A dream shop for any analog photographer. Has all sorts of equipment that you need for your analog photography. From high grade paper to development kits and chemicals. Has a great selection of films available too. The second hand cameras though are a bit on the expensive side but their quality is impeccable. Must-recommend-place.

42nd Photo provides the amateur astronomer with apochromatic refractors, high -quality binoculars and accessories. I ordered a Meade LX200 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain in the midst of the Corona crises. Alex was detailed in planetary viewing optics. My Meade boasts great wide-field high contrast images for the intermediate observer or astrophotographer. It is perfect for viewing or photographing the moon, planets and even deep-sky objects.

They sold me a nikon d810 and slapped on a 299.00 BS warrranty without telling me. The first clue was there was no receipt in the box. I think these people are con men. Then if you have any kind of problem with your GREY market camera you are screwed. Trust me you will be much better off looking somewhere elese. I think they wrote most of the good reviews!!

In April, 2018, I leased a camera and lens from 42nd St Photo. The camera was leased as a demo. When it arrived, I found that it had a few thousand shutter clicks, and it had someone's name set up in the camera, so that person's name was embedded into my photos. A demo should not have this. If it was there, why didn't someone check this, and clear it out? Also, the camera sensor came in dirty, and my professional camera cleaner, told me it looks like someone had cleaned it with improper materials, and left pieces, which causes me to have to clean it every few months, at the cost of $70 a sensor cleaning. I have been dealing with that. The icing is, they sold a warranty, to cover accidental damage to the lens, and also for the camera. I had a problem recently with the lens. I contacted CPS Central, the warranty company. They are not honoring the warranty without an invoice, even though I emailed a copy of my lease agreement. So, they sell useless warranties. Buyers Beware!

I have used 42nd Street Photo for years. Their personalize service is EXCELLENT as well as the quality of the photography equipment. They beat the big box prices by hundreds of dollars with no compromise in quality. Who doesn't want to save money? I love that they call you when you place an order to validate your need. I will continue to go to them for my photography equipment. Check their prices you will not be disappointed... I haven't.

Lens is great and have taken many great photos with it. Worked perfectly on my camera. Had no issues with the sales people or with shipping. And price was very competitive.

B&H is B&H. They are a business that has the greatest collections of Photo/Film gear I have ever seen. People ask, why dont you order off amazon? Well, most of the time, B&H has incredible warrantys and has MANY great bundle deals. I love them so much, and have used them in every film purchase ever. -Gage

I purchased a Nikon p900 online. Was given a courtesy call just before it was shipped to let me have a update on the process ( the morning after I ordered it. It was ordered at 3am . By 10 am I received the call) . Shipping took a few days less than expected. And the product has operated flawlessly. I have no complaints.
