Honestly I was afraid to take the leap and jump to a full frame camera and now I wish Id done it sooner. I love using my Nikon D750 with the 50mm 1.4f lens. The video quality is amazing and I was very impressed with the personalized customer service I received from the sale associates. I will definitely continue to shop here.

I'm a nature photographer and filmmaker, I ordered a Leica SL2-S as a travel companion. Store is loaded to the roof with all manner of Leica, SL, TL, CL, Q and M lineups in clear presentation. Staff breath and exhale Leica, it's a high-end atmosphere with eye-popping prices, but for a pro, it's worth the price. I bought this SL2-S to steer clear of technicalities and focus on wildlife. It's rugged and built like a tank to brave harsh elements with it's all-metal body. 4K Video and superior low light performance up to ISO 100.000 the Leica SL2-S delivers outstanding results even in the most demanding situations. Store is a literal Mecca for Leica photographers and videographers!

Visited 42nd PHOTO, NY today to pick up a new Leica 2.5-15x50 Amplus 6i Riflescope and couldn't be happier. Great selection on Leica riflescopes, red dot sights and general accessories. The guys working were super friendly and provided great customer service. Binoculars are available here as well. A great local business providing service to the people of Manhattan and all of New York state. Give these a guys a look for your next optics related purchase, you won't be disappointed.

Jonathan helped is select a Sony 70-200mm lens and helped is through the purchase process with technical details and information regarding cash-back and tax-free NY Purchase. We were contemplating purchase of the Sony A7C and Jonathan kept in touch with me until I was ready to purchase. When I collected the camera Jonathan was enthusiastic about my intentions with the camera and discussed full-frame cameras with me. I have been extremely happy with my interactions with Jonathan and now follow his projects on YouTube channel. The Alpha a7c is an amazing camera.

I recently purchased a Canon EOS 1DX with 2 lens, whole kit and caboodle from 42nd PHOTO via the website and I am amazed by the fantastic polite and professional service that I received from start to finish. I am delighted with my purchase which was at an excellent price. Very highly recommended and I now intend to visit hopefully by next summer.

I heard about 42nd street photo from a colleague and the moment I stepped into the store I think I fell in love with It. I was looking for a Mirrorless Camera and the guy who helped me was really knowledgeable and super helpful. He was more than willing to answer my questions and suggested a Sony a7S III camera; I was really reluctant to buy this camera. But when it came to specs and the price, this was clearly a better deal at a steal of a price and I will be back to buy more accessories for my camera.

I place an order for a Canon Powershot G3 X 20.2 Megapixel Digital Camera with a Canon S Starter Accessory Package Kit-A. Much to my surprise, I received a call from 42nd Street Photo. The knowledgeable and courteous customer service person informed me that the memory card that was included in the Starter Kit wasn't my best option to achieve the picture quality that the camera I ordered was capable of taking. I am so glad that they took the time to call me and let me know. I was able to change my order over the phone. Quick and easy. I am very happy with my purchase and the customer service that 42nd Street Photo extended to me as a customer. I'm very happy with my purchase and would purchase from them again.

Top notch service.

After searching the Net for deals, I found that 42nd Street had the best price (by over $100) on a lens I was after. I ordered the Canon EF 24-105mm f4L IS II USM lens. It arrived promptly, packed well, and included a free UV filter. I also had a very nice follow up call from them asking if I was a satisfied customer. I am.

We went to 42photo and bought PTZOptics 30x, we are using it in a worship livestream setting. Our pastor who is old says it's easy to set up and configure. The 30X zoom is perfect for the distance and works impressively in low light. The salesman recommended these for our contemporary service. We couldn't be happier about the performance of this PTZ camera. 42photo is a local store and a win-win for our church. Spent $2000 and this was a game-changing tool, and I'm completely satisfied with our choice.

I bought a Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di VC PZD Lens for Canon - 67mm at 42nd St Photo last month with the prices $529.00 US.
I did not know it made in China until I receive it. I wish I could return it and pay a little bit more but made in Japan at Amazon.

The new Sony AX-700 4K camcorder is a giant leap from the classical SONY AX-33 ecosystem. I've filmed a couple of YouTube videos. About 20 years ago I bought a Sony TRV-950 MiniDV camcorder here. The new camcorder shoots high-quality video and the 42nd PHOTO representative listened and suggested a mic for my price range. They never let me down. Bones: it's very appropriate to have a strong alternative to the behemoth online retailer.

I've had this Burris Optics 2-7x32 for about two weeks now and what a delight. Purchased this scope recently, mounted it on top my Marlin 1895GBL 40x50. Scope was a great addition to my scout rifle. Easy to focus and sight in at the range. The sight picture at all resolutions was crisp and bright. There was no distortion around the edges and the retical was distinct from the subject. Magnification adjustment was slick and simple to operate with a thumb. All in all a great addition to my Scout rifle. I would purchase another riflescope here in the future.

Great service, advice, prices and ease of understanding their website and ordering details. Also, quick and hassle-free returns. In the last month I have purchased the Nikon Z6 2, several Chiaro filters, the z24-120mm S lens, the 24-200mm f4-63 lens and this 14-30mm S lens. Several items are new and several are used with a 9+ rating. I also traded in 6 different cameras and lenses. In each transaction the 42nd Street PHOTO's service was outstanding. I always buy from them and have never been disappointed. Finally, the Nikon Z series lenses and Z 6 2 camera are much better, in every way, then my previous Nikon equipment. Thanks Nikon and 42nd Street PHOTO.
