Great Photo Shop!
June 2, 2016

You know 42nd Street Photo must be a great store to get my attention all the way out here in Utah. Their price on the Leica Camera I was looking for was priced very fair, they shipped the camera immediately after I ordered it, and the owner even followed up with me by phone to make sure I was happy. A year later I even received a follow up call to make sure I was still happy. I recommend this store, and will go back for my future camera needs. Thank you 42nd Street Photo!

I was looking for a Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 lens and it was easy to find on their website. Ordering was easy, and the lens was shipped in a few days. Tracking information was received and I was able to follow the shipment. Product was as described, new in the box, and the price was the lowest I could find. The Canon RF 24-105mm F/4 lens exceeds expectations with its exceptional image quality and versatile focal range. The build quality is robust, and the auto focus is fast and accurate. Will have no reservations about ordering from 42nd street photo again

I ordered a H6D-100c off 42nd Street Photo and am very happy with their service. James checked in with me over the telephone shortly after placing the order to ensure the order was flawless and I got everything I wanted. I followed up with him after doing a bit of research and added some accessories. He was really helpful describing the different Hasselblad series and the benefits or drawbacks of certain ones. They shipped the order the same day and I got it next business day. I'd recommend 42nd Photo and will use them again for future purchases. Cheers

Very fast shipping and easy ordering!
June 14, 2022

Got this lens from 42nd street photo and I'm very happy with it. I'm using it with my Nikon D3300 in low light condition, the pictures came out excellent. I also shot it with some portrait pics and the result is amazing too. I really love it. I was super impressed, especially with it being a Sigma lens. I've always bought canon but with the canon being out of stock I had to run with the sigma. Thanks 42nd street photo for the recommendation and help with accessories.

Recently bought a Nikon D500 for my architectural and real estate photography business for less than the retailers' prevailing price in the market! (Kept a hawkish a eye for Black Friday). I read a lot of reviews of this company beforehand and having a 42nd Photo office in touch gave me a peace of mind in case of aftercare issues. Great communication and FedEx tracking. Camera completely genuine USA stock and perfectly packaged arrived in 3 days as projected. Would strongly recommend 42nd PHOTO as leading Nikon stockists.

I have ordered from Ralph on Internet Sales at this store and he has always guided me in
The best direction. His knowledge of cameras as well as lenses is always commendable.
Best of all, he does not try to sell anything that is not necessary! I really do like this
About him and the store! I would not hesitate to ever recommend this store as anything but first rate and above many others.

Very easy to order via the site link. I had a response with a purchase link
Within minutes. Camera arrived next business day and the price was
Competitive too. I thoroughly recommend 42Photo.com 10/10.

Best camera/kit ever!
December 13, 2022

I shoot in very dusty environments and try not to have to swap lenses mid-shooting. Jonathan was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful helping me pick a new camera and lens. I love the Sony a7iii with a new EF 70-200mm f2.8. The camera is simply superlative. I love every single aspect of it. Good for video and photo, it's the best price/quality in the market right now. The kit was amazing because I got an amazing bag and memory card for free. Great choice, good products.

Above and beyond
August 2, 2016

I have shopped online at 42ND St Photo on several occasions and my experience has always been awesome. If I have had a question the online staff are knowledgeable and friendly and have always steered me in the right direction.

Delivery time has always exceeded expectations and when they have had questions (like do you want a signature on delivery) they have rung me promptly to ask.

You will not be disappointed if you shop at 42ND St Photo.

I purchased a Canon SX60 for a Safari in September of 2017. I had done quite a bit of research and comparing and settled on the SX60. Next step; where to buy. 42nd Street Photo was by far the best price of any professional, reputable retailer. They answered my questions when I called them. I subsequently purchased on line. I have purchased other items from 42nd Street Photo and have always been pleased. My new Canon SX60 arrived just a couple days later, packaged very well and I have been enjoying it ever since.

Scam artists
August 6, 2014

Scam artists. Bought the Fujifilm EX-2 there. They advertise the price to be 1029 USD on their website. However once you go there and want to make the purchase they are demanding that you purchase a three year warranty costing 171 USD. Making the camera considerably more expensive than at first. So I can only repeet myself be on the lookout for this.

Just what I needed
July 30, 2015

I recently bought a used camera and I needed an owner's manual for it. I purchased one from 42nd street photo and was pleasantly surprised how fast it arrived. This is a quality manual not some cheap reprint. It will certainly make using my "new" camera a snap.

I've made a couple of orders with this company and found them to be honest and reliable. First order I had a problem with the product as delivered, but they stood behind it and promptly made it good. Second order everything was spot on with good follow up.

I needed a Canon r6 quickly which my local dealer didn't have in stock in Arizona. Having seen one on the 42Photo's website, I contacted the store by email. They got back to me very quickly, helped me sort out how to shoot Motorsport and the lens, everything arrived in 24hrs, very well packaged, in mint condition and flawlessly working!

At first I had my doubts seeing as I never used 42 Photo before. The price for product and shipping seemed too good to be true. However when I received my camera (Nikon D3200) I was beyond my expectations. I received all that was promised me and within a reasonable ship out date. My experience with 42 Photo was 100% satisfying and I'll definitely be there again for future photography purchases. (:

The staff here are very professional! We were supposed to buy an American model, but the staff told us we should buy an international model for using in China! The price is 400 usd off and with a free three year warranty.

I bout a Canon 6D from them initially because they had the best price. An issue came up (not related to them) because of a misunderstanding on my part about the product. They explained it to me, made the adjustment and then expedited my delivery at no extra expense. I don't think this happens all the time, but i am sure happy they made an exception for me in my desperate times of need.

This past year I wanted to start exploring the world of photography, but all of my previous gear was outdated. I found 42Street Photo, and I will never purchase camera gear from another site. The amount of customer service is absolutely amazing. Numerous times the person who helped me recommended certain products, and those products could not have worked any better. They also call and check-in to see how all of the equipment is working. 42Street Photo is the best place to purchase your camera gear.

Customer service
March 31, 2017

In years past I used B&H for optical products. Since then I have established a relationship with the quality folks at 42nd Street. The salesmen are knowledgeable, direct and very professional. 42nd Street has good prices and is very expeditious in getting the order processed and in my hands. This is all I can ask for.
