's Loyalty discount was a nice bonus. This camera and the bundle that came along with it came at the lowest cost through 42nd PHOTO. Plus the 42nd Photo bundle had more to it. This is the reason why 42nd PHOTO is our primary go to, for our photo video needs.

Great Service
September 15, 2016

I looked everywhere for this EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II and found the best price here at 42! The service, follow up, and quick shipping were all that I would expect for purchasing a lens of this caliber. The great pricing persuaded me to get the warranty, which I have thought through again and again as the right thing to do because I take this lens everywhere. It is an amazing lens; weight, image quality, and fast action stabilizer (jetski bird watching).

Very happy so far...
February 22, 2017

TheyequipmentI ordered a Canon EOS Rebel Digital T5i 18.0 Megapixel Digital Camera Body online, and the process was almost too simple. Used Paypal to complete the transaction.

The people I talked to in an inquiry phone call were very helpful and knowledgeable, and made my decision to use 42nd Street Photo easy. They had the best price I found on this particular item.

The shipping estimate said 3 - 6 days, and this is the 6th day, and haven't received the equipment yet, BUT they called me to verify some info a few days ago, and I didn't return the call until today. They said they would expedite the shipping for me!

Great business, and I would not hesitate to purchase from them again.

Steve

I've owned Manfrotto products for years and have been very satisfied with them. I ordered a Manfrotto Aluminum 058b tripod and was extremely surprised and pleased with the quick response and fast delivery of the products. Also, very happy with the free shipping! The tripods were exactly what I needed. I would recommend 42photo to anyone shopping for photo/video/audio products!

I picked up the Lensbaby Focus II 50 Optics for my Nikon D850. I am very happy with the purchase, have already recommended it to several people. The 42PHOTO delivered all the items before the due date, even though one accessory was defective, they provided a new one within days. I certainly recommend!

42nd Street Photo, came through so far with what they promised, I received the memory, and I believe they will make good on their promise to refund the cost of the camera. I was premature in canceling my order, they have showen they are who they say they are a store who is concerned for their customers. I went to them because they had the best prices by far and I still believe they do.

I was contacted by Chad from 42nd Street Photo, he was very cordial and concerned as to my comments. After I explained to him my apprehensions in my order and the reason I returned my order, he assured me that my issues would be addressed and taken care of in the form of a full refund and to show the stores commitment, he will send free memory.
I am very pleased with the outcome and will not hesitate in purchasing from 42nd Street Photo in the future

Excellent Service!
January 5, 2016

I thought I got a deal when I bought a Nikon D5200 on eBay. The camera is fine, but the owner's manual - in Japanese - didn't help much. Fortunately, 42Photo.com had the English manual at a very reasonable price and got it to me amazingly fast. I'd recommend 42Photo.com to anyone looking for great prices and superior services... even if Japanese is your first language!

This is my first Sony a7 iii I purchased new from 42ndphoto. I'm a videographer and I absolutely love this camera. 42ndphoto makes it a substantial deal by including a kit with many handy items with the camera. I am a week into the possession of this beast of a camera. Picture quality from this camera is sublime, even with straight jpegs right out of the camera. This purchase was my first experience with 42nd Photo Video and they have been superb. I look forward to many years of great service from this camera and an incessant relationship with 42ndphoto.

At half the price of the G-Master series lenses, this lens is a great value-sharp as a prime lens. Bought it secondhand from 42PHOTO. Described as excellent and boxed,it arrived a couple of days later, well packed and as illustrated. I'm a big fan and will buy lenses from 42PHOTO in the future!
