I bought the Trijicon 3-9x40 Riflescope to be used on a field hunting firearm. I have no perfect gunsmith skills but Jonathan at 42photo made the installation a piece of cake. Let me say, the sharpness on this scope is superb. I've tried various Vortex, Steiner, Canon, and Leica scopes but this beats them all. The Zeiss HD5 glass clarity pales in comparison to the Trijicon and it feels more ergonomic-friendly, stabilized. The illuminated reticle is helpful when zeroing in a target in the dark such as a combatant or animal. 42nd Photo has the best prices hands down. I combed the Internet and went to two optics shops in Dakota and could not find a better price. Get this scope and you will not be disappointed.

I'm a longtime Panasonic m434 user, I have been an avid photographer hobbyist since I was 12yr old in 1976. This Lumix S5 is the best professional video camera in under $2k for a small video production company or commercial work. It's even better value when you include the 20-60mm lens. Can't beat the price! The employee who helped me was very decorous, accurate information and communicative with client. 42nd Photo is a very reputable trading company as well as the DHL courier is quite impressive.

I bought a 90D as a gift for my girlfriend who was using the Rebel T6 and in dire urgency of an upgrade. She was blown away. Although I'm not the ultimate possessor, talk about bang for your buck! Highest megapixel sensor, tracking, 4K, etc... gorgeous. With little tweaks to the focus system, shots are CRISP!. The settings and controls are super easy to use, haven't been able to use the video aspect of the camera yet but it has great specs so Im sure itll be great. It's a great range which removes the need to switch to anything else, unless you need to put a prime on for a extreme need. It's compatible with a ton of Canon lenses.

False advertisement
February 23, 2022

These guys are scammers.

Will tell you a price on their website. Then after purchase tell you that you bought a Eauropean model. Then tell you the domestic version is significantly higher than the actual regular price of the item. Then when you call their bluff they will hanv up the phone on you and block/forward your number.

Jack is an all time unprofessional. JACKa** is what he really is

Jonathan sold a HC-V770 Camcorder to my wife. Great little camera that packs the punch in a minimal footprint. The features are top-quality, well-built, and intuitive operability. My wife uses it for church recording, decent and lightweight, fits snugly into a small bag with it's essentials. On business days, I've used it for streaming through HDMI to improve webcam, recording company meeting, and much more. Very versatile and expensive prosumer camcorders. Thanks *******@42nd photo.

Minolta CLE collector's item camera

42nd PHOTO purchased my much-loved Minolta CLE film camera at a price I was happy with (shame about the lenses - both returned to me as showing fungal growth). The whole process was efficiently and well done, and courier service excellent. Thank you.

My order of Camera
October 10, 2018

I just ordered a Sony DSC-RX100 20.2 Megapixel Digital Camera. After receiving a confirmation email, your agent called me telling me that in order to be sure to get it by mail, would I like my package to be signed whenever it delivered? It is nice and thoughtful idea to have a personal contact with the costumer. Thank you ver much.

Lowepro ProTactic BP 450 AW II Backpack - New Version Backpack was as described with lots of space and feels secure. Straps are wide and padded and feel comfortable to use. Good piece of kit despite being slightly on the heavy side. 42photo is my go-to website for photography, accesories equipment

The Sony ZV-E10 is an incredible vlogging camera at this price point. I loved its 4k video capability and eye tracking for clarity. Kit lens works better than I expected for videos. High quality videos and photos. Easy to use, has lots of controls and USB webcam. Great compact camera at unbeatable price. Was able to get it here at 42nd PHOTO despite being almost impossible to get. It shoots great vlog footage, talking head videos, and B-roll. Great all round camera and I highly recommend it.

Bait & Switch
December 20, 2022

Ordered a new Nikon D850 camera-only Sunday night. It was listed as an import version for $1,929.00. The next morning, a 42nd Street Photo rep calls to ask me why I bought an import version rather than a domestic version for $500.00 more. He further stated it was a "European" version and would not work in the USA. Then he asked me why I didn't want to pay extra for the domestic (USA) version. I mentioned to him he was attempting a bait-and-switch. He became angry and then I told him twice to cancel the order. He then hung up on me. Why would they purposely list a camera as an import version knowing it wouldn't work here in the USA? My Nikon D750 is an import version and works perfectly fine.

I knew the SLR that I wanted, but I needed to make sure the my lenses were compatible with that camera. That was the start of an excellent conversation that turned into a consultation with 42nd Street Photo where we identified the equipment that would result in the successful completion of my project. Over the past eighteen months I have completed numerous projects and I am very pleased with the advice I received from 42nd Street Photo. My experience was excellent with 42nd Street Camera.

They were amazing with helping me purchase the camera wanted, they answered my questions, walked me through the process, and I even talked to them on the phone to make sure everything was correct. The price was the best, and I LOVE my camera.

I can't say enough about the excellent customer service 42nd Street Photo offers. When I was evaluating the pros and cons of the Canon 11-24mm super wide angle zoom lens, my 42nd Street Photo salesperson provided me with a the information I needed to determine whether I should purchase a gray market version or the "legitimate" Canon lens (I chose the latter). The lens arrived in perfect condition.

I first purchased a 35mm camera from 42nd Street Photo at the store in 1981. I wanted to purchase a Canon 100-400mm telephoto lens and filters and 42nd Street Photo came up as I searched online. I called them, talked to Michael at extension 5018, confirmed that I wanted US version, and I purchased both items by phone. Lens and filters were shipped out the same day I ordered, delivered exactly as ordered, and I received on the date promised. Customer service was first class!

It's a very modern shop with loads of electronics on display. I rang the day before to check availability and the Nikon 105mm Macro lens I was interested in was bought from their warehouse at the ready when I popped in the next day. Very pleased with their service, I will certainly buy from 42PHOTO any future purchases.

I am new to sunrise & sunset landscape imaging. I rang them up to recommend the best camera & features. We had a lengthy but fruitful conversation that led to the purchase of a Nikon D850. Next day, I show up and there is a beautiful sunrise sunset. Jonathan showed me how to tinker the settings to ensnare spectacular photos. Today I take out my Nikon D 850 and mount it on a tripod. I have a winning combination of lenses too... 24-70mm 2.8 70-200mm 2.8 and a 105mm 1.4.Be aware that physical filters used on your camera will degrade image quality. I manual focus and as luck would have it I push down the shutter and get lucky image thanks to the D850. I thank Jonathan for recommending the camera as its good for astrophotography too. I will give my future business to 42ND Photo, Manhattan.

Hello: I had a very pleasant shopping experience at 42nd Street Photo. The sales person was very courteous to me when I purchased a Nikon Coolpix P900 camera about 10 months ago, and at the lowest price on the Internet. Also, he gave me a bargain when he sold a 5-year warrantee extension for the price of a 3 year plan. When I returned the camera for repairs, everything went smoothly.
