The staff were very helpful as I am inexperienced with video. I explained what I was trying to do and they explained what I needed and shipped right away.

I ordered a Nikon camera and got what I ordered. It was shipped in a timely manner and packaged well. I have ordered from them in the past and will do so again.

18-300mm Sigma Lens
August 12, 2018

This lens seems to be sharper then the same Nikon Lens. Negative: the lens focuses in reverse of the Nikon lenses and takes a little time to get used to.

I call them to ask about my Nikon camera lenses, where I had purchase the camera they send me the wrong lenses.

BEST-IN-CLASS SELECTION
January 23, 2021

Super helpful and informative staff, friendly atmosphere felt as all staff were photographers. The shop is very nicely laid out. Brands have their designated areas, so it's easy to navigate if you are looking for a specific product. Personally, I needed Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 II MC lens, a salesman was close by and could instantly tell I was in need of more information after paying attention to a particular product for a while. He was very approachable and seemed genuinely interested in my needs. This gentleman let me try out a host of rangefinder lenses from such as Meyer-Optik Gorlitz, Voigtlander, TTArtisan and Mitakon Zhongyi. Literally the best camera shop I found in Manhattan.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II
January 13, 2023

Just taken a receipt of a Canon EOS R6 Mark II with the Canon RF 24-70mm L IS USM lens to upgrade from a Rebel T8i. The purchase, financing and delivery from 42PHOTO was seamlessly straightforward. There was a frustrating wait for the equipment to arrive and unfortunately 42PHOTO did not get much information from Canon on shipments. The customer service staff always responded to questions and as completely as possible. Excellent service, couldn't ask for more.

I ordered the Nikon D500 camera. It was a great price and the service was wonderful and the people really seem to care. I received it earlier than expected.

Best customer service ever. I had a virtual visit to see the tripod and it was fantastic experience, I got to see my model camera and lens on the tripod. It actually was the Nikon Z7 with the lens on the Gitzo GT2542 Mountaineer Series 2 Carbon Fiber Tripod with GHF3W 3-Way Fluid Head Kit. I was impressed with the size of the Fluid Head kit and was also shown how it work. Excellent service once again and a awesome deal.
