I find the staff extremely professional and knowledgeable although I am disappointed with one of my recent purchases and probably should have returned it.

Stay away from this vulture market no matter what the price they advertise. It's a well designed 'tourist trap' and an online wormhole for your cash to go in to trash.

I ordered a replacement battery for my camera. 42 Photo had the best price. Delivery was fast. The battery works great and is has more storage than the original.

Fantastic as always with the Leica's premium quality DNA! It's a fantastic all-purpose and is quickly winning over my heart as a go-to lens as was recommended by the store owner at 42PHOTOs. I also spoke to a customer representative through a LIVE CHAT, I got a shoulder strap and a lens bag, which is A++++++++
Highly recommended for Leica!

I've ordered various photography gear from New York, B&H and now this GFX 100S from 42nd PHOTO. I left a positive review and their excellent service has not wavered.

42photo.com's $100 and above Free Shipping to Canada, Henry's pales in comparison, and this is a huge difference.
42nd photo is always teeming with a full Fuji stock, treasure troves of information throughout the website, FAQs, and product reviews.

Nikon 55-300 lense
January 14, 2022

BEWARE - ordered online a Nikon 55-300 lense. Was given story that the one I ordered wasn't compatible with my d3200 and he had only one in stock that would work - $180 more than the other. Arrived in a non- Nikon box with no receipt and no product warranty or spec book. DO NOT USE

Bait and Switch. Beware!
April 27, 2022

Same as a previous reviewer. Ordered a camera online. Next morning, I got an e-mail asking to call. When I did, they told me that the camera I ordered was a European model, and wouldn't work here in the US. It would cost me another $250 to get the US model. I told them to cancel the order for now. They said that they would, but they would charge me $50 to cancel—because that's what they get charged by the credit card company. I immediately sensed they were pulling a fast one, so hung up, and immediately called my bank.

While on the phone to my bank, it transpired that they hadn't even made the charge yet. I think I got lucky, and was faster than them. I have had to put a hold on all online charges on my bank card for now, and hope this will stop them. I will have to wait and see, and dispute the charge if they eventually make one.

I could tell from Jack's attitude that this was a rough-and-ready outfit with which I wouldn't want to do business. I just went back to their web site, and it states nowhere that the camera I ordered was a "European only" model.

I feel like I dodged a bullet. Let's hope this is the last I ever hear for 42nd Street Photo!
